I received an email from the Australian Lottery that I just won a $1,000,000 is it true or a spam?

SPAM!! Do not open it or respond or whatever. They are out to steal money or worse, your identity. Identity theft is the worst.

I'd call the local lottery department. It could be a virus so I wouldn't open it. If you have and they are asking for any personal info DO NOT GIVE IT. If you truely won the lottery they have you go into an office to fill out paper work.

Spam. If you phoned the Lottery they would laugh out loud. It is just a trick to get your identity info and to verify that they have a valid email addresses to sell to the other spammers.

Unless you played the Australian lottery, you should consider it spam.

it is a spam. you have not won nothing, they are saying that to get your money. So what ever you do, do not give or sent your money to that company that claim you have won the million dollars. Their is too many of them spreading around. so Take my word for it. do not response to that. I have talk with the FBI about this and he said those are scam and just delete them or anything that is asking for the money.

It's spam. That is, unless you remember entering such a lottery?
P.S. We heard you the first time.
