Any e-mail of that kind is a scam and can be verified online. I received one from International Lottery stating that I won one million dollars US and I went online and the same letter had been sent to many people, they had said they had picked my e-mail from over 70,000,000 can you believe that, I almost fell for it until I researched, be careful they are in this case just trying to get your money but mostly they want your identity, as identity theft is on the rise and if you win something there should be a way to verify the winnings and should not have to pay anything for it.
I would delete all these e-mails and change your password and filter the senders from your e-mails as they can hack your computer and get personal information from your hard drive. I got this information from my research on the web, and my experience after I had followed these instruction was that I found many of my registration keys had been changed on my computer once I did a scan and had messages regarding my operating system not being authentic, windows defender wouldn't work so I had to go online to windows authentication and go through the process again, I am happy to say all is well with my computer and the filters worked as I haven't heard from them again. Good luck.

Do not reply to this type of messages, they are Internet scams. Nigeria has become one of the biggest countries for Internet scams. Think about it if you won something then why would you need to pay to get your prize. Search the Internet for "Nigeria Internet scams". You should never reply to unsolicited e-mails or messages.

You better hold on to your $350.00. These are scams. It has been going on for some time from Nigeria. Give the details to authorities.

Its a scam, it was on the news recently. They tell you they are trying to transport 25 million dollars from Iraq to the U.S., and if you pay them X amount of money they can smuggle it in the US. In the end, they give you a suitcase full of BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER! It is literally BLACK CONSTRUCTION PAPER.
Scam!
