Hi guys! I joined a Free lottery online and submitted my entries then they sent me a message saying that I am eligible for a certain price that shows on that email and they are requesting me to verify my PIN. Then when I clicked the link they prompted me to their site. It says there "Declaration of Qualified" with my name and other info but I don't see any link or button where I can verify my PIN which is already stated there... I am confused. Does any one of you experienced this from the site:

your comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
Mitch

Thanks! I am also thinking that the site was a scam coz if I am really eligible and won that price why don't they just send me the information on how to claim and verify my PIN.
There are hundreds or maybe thousands of scam site out there (sigh) but I am still searching for alternative ways to make money online without them asking for any credit card info.

It happened to me a lot before and during those times they even informed me that I won several thousand dollars which is really exciting because I really need money. But I also send them a message on how to claim my prize but they never respond. So I kind of wonder why and maybe it is just a scam because they actually need my personal info and among others.
I also had a friend who receive this kind of letter and she never bother to think about it because she told me that it is a well known scam. And there are people who already fall victim on this. So be careful.

You must be careful, cause almost such things as it on internet is scam. When you open these email to congratulate as you type you have received one million dollars or something great like that, beside you can be involved in viral attachment letter, if you really believe that you can bi lost more than. Not easy to get other people''s money, right?

There are many programs like that on the internet. One has to be very careful with them. Some of those programs will try to get money from, tempting as if you have one some prize, but in fact, nothing. Some times, they say it is free, but in actuality, one has to pay a fee. All kinds of scams !
