Be sensible. If you haven't entered you haven't won.
Most of these scams are run from Nigeria and they rely on peoples' greed.
There is no such thing as free money!

They ARE all scams... Unless you bought a ticket, how do you think you won?? (We happily announce to you the draw of the EUROPEAN SWEEPSTAKES International programs held on the 10th of June 2007 in CROYDON, LONDON Your email address attached to ticket number :1456 with serial number :5555/04 drew the lucky number 3-1-174, which subsequently won you the lottery in the first category. You have therefore been approved to claim a total sum of €2,000,000.00 (Two million euros) in cash credited to file wlp/23456/05. This is from a total cash prize of €60,000,000 Million euros, shared amongst the first thirty (30) lucky winners in this category.)
Go to 419... search for the scams (and PLEASE post yours also)... Seeing is believing!

They are all scams designed to appeal to the hard up who will go for anything if it means money. They are after either your personal details for identity theft or ask for a sum of money so that your winnings can be processed. If you did not enter a lottery how on earth can you expect to be a winner.
