Approach Police. Better lodge a complaint that in any case u suffer lose in coming 24 month then that company is responsible. If you have any relative residing over there then contact them and tell them the address of that companies address. Better to go there with Police and enquire for tha same that why you hav been chosen to take that prize. Do not answer there any phone calls as it may be harmfull to you. And PLEASE don't encash that cheque. I am repeting don't ENCASH that cheque . It can become legal problem to you in case they demmanded more cash from you after encashing that cheque.

giving your credit card number to them is a strict no no.
They can do virtually anyting with that number. even all your personal data will become accessible to the hackers.
just ignore the check. its less than Rs 10 in value. dont fall into the trap for so small sum of money.
if the check comes the second time, complaint to the police.

FRIEND.....PLEASE Don't have any contact with that fools....I am also having the same disturbance from them...but change in address...for me...their address is KEVIN , NEW YORK , FREELOTTO.COM....they sent me a lot of messages ... the comedy is I played their game for 20-25 times only...but they are sending me the messages that I am the first to win three prizes in total 10 winners list and also they added me that my prizes are 10,000,000$ , and 10,000$ and 300$ cash. Think it a second ... in our Indian rupees it is equal to approximately 50 crores....who will give you this much of amount for free ? Just neglect them .... one thing I want to say you is I had unsubscribed them and warned them not to send me such messages....they freed me for some 2 months and again now they had started their fraud...they are now sending me 3 messages daily that I am the International winner.....Just I simply checked it by calling my cousin who is in america and a leading software engineer...He told me simply to avoid them because they are the frauds doing this type of gambling , asking 1000 persons a day , their credit card number by announcing them as winners and made them all fool atlast by sucking all their money or simply the service charge from 1000s of people/day..And also he added that his close friend in our country was made fool by them last year only...He gave them his credit card and allowed them to debit his account ... They sucked all his money and no cheque came to him...Don't go forward in this matter...Just forget them and if they send you messages again & again , just don't react and delete it all from your inbox...Be care in turning on your SPAM...sometimes they may send viruses...

If you sign the check, they'll have a copy of your signature (which will then be easy to forge). Also, the back of the check you sign might show the account number to which the check amount was deposited. If so, then, they'll have your account number (which they can try to withdraw money from with a forged check).
