Answer 2

Did you play the lottery? Most lotteries require the player to contact the lottery office to claim a large prize. Other small charity lotteries will contact by telephone and have all your information and will require you to pick it up. If these situations do not match yours, the message is most likely spam and simply delete it. Always exercise caution when dealing with emails of this nature.

If you do follow the instructions, you will most likely be asked for "confirmation information" such as your full name, address, etc, information for which they should already have, especially your name! They'll also ask you for credit card information. You're going to ask why. They'll mention that it's to pay for the wire transfer or some other lame excuse. Never give that information out. If you are skeptical, always suggest that you will pick up your winnings in person. And they generally call you but will hardly ever allow you to call them. If you do manage to get a phone number, investigate it through your local telephone directory, directory assistance, or local police department if you suspect a scam.

Lottery scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. Be wary of unsolicited email that informs you that you have won a large sum of money in an international lottery. This is a common Internet scam. There is no lottery and no prize. Those who initiate a dialogue with the scammers by replying to the lottery scam emails will eventually be asked for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with delivery of the supposed "winnings". They may also become the victims of identity theft.

Answer 4

It's a scam! You will never be contacted by email to confirm a lottery win. If you actually entered, you would be contacted by regular mail (usually a FedEx or similar) and/or by phone. Another indicator it's a scam is that they claim you have to pay a fee to collect your winnings.
