Here's the first question you have to ask yourself - Did I enter a lottery? If not, how could you win one?
Any email you get saying you won something that you didn't enter to win is a dead set SCAM. Delete it immediately.
BTW - You do not have relatives who died in Nigeria and they did not leave you any money. (That's the next scam email you will get.)

this is a scam. they want you to send the money, so they can take it, and run with it. you will not get anything back in return. if you really won $250,000, you wouldn't have to pay anything to get it. You'd only have to pay taxes, and that's AFTER you get your winnings. So don't fall for this, if you do, don't say you weren't warned.

This is a scam. The request for money for "taxes" is a dead giveaway. Do not reply to this email, and don't send money.

do not provide your financial employer information over to them, in any respect, or any own information for that count. It probable is a rip-off, and in case you provide financial employer documents to them to ''pass of your money" you okay perhaps shifting all your money to them. i'm getting a lot and a lot of those styles of emails and as much as 3 of them sound tempting, I incredibly have discovered to not DO IT. wish you pay attention to my advice. sturdy success in despite you do.
