EVERY HEARD THE WORD SCAM. SCAM SCAM SCAM
You are not a winner!
You are not going to get any money!
And if you play their game they will get 19.99 of your money!
If this letter came in the postal mail report it to the police. If it was an email just delete it and never look at those again!

the $19.99 is only the 1st payment they'll ask for. you send them that, and you'll get another notice that there's a tax to pay, etc. etc. it's ALL scams. when you need to check (if you even choose to bother) go to snopes.com for any suspected hoax or scam.
i even got a winning notice for 800,000 euros on Yahoo letterhead the other day. don't even waste your time opening those mails, just mark them as spam.

Sure, send them your $20.00. Just don't be surprised if you never hear anything from them again. Unless of course they use your checking account information to clean out your account.
