  1. It is spam, sometimes it can be sent to your inbox.  I would delete it, for it maybe a virus or worm.


  2. Use your head, of course it is a fake

    If you reply they will want money before you get your million,

    then you will never hear back from them or if they are asking for

    your bank account #'s they will steal your money

    There is no way they are sending you a million $

    Do a search and you will find a lot of info on this common scam

  3. it is a scam, brotha.

  4. amazing :o

  5. It is a scam.

    You cannot have an international lottery as the gambling laws differ in every country.

    The scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.

    If you want to check a email you think might be a scam go to www.scamomatic.com

    Lotterys work like this:

    1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc

    The lottery company now has 10,000

    2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)

    Scams work like this:

    -1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)

    0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)

    2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)

    3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)

    4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )

    5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com

    Everything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)

    The moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is

    havea look at www.fraudwatchers.org

  6. do not give them any info! it is a scam, they will use your bank account information and wipe it out

  7. there are scam out there, sounds like you may have ran into one of them............

  8. this is all fake

  9. If you did not purchase a lottery ticket, then you did not win anything.

  10. if ur not in australia its all fake if u are then u better contact the apprpiate authorities like the governement body or the organization which regulates the lotteries

  11. IT'S A SCAM!!!!!

    Foreign Lottery scams are the second most well known of the advanced fee fraud schemes. In this scam you get a message from an official of the lottery telling you that you have won. Woopie, you are rich!! Of course you do not remember entering the lottery but they come up with some sort of a story for why you don't remember. They get your information and then you start getting requests for money. Taxes are due before the money can be paid out. A bribe is needed for a public official because it is illegal for an American to play foreign lotteries. And so on until they take as much from you as they can get.

  12. It's totally real. Send them all the information they want and you'll get a cheque over the Internets. Congratulations! I'm so jealous!

  13. just another scam
