It is a scam and you need to report it as Spam and block their address. If you want to play with their heads a little, tell them to take the fee out of the prize money and send you the rest. Always remember that if something sounds to good to be true, it probably is.

Yeah thats a rip-off. purely delete it. I called the variety there and that they tutor me the thank you to do the stairs and each thing to get you funds and once I took the verify to the economic corporation (recieved in the mail), they reported it exchange right into a pretend verify. it may provide you the money yet then later on your lifetime, you will recieve a decision asserting u very own like 2 hundred,000 funds and then it will take all you funds out of your account.

It is a SCAM. They will get money and information from you so that the can drain your bank account. Report them to scams@fraudinternational.com and go to www.fbi.gov
You can't win a prize if you didn't enter the contest. Be smart.

NEVER, EVER...pay for these things. They are just a scam to get your money and you will never see it again. They do the same thing with people looking for roommates. Just follow the old saying, "if if sounds to be too good to be true...it probablly is". These scams are usually address from oversees. But I am sure there are plenty here too.

you fool these are frauds scams hoaxes phishing called it what you like, but no genuine company asks you to pay to recieve your winnings.
your are being had my frioend. don't correspond any more, if you have given any and i mean any personal information such aas your real name address and phone number then inform your bank that you suspect your udentity may be compromised and they are to make no changes to your account without your consent you say you will call in in person and hand deliver any changes that need to be made.
if you have given out your bank account number then again you need to tell your bank and get them to change your account details and issue a new account number reminding them to let all your regular creditors know of the change (those organisations your bank normally handles transactions on your belhalf such as your houshold bills and your employer make sure they know of the bank change or else the fraudsters may get your pay cheque.
in short scam walk away if you have not given any details.
again if you have given out personal details then inform your local police and get them to trace it using there high tec fraud department or what ever your police force calls the department handling this type of crime.

That is a huge scam. If you've "won" money, but you have to pay them money first or give them your bank account number - then you are being scammed and they will rip you off.
Always remember: if it seems too good to be true, then it's a scam.

don't open email from someone you don't know, and don't beleive when they say you won a prixe but, "we need your account number to transfer funds" or "we need you to send us $200 and we'll send you $2000"..it's all a scam and use your best judgement before talking to people involved in things such as this

dont do it think about it, why would they need your money to transfer funds....why dont they just deduct it from the prize money and then transfer the funds. All they are going to do is rip you off.
