Recieving a winning notifiation of a lottery or contest you did ot enter is the first sure sign of a scam. You are either asked to phone a premium number to hear what you have won and that's how you lose money.

Those things are always such rubbish. I've not had that one but I have supposedly won a car, a laptop, a phone etc in the past - never gone for it though, you need to be careful! Funnily enough I am always the 1000000th visitor to a site and have to click something to claim my free prize - which again, I never do! Good fortune? I think not, just scams! Sorry to disappoint!

NO!! In a nutshell NO, leave it alone with a bargepole and don't reply. It's a scam. Either they want money before they pay you a cheque or it'll be some kind of identity theft by getting lots of personal info off you before they pay. One or the other.
Remember the old saying ... if something seems too good to be true, it probably is!

that could be a scam!!!! they want you to deposit the funds into your account, then cord it to them, alongside with the the rest funds which you owe for "processing costs." I have been given an analogous letter some months in the past from some unknown lottery claiming that I gained $sixty 5,000. They gave me a batch extensive type and each thing. ask your self this: have you ever heard of this lottery? in all probability no longer. 2nd, that is unlawful to play a much off places lottery. Do you remember entering this lottery? in all probability no longer. i did no longer remember the two. that could be a scam!!! do no longer fall for it. As evidence that this could be a scam, call the financial business enterprise and ask them. in case you somewhat gained something, you does no longer could PAY something out of your POCKET TO GET IT!!!!!! you're immediately ENTITLED on your WINNINGS!!!!!!!!!! don't be fooled. in case you deliver them funds, you will no longer get a dime back from them. Please have faith me, that is all a scam to get your funds. superb desires.

Yes, you just need to send them all the details for your bank account and the money will magically appear.
Fool, of course it's a scam
