First off, have you ever been to South Africa? If not, then it is a given that is a scam. How could you win something in a country you have never been to? Secondly, never trust anything you get in your email. If it was important, then you would get a phone call to confirm it. I assume they want all kinds of important information to continue the transaction. No legitimate organization would ask those in an email.

HELL NO!!!! This is a scam. There was a piece on it last week on Dateline or 20/20 or some other news show. If you got an email from someone you don't know telling you you won a million bucks don't believe it. The suck you dry and spit out your bones. Report email as spam.

No..its a scam. Do not send money or go anywhere. No phone calls. Its a scam. Take it to your bank and report it.

Most of them ask you for your name,address,phone#,banking account, and some times they ask for your personal info?. some even ask for money to file your claim these co.,s are defineately fraud if you win a legit lotto why should it cost you anything but to tell them where to send your check at! If you won it doesn't cost you anything!!!
