Have you received emails saying you have won in the lottery?

I am sick and tired of those emails saying I have won in the lottery and so on... What do you usually do when you get this thing? I don't even read them-- I delete them right away... But there are some people who takes it seriously without having them realize that it is actually a virus or a scam.

I regularly receive them everyday since I can remember. I also have emails in which I know I didn't participate or signed up. These people are the reason they created the anti-spammers act but to no avail. I do hope that somebody will come up with an idea to get rid of these. And, yes, be careful because they have viruses that will wreck havoc to your system. What's more, all your efforts will be wasted once ou have a nasty virus in your system.

Yes I have. Like you I ignore them. They get deleted immediately. They are scams, and I feel sorry for those who get duped. I guess it happens once in a while.
