Question

this compony leave me an email and told me i have won a prize (250000euro) and i dont know they are true or no

Answer 1

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you did not really win the lottery. The e-mail that you received seems too good to be true because it is. No legitimate lottery or company contacted you. Rather, a scammer found your e-mail address somewhere on the Internet and send you, along with hundreds or thousands of other people, the same message.

If you reply to this e-mail, the scammer will soon request that you wire him money. Sometimes, he wants "courier fees." He might also claim that you must pay taxes, or some other fee, to release your prize money. If you send the first payment, the scammer will return and ask you for more money for some other reason. This will continue until you either go broke or realize that you're being scammed. Either way, you will never see the prize money, as it does not exist.

Think about these things:

* When did you enter this lottery or drawing? If you don't play, you can't win.

* Why are you being contacted by e-mail? When you buy a lottery ticket, you don't give the clerk your e-mail address. And if you really did win some sort of drawing, the company would use certified mail or some other, secure means of contacting you. They would not e-mail you. Period.

* Since when have legitimate lotteries required you to pay up before you receive your prize? This just does not happen. You pay taxes on your winnings after you collect them. You do not pay "courier fees" to release the check. And you certainly do not have to pay any other charges to get the money that you won. If you're asked for money up front, you're probably about to be a victim of Advance Fee Fraud.

If you still aren't sure that this is a scam, do the following:

* Copy part of the e-mail and paste that into a search engine. Many known scam e-mails are collected and published at various anti-scam Web sites. These pages are there to help spread the word about these scams so that fewer people will fall for them. Use these free tools to your advantage: search parts of any suspicious e-mail you receive before you reply.

* Contact your local law-enforcement department. More often than not, somebody there is familiar enough with this widespread scam to confirm that it is not real.

You should delete the scam e-mail and forget about it. Reporting the e-mail account to the provider to have the box closed might seem like a good idea, but this can ruin an active law-enforcement investigation.

You can also warn people you know about these scams. The more people we all tell, the fewer potential victims these low-life scammers will have.

Answer 2

This is a SCAM. The below links confirm many email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
