Reply:SCAM! This is a version of what is called an "advance fee" fraud. Essentially, they will try to get personal bank information or will attempt to get you to pay them a fee of some kind in order to get the prize. Read all about scams like these at: http://www.scamorama.com
Reply:I get those every day. They're usually from Africa or England, they're often from a "barrister", the prize is often in pounds (£), and the authors often refer to themselves as "Mr.".





Click "Spam".

Basically they were trying to tell me I won a million euros and I needed to claim it by February 28, 2008 and call their agent and give them my winning numbers EPWL/ 200-020/300





I work for a bank and I see these kinds of things all the time and it is a big time scam, this one in particular is very common. I had it forwarded to my fraud department at work and they said it is out of the Neverlands. Also, never ever ever respond to these emails or call or let them mail you travelers cheques or wire you money because than you have set yourself up for identity theft!





I am someone that deals with these sorts of things on a daily basis where I work so I know how easy it is to become a victim and how many people actually fall for it and lose alot..
