ITS A SCAM

The first thing you have to do is ask yourself if you entered any lottery. If you didn't it is definately a scam and it is gonna cost you in some way if you give out your info. Everything on the internet is a scam anymore. You won a free ipod. You won free grocerys, etc. etc. Its very annoying cause if you ever did win something you would probably delete it thinking its a scam. I actually got a real check in the mail once claiming I won $100,000. I didn't remember entering so I had it investigated. If I would have cashed the check I would be out 100gs right now. You gotta be careful.

Yea, I think it's a scam. They go so far to make it sound believable. My dad had a guy call him, saying he wanted to meet him for business. The guy had a company, knew people who worked at my dad's company, names and everything. Anyway he said he was flying in to have a meeting. The guy calls and says that his plane got cancelled, and he needed to buy a new ticket, or else he was stuck in the airport. My dad was about to help him out, when by chance one of my dad friends told him the same thing happened to him.
So it seems real, but I doubt it is. But maybe going to the police and asking them is best.

DELETE IT.
You have not won anything. This is spam and a possible next step will be an attempt to either get you to send money "to validate your claim" or when you hand over all your personal details the sender will use the information to steal your identity.
You are one of thousands if not millions of recipient of this email.

if it sounds too good to be true, usually is. trash it and block it.
