How could you have won the lottery in South Africa when you can't spell "Africa"?

Well - you can't trust these kinds of emails.
Did you actually BUY a lottery ticket in south Africa?
If you want to waste money on lottery tickets, buy one in the US at the 7-11 store.

You Can't. UNless you entered a lottery in South Africa you could'nt have won anything. Also, if they are asking for money, it is definately a fraud. Any fees should be taken out of the winnings. Pay it no mind and delete it.

Don't trust them, because they are fake. Did you even enter the lottery in South Africa? If you had, and you had won, would they notify you by email? Usually if you win the lottery you have to claim the prize yourself, they don't contact you.

Do not trust such e-mails. Ever wondered how you could win a lottery in South Africa? Lol, once I got an e-mail that said A Nigerian man needs my bank account to transfer 1 million dollar to my account. :)

First ask yourself "Did I enter any competition or buy any lottery tickets?"
If the answer to that is a resounding "NO" then the email is obviously a scam.

Unless you BUY a ticket for a local lottery, don't trust these.

nooooooo, never return any of these emails.
they tell you that you won a large amount of money and to send them your bank account number and routing number so they can deposit it into your account.
they are doing this to take money out of your account.
this is a scam. i wouldn't even open the email

easy as this....did you send anything in, sign up for it, or anything like the sort for you to even be entered??? probably not so why would you even consider that it is real? it is a scam and you should just delete it and pretend you never got it.
