Yes,you have won,please email me now!

OMG Ruby! Yes, I get them all the time, everyday!!! You shouldn't even open them and DON'T WRITE BACK! They are all scams! Just delete them or put them as spam! Never believe any of those things. I can't tell you how many I have gotten and how many I get in one day to each of my email addresses, not just one but both!

But Ruby this is where all the trouble starts,some are led to think that they have won a massive sum of money and then they just start going silly,itys easy enough to see how they can pull the wool over peoples eyes you know.I was watching a tv documentary about it all,the lottery scams and the internet scams and it was gripping,the scammers were based abroad and when the tv crew found out about there little tricks and tried to approach them well all hell was let loose.Its easy to see how people are duped into losing their savings,bad tho innit Rubes.

In previous years, I had been fascinated by all the variations of such emails arriving in my inbox telling me that a fortune awaits me. I had often wished that those stories and accounts were true. Now I am tired of the same old stories. These scammers don't excite me anymore unless they are more innovative and creative, and come out with new variations of their scams that I have not heard of. I wonder if the scammers themselves get scam emails from other fellow scammers ...surely they must have, since these scammers' messages are mass-emailed from their mail servers using mass-mailing application, and that goes out to millions of email users.

Hi ruby..am glad you brought this up before being sucked in..yes there was another mylotters husband who received the exact same email and he didn't even know who on earth this gentleman was but apparently the husband did email this guy back...I have not heard what the result was but do know they never received this new wealth and are still as they were financially before the email they got...this 'gentleman' is a fraudster but how the hell does he get a person's email when he doesn't even know them? thats a big question and also IS he trying to pass on a virus to other computers?..I wouldn't email him anymore you won't get any richer than what you are now lol...littleowl

I think that's the usual scam emails, saying that you won and to claim it email them and give some personal details. I also received these kind of thing almost everyday, but I just report it as spam and not bothered with it particularly if I know that I didn't enter on the contest or how I win that. So be careful with these things, usually, it's their way to scammed people.

Whatever you do, if you ever receive emails like that in the future you should just ignore them! I receive tons of those emails and I just report them as spam! You know the saying "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is!" I assume within that email you had an area at the bottom asking for your personal details? This is bad news! Once you respond to one I can virtually guarantee you that you will become a target! You will be looked upon as the one person that these people can take for a ride! The thing is, you end up financially ruined or worse and they go running into the sunset laughing like hyenas!! Good luck! Andrew

i never allowed myself to fall into those scams and i just ignore those kind of emails... i had received quite a few of them in the past and i just delete it as soon as i read it... i don't even bother to read the whole email... i don't want to waste my time entertaining those spammers... take care and have a nice day...

I get so many of these fake emails, and I have a lot of fun playing with them. If you check out 419eater.com, there are loads of these types of emails, and the guy who runs the site often baits them, sending them on fruitless missions to the WU office and so on. I always ensure I use a fake name, NEVER give out your real address or phone number, and just have fun annoying them!

H[i]i ruby, I got emails like that but I always delete it..I don't entertain such spam! Actually, I have tried entertaining a txt before and I was insulting the guy telling him to withdraw the money for me since I don;t need it anymore and I am sure he needs it badly than I do! hahahaha! I didn't hear from him again![/i]

I get them all the time. I used to just delete them but started to answer them by telling them that I would be contacting the proper authorities to make them aware of this attempted fraud. I'd put email addresses in the "To" box like "fraud@hotmail.com", "fraud@IRS.com", etc. I never heard back from them!

yes, sadly, these scammers hit me up to give me a million dollars every day...sometimes twice a day. you can give the FBI the info. except they want so much detailed information. mostly it's having lost money through a scam. mine usually end up in my spam bucket. sometimes they are quite intricate and detailed. woe is me, they begin....we have a million dollars if only you'd care enough to call us, or write us, or whatever !

Yes, i have received emails like this before. I received one saying i won in the british lottery. I just read it and deleted it right away. I didnt bother emailing him back. These are scams im telling you. Dont believe them. I saw an episode in oprah about different internet scams. This is one of them. I dont know if you've heard of the nigerian email scam. You should also be aware of that.

When ever i get strange emails or mail i usually throw it away or delete it lol hahaha iv gotten simuler mail like that, where someone i dont even know tells me i won something i would think to myself who ever this person is they must think people are really dumb lol hahaha.

Beware the online scams ruby. How could we have won anything online if we didn't even participate in any contests or what not. Also beware, of those who offer you to deposit their money into your account. They will ask you for your personal information, like bank accounts and more. If you choose to respond to these scammers they will create a situation where in the end you are obliged to help them in some way therefore ripping you off of some money big or small. I have been in this situation too you know. First I received an email of some nice people in africa, even with a photo to entice me. Lol. I already knew my place in the world no one offers me anything a humungous amount of money. So I went on to play along and wanting to find out more about how they do it. The second email came quickly, that they have a huge amount of unaccounted money they wanted to transfer to my account. Letter was then signed with a name and not surprisingly an I Love you at the end. Hehehe. Yeah, ok so you love me eh. I must be Tom Cruise. Lol. I got bored and never replied back and of course I marked sender a spammer. Be careful, there are about more than a hundred ways to scam, so they may come in any form they want. A priest, a doctor, missionary, lover, artist, philantropist or heheh maybe an alien. They are betting on our being nice and pure to be entrapped in some deal. I hope this helps. Thanks! Cheers! and happy myLotting!!!

Well obviously it is a scam yea , please don't get trick by prank yea .

yes,i was sent a letter and a check for over 5,000 dollars i took it to the bank they told me it was real check but i had to deposit the check into my account for 10 business days.but first i had to call them and let them no i was depositing the check and when the money would be available not thinking i deposited it into a account that had no money in it but few dollars any way she told me to call her, once i got the money.the check came back by her bank unpaid.cost me 10 dollars return check she ,did not clear the check i should have been thinking then i called her, but she never answered again.the plot was to see did i have the money in the bank so they could cash the check she told me to send that money to her, for fees and that i would receive another 50,000 shortly after she was lying she wanted my money she was going to get me in trouble for that check of over 5,000 dollars a lot people got those checks it is a scam i tell you.so now when they tell me i have won something i trash it.because if i won it bring cash to my door.

It happened. I just left it alone. It didn't make any sence, I guess. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as a free lunch

hi ruby this is nigerian scam you give them details then they send you an email asking for one hundred dollars to pay for some cost of shipping all your loot.so you send the money and you never hear from them again. so delete my dear delete always. delete dont be a sucker.you will never see your money or the half million pounds

I feel so sorry for the people who are not as sensible as you, and really believe these dreadful scammers. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are sucked in - often the people who can least afford to lose anything. It's so sad. I used to reply to the emails and tell them their letter had been put in the hands of the Federal Police - but these days I just delete them straight away as I can't be bothered with them. One of the current affairs programs in Australia actually went after one of these scammers on behalf of a viewer, and caught him in London, where he was arrested. It's one of the few times a current affairs show has actually done anything useful!

i have be treated before,but i didnt belive it.
