Yes it's a scam if they ask some amount from you. i also received emails from australian lottery that i won $600,000 and i have to pay a hundred dollars to get the prize and i have to send it to western union to pay for the payment form. when i told them that what if they deduct the $100 from my prize they told me that it's not possible. The one's calling me is said to be australian lottery but when i check the person's address where ill send the payment its from abuja,nigeria.

Can I say SCAM!
I have been receiving all kinds emails concerning money that I will recieve or this or that.
Then when I get all excited, I come to mylot to tell everyone, and am soon brought down.
Everyone tells me it is just a scam, when it seems very real.
But, who really knows.
I'd say, if they ask for money first, it's probably a scam.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I too have gotten my bubble bursted as well.
