Ok i recently recieved a letter saying Ive won from lottery $660,000
It asks for personal datails, BUT credit card is optional. It says send a copy of your passport and driving lisence. AND they say when i recieve the check the money i should pay them 6%.
I think it is true because they dont ask for money before i get it and they send cheque!
Please help :) excited realy

You cannot win a lottery that you do not enter.
This is a scam to get your money or personal information.
SCAM SCAM SCAM
Report this to your local police department so that others can be helped as well.
p.s. The "check" they send often is bogus, as is the whole scheme. By that time they have your 6% or over $4,000.

Don't be stupid.
1. The check they send will go through your bank and you'll send them back the 6%, then their original check will bounce when presented to their bank, so your bank will deduct the $660k from your account and you'll lose the 6% on top of that.
2. Passport? License? Get real - why do they need that? To steal your identity, so if you have credit cards or bank accounts they can charge and drain money from them, maybe even use your identity to commit more fraud. Now you've got a criminal record. Nice.
Pull your head out and stop being excited. Just be glad you took the advice here before they got to you. Now go earn money by working like the rest of us!

Sorry, the only thing you have won is a free spam email. If you provide the information they are asking for you will also win the gift of identity theft.
Seriously, the only way to win a lottery is to pay to play. Then check your ticket and see if you win. But you can never win a lottery that you have not paid to play.

Uh, the bank is going to make you refund the $660k and charge you ISF fees.

They may not ask for money upfront because they just want to steal your identity... I seriously doubt it's legit!
