I am sorry to advise you it is a scam. Ask yourself. Did you buy a ticket, do you have a proof that you have a ticket with winning number? When did you go to South Africa to buy a ticket?? And they would have called you.\n\nIf you just got an email.. and they write back for more info from you.. you know you on a way to be robbed. DO NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS> No one knows who wins a LOTTO till the person with a ticket goes to the LOTTO themselves.

It is probably a scam.  DON'T give out any bank information.  DON'T pay anyone anything to get a "prize".  You can contact the people who notified you to investigate further, but BE VERY CAREFUL.  People use things like this to cheat people out of their hard-earned money.

Sounds like someone running a scam.  They offer you a % of a multi-million dollar amount?  Delete the e-mail, record it as spam and go on about your business.

It sounds like an email that you received which is a scam. You should only play the lottery if you are in the UK and you buy a lottery ticket.\n\nPaying charges is definitely a no no!\n\nIf you get emails asking you to send money, ignore all of them.\n\nTo check, pick out some of the key words or phrases in the email and search google. Then you will have a better idea who else is getting the same email and whether it's a scam

Sounds like something from a SCAM letter. I used to get them but when I started sending them to the Federal Government they stop coming.

These types of Scams are definitely on the increase.   I get between 4 to 6 of these "Phishing" letters a day , telling me that I have won a lottery that I have not entered or I am a long the lost relative of a deceased Millionaire or because I am such a trustworthy person I am being offered to "represent" a company.   All I have to do is give them my bank account numbers and passwords and they will deposit money in my account.  WOW!\nThe bottom line is; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.  \nIf a so called bank asks you to "confirm" your account numbers, passwords, SSI or SIN "for security reasons", its a scam.   Your bank would never email you, they would phone you directly if there is a problem with your account.  I recently had a phishing email from someone who claimed to be from my bank.  The email was pretty convincing but I recognized it as a Phishing attempt and reported it to my ISP provider. \nNEVER GIVE OUT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBERS, PASSWORDS OR SSI/SIN TO ANYONE, ESPECIALLY WHILE ON THE NET.

It's a scam. Especially if it is from an e-mail on the internet and it is a foreign lottery.

You would need to provide more information if you want an answer ... like the name of the bank or anything specific?\n\nAnyway, it sounds like a scam, especially if the notice came by email.  Unless you entered a lottery, you didn't win one.  \n\nCall the bank and ask them.  Just don't give out any personal information unless you really know who you are talking to and dealing with.

It's a scam!  I received the same letter.  Mark it as spam and delete it.

I couldn't find anything on it.\n\nIf you seriously won a large sum of money, your notification wouldn't come by e-mail.

They want  you to send them money so they can send you what they say you won. FAKE don't buy into it.

You should NOT have any expenses in a 'free sweepstakes.' You are getting SCAMMED friend!

It's a scam to get your personal information from you.  If you respond, there will start asking for your bank account information, etc.  They might ask for a "processing fee" to get the money to you.  It is a total scam.  Thing about it for a minute:  did you enter any foreign lotteries?  Probably not.  I get about about a dozen of these emails per week and they all go into my spam folder.

Hi I have just received an e-mail today from Scoop Lotto\nstating that an e-mail address drawing was done and that \nI have won a large amount of money. No they did not ask for a bank account I have not answered them yet and I also have been searching for the company My gut feeling is that it is a scam.
