I've received an e-mail from Mr Alexandra Davis stating that I have won the Euro-Afro-American Sweepstake Lottery International... Is anyone aware of a scheme?

three ways to tell
1. did you sign up for the "Euro-Afro-American Sweepstakes Lottery International"
2. is it asking for a credit card number or something like that
3. is the email address that sent it to you an address that someone providing from a company like this would use?
(I doubt someone working for a lottery would use anything but their own email based out of their website)

through fact the fee continues to be useful to deliver it. in the event that they'd get a undeniable proportion of clicks or responses from the masses or hundreds they deliver, it somewhat is well worth it. regrettably, till some harsher unsolicited mail rules are enacted that would fee them for sending undesirable e-mails, this would proceed. yet another element that needs to coincide with the unsolicited mail rules, is the sharing or merchandising of email lists needs to renounce! each and each business enterprise that compiles or shares your email handle ought to be fined for sending that to somebody without your exhibit written consent. i think that in the event that they had to pay each and each individual for each and each email that got here from them sharing your handle, the unsolicited mail would be halted very much.

Yep, one of common ones. To find out more go to FBI website, they've got tons of information on e-mail schemes.

It is a scam. Originates in Liberia. Don't get taken in by this seemingly safe and easy money maker. You will lose big, big, big time. Don't believe me? Call the BBB or your local FBI for referral numbers.
