It's a scam. Throw the mail away.

The famous "Nigerian" Scam. This of course is a slight twist on it. Oh you won money now pay us to give it to you. Think about this for a moment. They have the money. They owe it to you. YET they need YOU to give them money to transfer it. Wouldn't they set the winner's money aside for transfer fees? I mean say I owe you a million and it will cost me 100,000 to transfer. So wouldn't I make the top prize 900,000 and keep aside that transfer fee? Alot of people don't take the time to think that through. That is why the scam works.

No, they are all scams.
I received it on e-mail every single day.
If you didn't enter any sweeptakes or buy any lotter from them, how the heck you are going to win.
There is no real winner and people who fall into their trap will lose money.

Do NOT trust them! There is NO SUCH LOTTERY! It's a SCAM. Just delete the e-mail -- it's spam -- and forget about it. Do NOT give them any banking details or send them any money. If you do, you'll never see your money again.

Call the RCMP immediately. You will never see a penny, they are trying to defraud you. The internet fraud division is called phonebusters.
Ask them for the internet fraud division, call phone busters forward these e-mails to them. Phone busters will assign you a file #.
