You and millions of others that this email was sent to have apparently won the Australian lottery. Give them the information they ask for and the prize is they'll try to steal your identity or they will ask you to send them the taxes or some processing fee. Like I told someone else who asked a similar question before, if you didn't buy a ticket or haven't entered a contest then you cannot win anything.

You cannot win a lottery prize from a lottery you did not enter or buy a ticket for. This same scam used to come by regular mail. Other forms are a Canadian lottery and I have seen a Spanish lottery. It is someone phishing for your personal info.

Its a SCAM..
Think about it.. If you won a Lottery... Anywhere in the WORLD..... Don't you think they would fly you out there so, they can have you on TV and whatever else...
Think about it.. Here in the US.. If anyone wins anything even near a million.. Its all over the newspapers and TV...
There probley going to try and steal your identity or after you fill out Payment Processing.. There going to say please send us (about) $5,000 for the taxes and processing fees...
So, I wouldn't do anything but, just ignore them.. Or write back and say.. Send me the money and I'll send you the info back once I received it..
They will never answer you back.. and I would try and call you Internet provider and tell them about it...
Good luck with everything and let us know what happens...

Have u ever bought such lottery? No, i think. SO DONT have self belief. all those dupers ask for some funds 50 - one hundred funds to technique paper artwork. under no circumstances deliver. in the previous making any loopy funds, if u desire to purpose, confirm the counsel with the Embassy of the concerend united states.

I HIGHLY doubt that they would put random people in for a lottery, so most likely, it is not true. Especially if they are saying they will need your bank account and pass.

Lucky you. Myself, I've won the "UK Lottery" about ten times and had three wealthy Nigerians die and leave me vast fortunes. Listen very closely: SCAM !!!!!!!!!!!! Don't give them any info at all, just hit the delete button.

No it is spam. if you are at work and it is a work email report it to IT. If it is on your personal computer delete it and do not open any attachemtns to it. NEVEr under any circumstances follow through read or give information to unsolicited emails.
