Most likely scam. Use the google, it turns up hits that differ. From cartoons to a candy.

Yes, this is a scam.

You cannot win a lottery you did not enter.

This is an attempt at identity theft.

Answer 7

Definately a scam.

The thing to remember when someone tells you you have 'won something', is ask yourself.....Did you enter that Lottery.

Answer 8

That is a scam. I don't know how it works exactly, but you didn't win that money. I usually get two to three of those e-mails everyday.  Just mark it as spam and forget about it.

Answer 9

Yep. Scam. That's been going around for years in one form or another.

Answer 10

Yes.

Answer 11

Yeah, all these types of e-mails pertaining to lottery and lottery winnings are all scams.  DO NOT send any information.  This is becoming a more common method for scammers to do their business.

Answer 12

Yes, of course it's a scam.

Answer 13

Maybe, this is the worst scam you ever had. If you joined this lottery, prepare to lose your money. Don't waste your money with following that scam lottery. Don't forget to mark this mail as a spam and just forget about it. WHAT A SCAM!!!

Answer 14

yeah it looks like a scam

be very suspicious, people are not out there to give you money.

be extremely suspicious of international transactions. Even if Blair himself wrote me an email i would not believe it.

People have been scammed by check fraud, some people even commited suicide when they found out they were scammed.

Basically what happened someone oversees would send you a check with to much money on it, ask you for a refund, you would refund back, by the time that the bank actually realized it was a fake check they would allready have your money. and you would be screwed.
