I got an email like this that was a scam. If you win a lottery they will not contact you like that. You can report the site but I can't remember the site I reported mine to but just type in scam lotteries and you will be directed to many sites. Just give them all the info you can. Be carefull of your email.

DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION!!!!! This is spam and I get it all the time. Just hit that Delete button and be done with it! Think back to yourself, did I enter a lottery? NO NO NO!!! This guy is will take over your life if you give out any information! Trust me and everyone else!

NO NO NO. 99.9% of the time these are FALSE and are just fishing for your personal information (or email address to use to send you more junk). If you did enter a sweepstakes that you think this might be a winning notification to, remember that if you truly did win...they'll call you. If still in doubt, call the Better Business Bureau in your area for help.

No it is bogus. Don't listen to that stuff. They try to get your information and they are fakes. Plus it would say a lot more than " You won a million dollars" they always have those things on trying to get your information. Don't do it.

If you got this sort of thing via snail mail would you respond to that?? I hope the answer is no, and if it is, that goes 10x for email. I don't care if the email you get sends you pictures of starving kids in Zambia asking you to donate 5 cents a day, don't do it.

I'd be very careful about this one. There are a lot of phishing schemes out there and others that are out to get money from you. Did you enter a lottery? Don't pay a dime to get money in return. Just beware of easy money come-ons.

No, it's a phishing scam. If it seems too good to be true...it probably is. Stay away from those types of email. Ignore it unless it's something you authentically signed up for.

If you want to lose money yes....Trust me, it is a scam. A lady here lots thousands of dollars because she was naive. Don't even open emails like that.

And he is either going to rip off every cent you have or steal your identity!!!
Ask yourself did you enter this contest? No, right. Then how can I win if i did not enter.
Or, If I won they already know who I am so I don't have to give them any info right.
It's a SCAM!!!!!

NO, and if they ask for a couple of hundred dollars for a processing fee, tell them to take it out of your winnings, that will usually expose them as schemer's. No personal information is to be given.
