Dont correspond with them…hit the DELETE button as fast as you can. These crooks will ask for your bank acct info….and the next thing you know they will have wiped it out and you will not be able to ANYTHING. Most of these crooks operate from places like Africa and they will not face any consequences for thier action.
Don’t believe it. If you Google your winning number, I bet you’ll find others who “won” with the same number. Also, if you’re in the USA, it’s illegal to participate in an international lottery.
Sorry friend but there is no Microsoft, Yahoo or other e-mail lottery, it’s a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information………
.Also If you go to the following site you will get some info on ID theft the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful
No, as everyone says, they want your personal information, don’t give them any personal information..If you did win this money, and they have your email, don’t you think they would have your home address too? I use to get those and still do, but they go to my MSN account and I just report them as unsafe..

2. That is nothing but an outright scam. Don’t believe the hype. Never give the phishers any of your personal information at all costs, no matter how tempting the “bogus” lottery is worth. Just turn around and get that message spammed straight into oblivion right away. Keep in mind this is never the way you’ll win the lottery unless you’ve paid some money to play in it.
