SCAM -SCAM-SCAM.
NEVER RESPOND TO THESE PEOPLE.
If it seems to good to be true...... it is......
African countries, especially Nigeria is especially bad about SCAMMING the Naive and the Elderly and the Gullible in America. We Americans are much toooo trusting.
Be smart, DELETE THESE AS SOON AS YOU SEE THEM. OR IF YOU GET THEM IN THE FORM OF A PHONE CALL .....HANG UP.
They will NEVER send you money but they will ask for money.

Pure scam. All of them. How can you win something you never signed up for????
This lady on Answers a few days ago was crying because she fell for the scam. She sent them money and they sent her a check. She found out that the check was fake after she deposited it into her account. Now, the bank is coming after her.
I STILL can't believe she fell for that.

Most likely a total scam. Even if you won a lottery, if you didn't claim your winnings they go right back into the pot and they will NEVER notify you.

Hm...sounds fishy to me. These lottery scams are actually pretty well-known. They usually come from other countries (Denmark, Belgium, or perhaps an African country) and you usually have to send a cash advance to claim your "winnings". I'd be quite wary. Google the name of the lottery to find out more info. Definitely find out for yourself, don't take my word for it. Good luck to you and be careful out there!

Pure scam, ask yourself this........
Do I know those people?
Have I had communication with them in the past?
If you answer NO to both questions, you have a clear SCAM.
