Don't do them. Don't reply to them. They are scams. Dateline NBC did a whole show on these types of emails. They actually responded to them. Alot of these emails come from Africa. After many replies and more info they get you to go over to Europe and meet with a guy. The guy gets a deposit from you and then wants more. He squeezes as much money out of you as possible then dissapears. NBC didn't just investigate one email... they replied to dozens. THEY ARE JUNK EMAILS TRYING TO TAKE YOUR MONEY DO NOT REPLY TO THEM!!!!

All spam emails/unsolicted letters and faxes are scams.
As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.
my Advice: Don't deal with anyone from a foreign country or Accept checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.
Remember, if it sounds too good
to be true, it probably is! NEVER give out your personal information to strangers online! Always be on guard.

This is spam mail. You seriously dont believe money is going to be sent to you?
These type of emails get sent to millions of people everyday on the slight chance some idiot will fool for it......
Delete it!
And if ever you get another which you will, i get around 5 a day, Just Delete, Delete Delete.
Naivety and the internet do not go together.

Absolutely! Why wouldn't you believe anything you read on the internet? Of course you can't just send out 1,500,000 pounds without a little freight fee. You'd better get it before they give it to someone else.

First Tell Me Do you Play National Sweepstake lottery or Not.
IF you didn't play means it is definitely scam. If you win means why you want pay that money for them tell to cut that amount from your winnings.
Don't pay anything. Don't believe them it is definitely scam only.

I won the same sweepstakes just other day!!!!!! :D Wow...what are the odds?? (Just kidding!) If this isn't a contest that you remember entering, then it's a scam and I wouldn't trust them - especially if they're asking you to pay them!

If something SOUNDS too good to be true,
it usually IS too good to be true
Another variation of the Nigerian lottery scam (due to the lax laws in Nigeria, many scammers have based their operations there).

Can you say s.c.a.m? Sorry, you didn't win anything - they are just trying to scam you out of the money for the "delivery fee". DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY!

Congratulations! I won the same one, plus many others from other countries. Just waiting for all that money to come through!
