winner lotto award 150 thousand dollars?

Question

should I take it and I must pay for wires transfer to bank accounts?

Answer 1

If you have to pay to win a prize, it isn't a prize it is a scam.

Answer 2

"Well pleased by kirk" - good job you didn't reply to that email, because I today received exactly the same one. So sounds like your loss is my gain!

In all seriousness - these lotto scams are widespread, 60 since January isn't unbelievable. Leave well alone mate, there's some nasty buggers out there who'll stop at nothing to get a few quid off you. Recently tried to sell my car online and my inbox was full of scammers, they have so many ways of fooling people who think they can make an easy pound. If you reply they know you're email is active, so just ignore

Answer 3

Put the mail in your trash folder. Next week you'll win another online lottery and be eligable for 2 million dollars. Why think small? Go for that one instead. If you're feeling greedy, why not claim them all - plus the one that you will win next month for a quarter of a million euros.

I myself have won about 60 different lotteries since January, in such far-flung places as Australia, America, Canada and the UK. Next to yourself, I must be the luckiest person on the planet, especially since I have never bought a ticket!

Needless to say, I am so rich I don't know what to do with all my new-found wealth. Party at my place!!

Answer 4

honey did you get an email, phone call or letter in the mail stating that you won this alleged "lottery"? well if you did i have to warn you. that this is not real. it is a scam. they will ask for you account no# "so the money can be transfered to you" but while you're being a hgappy camper thinking you're about to get all this money. they are just as happy because you "the sucker" feel for it and they are going to rob your account blind.

fyi- nothing is free.. here is an example of such emails i'v received int he past:

Dear Friend,

I have a Business Proposal of Twenty Four million Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only ( $24,500,000.00) for you to handle with me from my bank.I will need you to assist me in executing this Business Project from Hong Kong to your country. I need to know if you will be able to handle this with me before I explain to you in details ? Should you be interested please send me your full names and address to my private email address

If you are Interested reply to only this email [e-mail]

Answer 5

Uhm... you really need to provide more detail.

Did you get an email saying you won a lotto and you have to pay something to get the money? If so, it's a scam. Run like Hell.

Answer 6

We get loads of these every day and we tell you all the same .... It's a scam designed to rip you off of a couple of hundred quid in fees and then they disappear with your money to pull it all over again on someone else.

I bet the reply address was yahoo.com or hotmail.com

Do you really think a professional organisation would use a free email address?

Answer 7

Yeah sure that you have won and the pixies and elves live at the bottom of my garden.

What you should do is pass this to the police or authorities that deal with these scammers.

Answer 8

Sounds like a scam,better check, particularly if you didn't enter the lottery.

Answer 9
