YES>>>I know all about this because I work at a bank.. I get tons of calls asking if they get a lottery check from a courier service if we will cash it? The answer is NO... Because you will probably never see the lottery check anyway. Plus, you will never see your $700-$1,500 that you paid a courier to get it.. Thats the scam.. You pay this money to get a check that is bogus and the scammers get your money and you never get the check and never hear from them again. It's hard to trace them and they move fast.. In some cases, customers get a check only to find out later it bounces...(If it sounds to good to be true ..It probably is) Just dishonest people trying to steal your money and we are all vunerable to this because we want to believe this so badly.. Please watch your back and don't fall for this and get hurt...

DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL. IT IS FRAUDELENT! I get them all of the time along with email saying that some diplomat died in a car wreck and have no heir to inherit their fortune. This are called 419 scams which mostly originate in Nigeria - Africa. They try to catch your attention by saying that you have won millions or inherited millions. It is also called "advance fee" fraud scam.
Delete them and don't respond. These are dangerous people who are conducting these scams.

Its a scam- do not send any money- just delete the message. If you really applied for a lottery, they would contact you via first class mail with signature confirmation or via the telephone. also- you wouldnt have to PAY for anything if you won something.

definite, that's a scam. as with every emails like the only you won, purely supply it the unsolicited mail "heave-ho" into the rubbish and pass on. the actuality is this: you will get no longer something out of this bogus lottery.

I get this same email a least once a week going on a year. It is a scam. Please do not send in any money. If and when you really win anything it should not cost anything. GOOD LUCK

yup, I paid the fee and the lottery check showed up at my door a couple weeks later. It was one of those big novelty sized checks and it was made out to SUCKER. Fortunately the bank still accepted it and now I'm a millionaire

I don't know if you have really won a lottery!
But, When I open my bulk mail, there are a lot of mails saying that I won lottery...
How can you win a lottery, in which you never participated....
