Scam emails claiming you have won

There's a lot of scam emails telling you you have won a lottery through your email address or you are a beneficiary of a couple who died on a plane crash, or a widow dying of cancer and would want you to build a church or use the funds for charity works. Have you been a victim of this? Or you ignore those emails?

I usually ignore those emails because I know they are scams. sometimes I delete them. I find i is pretty easy to tell the scam eails from actual real emails.

I got 2 of them. I'd love to give the SS but I've deleted it 3 weeks ago.

well 99.9 % time they are fake and so i don't want to take chances with the just .1 percentage. it is generally a spam mail in my mail box and i don't even look at it before deleting that. i know a lot of people do the same.

Yes I get a lot of these and I just delete them. I don't even open them anymore because I usually know what they are from the subject of the email. I think it is ridiculous that people will do this to other people. :)

I use gmail and they're really good at filtering out those scam emails. 99.99% of the time they go straight into the spam folder and I never even have to see them.
