Did i ever win online?

Question

did i ever win anything online because i have put my name address phone number everything except credit card number and they say i won but idk

Answer 1

I am guessing that you have received an unsolicited email stating you have won a lottery even though you haven't purchased a ticket.  If this is the case, then this is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet 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.

Most probably a scam. Don't ever give out personal info online.
