Never give out any bank info to these scamming people. Just delete the e-mail and report it as spam. You don't have a dime coming to you from these people.If you had won a lottery,they could just send the check,or have you appear on television or something like that. Don't even reply to the e-mail.

I've received so many lottery winnings I should have been able to retire years ago LOL. Total scam, just block it. I always send a nasty one back to them letting them know they need to think of something a bit more original next time.

Your fears are well-founded. It's a SCAM. There are thousands of them circulating the net at any given moment. Just delete the message. Do NOT have any contact with the scammers. At the very least, they'll sell you e-mail address to a SPAMMER. At the worst, they'll drain your bank account.

AVOID CONTACT WITH THESE PEOPLE!
THIS IS PROBABLY PART OF THE NIGERIAN EMAIL SCAM WHICH HAS BEEN RUNNING IN DIFFERENT FORMS FOR A FEW YEARS. CHECK THIS SITE.

It is fake, delete it. It is not a personal email, they send thousands of these, hoping to even get 1 person to give up their personal information -never reply or give out personal information on emails like this.

you should delete it and block it. Don't even open it because there could be a virus in it ready to download as soon as you open it.
