Do NOT give them any information. They are trying to get any and all
of your personal information. First they will want your name and address and telephone # then your Social Security # and then they ask for your bank information and your CC number. They say it's so they can deposit the money into your bank account but it is just a way to take all your money.
This is the # 1 way used to steal your identy. Please be safe and do NOT answer any emails that promis you this kind of money. It's all a scam.

If it asks you for you name and address and a bunch of other info don't do it. If you won something don't you think they would at least have your name already? Do you remember entering any lottories??? if not then I would suggest not to give them any info. I get these emails a couple times a month and never reply. I don't see how I could have won 2 or 3 times a month on one lottery.

Did you sign up for a lottery? DId you enter a sweepstakes or drawing? Did you buy a lotto ticket? If you answered no to all of the above, this is a SCAM! They will ask for your bank account information, so they can deposit for "winnings" oh, but first they will extract fees, and other things and the money will never show up.
If it sounds too good to be true, then it IS!

Tt sounds too good to be true, but do be lured by it! Any time you get an unsolicited email saying you have won something it is indeed a scam. Don't fall for it. They want to get your personal information so they can add you to their list for spam.
If I were you, delete or ignore emails which come from unknown sources. If u ever need further information on online email scams visit this website-

what i would suggest you is to do whatever they ask you to do, like sending them mails and replies, etc. As and when they ask you about your personal information like social security number or credit card number or date of birth and/or asking for money to send their prize or cheque, you know what to do immediatly, just back off from it and completely ignore it.

Hi, Previously I tried this freelotto game. In this i won three times. One is for $10000, and $100000 dollors. They asked me to give a credit card number from that card they will cut money of 15 cents. I am not given my number to them. But after some days, i received a cheque for 14cents. I leaved that one.Better dont give any details. Dont take risk....
