Answer 1

Two questions you have to ask yourself:

1)  Am I feeling lucky today and just won quite possibly the draw of a lifetime?

or

2)  Are you too stupid to live?

The choice is yours......

Answer 2

well it depends of the sender. but you havent really won anything yet. it doesnt hurt to try, but dont accept if they charge you any fees. i know vodafone has all these free tickets to basically any event so if u have a vodafone cell and account, maybe u subscribed to god knws what and u won things...though thats not likely to happen.

Answer 3

i wouldn't really say it's a junk mail... just mail back, it won't hurt you, if they then should write you pay .,.. $ OK, then it was a junk mail... otherwise, just wait, if they want something from you, they'll inform you soon enough.

Answer 4

It could be some kind od scam.  I would send this letter to your E-Mail provider.

Answer 5

Sounds like junk mail to me

Answer 6

go to Germany

Answer 7

Ja i got an email saying i had won tickets to the final..  hahahaha and all i had to do is send $100 to comfirm and get the ticktes. Hoaks!

Answer 8

its a scam

Answer 9

Its a junk mail

Answer 10

Ok, those emails are scams. I get them all the time. Once they sent me a website to go to and they said it was free but really it was $30 to sign up. Don't email them back with any information.

Answer 11

You are right to be suspicious.

I suspect you left out part of the message because this email does not instruct you to do anything.  Usually these emails (or follow-ups) - request that you do something - like send them money - to stay in the draw for the tickets. Or send them money to have the tickets couriered to you.

This one doesn't make sense because we are within 2 weeks of the final game.  How many people would have passports ready and be able to fly across the world - on a moments notice - if they won?

Not many!  The timing doesn't make sense. Don't respond to this email.  If you really win something - they will also notify you by telephone.  They'll know your name and details - and they won't ask you for any money.
