I have been told you need to buy a lottery ticket in order to win a lottery ... I suspect they are frauds. If you want to really find out, for the fun of it, withdraw all your money from your current bank account and put it into a new account. Then proceed. If you really have won the Lottery everywhere in the world, you should get a lot of money coming in and have fun with it! But if they are out to rip you off, they can't because there isn't any money in your account to start with ... just say you don't have a credit card. And make sure you don't give out any details of other accounts.
Let us know what happens!

Hopefully you didn't send them any personal info with financial info like bank accounts or S#'s These are typical scams... Also watch out for Viruses that will read your computer.. will take passwords off your computer and personal info too. Delete them always don;t even bother. if you won they would send you a registered letter. besides did you enter an Australian Lottery? prob not! then that's your answer too. Good luck! Like to add you may want to add them to your junk mail list and in your firewall as unsafe

No. You cannot win the lottery if you haven't entered it. Just delete the e-mail and whatever you do, do not send anybody any money. There is more information about the lottery scam e-mails on Snopes, linked below.

Look at these links..
http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/information.do?info=commonscams
http://uk.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-&p=lottery%20emails
There are loads of these emails going around - and they are all scams.. don't reply to them, simply delete them, or better yet..Get a spam filter and block the addresses they are being sent from..
If you see that they are sent from a free provider like yahoo, gmail, msn or hotmail - report it to them.. this way they will be able to do something about the scammers..
Eventually - hopefully people will get sent to prison for scamming..

No, if you didn't buy a ticket for the lottery it's a scam, they are after you to send them money to 'release' the funds, then they get your money, but you don't get the 'prize'.

They are a scam, and will ask for a credit card number.

If they promise you something for nothing or are asking you to pay before you collect then they are scams.
