Answer 1

sounds like a scam to me.

Answer 2

Let's look at the evidence...
1) E-mail is written in lousy English. 'You are assured of having received your cash prize' is about three tenses at once. 'Information' does not have a plural.
2) The phone number given is a mobile phone - surely a reputable coompany would provide a valid land line number,
3) 'Michael' is misspelled.
4) the word 'Fiduciary' has not been used in normal context since 1865
5) Everything coming by e-mail informing you of a lottery win is a scam. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS.

So with due consideration od the above evidence IT'S A FRAUD.

Answer 3

That is a scam. They will tell you that you have to pay a fee - maybe a legal or transfer fee - and then they ask you to pay more fees, and you want to because you desperately want your winnings. Eventually you pay more and more, and then when you are all out of money, and you demand your winnings - they disappear.

There are NO winnings.

And if you KNOW you did not enter any such lottery, then how can you win something you did not enter?

Answer 4

Sorry, you didn't win anything - this is one of the most common scams going around right now. If you respond, they'll tell you that you need to send money for this courier service - then you'll never see your "prize", just be out your money that you sent.

Answer 5

If you have not entered a competition you can not win. Sounds like a big con to me.

Answer 6
