Answer 1

This is an absolute trademark scam. You get a message from a lottery you didn't enter saying that you'll get thousands/millions of dollars if you only send a "processing fee" of a few hundred dollars and enough bank and personal information that they'd probably be able to empty it out. Simply getting unsolicited e-mail from Nigeria is enough of a giveaway, as it's the traditional home of these "411" scams.

If you didn't enter a lottery you didn't win it.
No lottery will make you send a few hundred dollars to claim your prize, nor will they ask for that much information.
Never send money/information to a random Nigerian guy who contacted you via e-mail. There's tons of websites devoted to these scams. People have had their bank accounts emptied, their lives ruined, and there is at least one account of a murder of someone that got caught up in these scams.

Just avoid.
