watch out for lottery scam

At first for the time I have received those E-mail that I won some lottery that they were always want us to claim the money that we won but after all the conversation they will ask us for the courier payment of the amount so I was telling them once why not take the payment from the money that I won then for sure I allow them but they said they won't so i just told them to forget my file and i am not interested already so from that time on i learned and I already delete all the files I will received from my spam......without reading it.

ya i had received suck kinda emails many times, i would have been filthy rich if i actually won those,,, nothings comes for free in this world and without hard work and if it does then its scam...

They are always scams and attempts to defraud you. If there is any email you are not sure about (whether it says you have won money on a lottery you didn't enter or offers you to receive money from a Nigerian bank or even tells you to 'forward this warning to your friends') always go to Snopes.com and check it out.

Sometimes I will get in my email. I will just delete it without opening it. I think it is scam. I don't want to open it because maybe it is a virus or hacker email. Therefore I won't open and just delete it.

I get such tyoe of emails every month, in initial stages I use to atract and respond them,but after comming to know the fact I stopped even reading such mails.

I agree most of these lotteries are scam if not all. How can they pay thousandths of dollars to their members?

Fortunately my spam detector picks them up and puts them where they deserve to go, straight into the bin! I dont even read them any more, it is worrying that some people might think they have genuinely won and start giving out their credentials only to be rob blind by these blatant scammers, I cant believe that there isnt a governing body to stop these kind of emails being sent out, they must work otherwise why go to the trouble of spamming? Anyone who receives one should delete it straight away and not give it another thought!

Yup recieve also specially when they said they need your approval, at the end asking your atm number, when i see those kind of mssage in my mail, i delete them without reading.

yeah many times..when i received the first time i give some details thinking it was not but unfortunately it wasnt. ..so since then i was bombarded with emails that i changes my email add now...and relieve that i havent receive any now..

I do the same thing I delete them or mark them as spam. I think it is a big waste of time.

Nope, not for me, but i have heard alot about lottery scams and also how most or everybody being cheated by such scams.. I will never give it a try, because those scammers usually target our weakness, which is greed.. As long as we are tempted by the big sum of money, we will soon forget about whether it's true or not.. By that time, we would have been cheated and the pain we feel will be too late for everything, because of the word, Greed..

Hi sophia yep I have had them also flat screen tv's holidays laptops etc..etc...I just delete them as they are to me rubbish as the lottery or competitions they say I have won I have never participated in so they get deleted...littleowl
