This a bigger fraud going around. You will be lured to provide your bank account details and also pay them certain amount of money. Once you pay the money, you will see that the money will be taken from your bank account and you will not hear anything from the person who has contacted you. Even your efforts to contact these people will not give you good results because these guys are a farce. You will end up losing a lot of money in these scams. This is a way for the scammers to make money out of you.
Previously, there was a scam that Microsoft has been conducting lottery and will give away certain amount of money.
Do not trust these kinds of mails. If an Australian company is giving you money, they will give in Australian Dollars and not US Dollars

that is a rip-off!!!! they want you to deposit the money into your account, then cord it to them, alongside with the last money that you owe for "processing expenses." I were given an same letter some months in the past from some unknown lottery claiming that I received $sixty 5,000. They gave me a batch volume and each and every thing. ask your self this: have you ever heard of this lottery? probable no longer. second, that is unlawful to play a overseas lottery. Do you keep in innovations getting into this lottery? probable no longer. i did not keep in innovations both. that is a rip-off!!! do no longer fall for it. As evidence that that is a rip-off, call the commercial corporation and ask them. in case you actually received some thing, you does no longer ought to PAY some thing out of your POCKET TO GET IT!!!!!! you're without delay ENTITLED on your WINNINGS!!!!!!!!!! do no longer be fooled. in case you deliver them money, you received't get a dime decrease back from them.

Lotteries don't mail letters to people. And why would the Australian Lottery give away US Funds? Did you purchase an Australian Lottery ticket?
If it's too good to be true, it is.

No. It's a scam. Send the address to the Australian law., than mark it spam. If uo don't mark them all pam soon you'll be getting them everyday. Many people fall for these scams including many lawyers who being scammers themselves should know better than anyone.

It is true until the letter asks you for your banking and personal information!!!!
Then the letter continues on to ask for a little bit of money
from YOU prior to "releasing the funds".
Then you see the words or "we need you to accept funds in your country for them!!!!!! and on and on.
Or if it reads "Western Union".
Run run run !!!!!!
Fraudsters have great stories to deceive you.
Report it.

They are going to wipe you out. It is a scam.
What I do it tell them to use my winnings to pay all their fees and send me the rest in a check.
Do not give them your banking info, date of birth or social security number.
