If you get any email telling you that you have won any amount of money DO NOT OPEN this type of email if you have won they will let you know by post. Potentially very dangerous to open such emails. this type can carry viruses, that can wipe out your computer, damage your boot drive so you would have to buy a new hard drive. ANY ONE reading this, be aware as much as you are tempted to if you are not sure as to who sent you a particulate email then delete it right away DO NOT OPEN IT. you have now been warned.

Seriously wake up!
Do you really believe that someone that you don;t know, in a country that you have never been to, wants to give you money? You can't be that naive.
On the other hand, if you are that easily fooled....
How would you like to invest in some nice ocean front property in Kansas?

i don't know anyone who won something they did not register for. it seems there are a lot of smart people from other countries who send e mails to to people who would love a huge sum of money and promise riches beyond our wildest dreams.hopefully the word will get out , because as soon as you give up your bank info to forward you the funds, you are drained of your money or identity. pleas do like most of us and just hit the spam button and not become another victim.

I have got a couple of those in the past.
Just report them as junk email. You havent won a penny.

No, of course it is fake.
However, pay a visit to www.419eater.com for people who wind up the scammers and take them away from more potential victims.
Well worth a laugh.
