Sure. You PROBABLY just unknowingly downloaded a TROJAN DOWNLOADER. Very common scam nowdays. All you have to do is go to the site. Don't even have to click anything there.\n\nIncidentally, did you ENTER a LOTTERY? If NOT, then WHY IN HELL would you GO LOOKING at such OBVIOUS CRAP???\n\nSorry. Truth hurts.

Basically, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.\n\nStay away from those things. Most of them are all scams or rip offs. They make $50, and send you a measly $5 reward.\n\nIf you *MUST* know...\n\nwww.rewardbull.com\nhttp://www.ezyrewards.com\nfreepay.com

It is a scam.\nYou cannot have an international lottery as the gambleing laws differ in every country.\nThe scammers say it is "International" so as to cover every country.\nLotterys work like this:\n1)10,000 people pay 1 dollar/euro/pound/yen....etc\nThe lottery company now has 10,000\n\n2) the lottery company holds a draw and gives out 7,000 in winnings (and keeps the profit 3,000)\n\nScams work like this:\n-1)nobody pays money (there is no money to win)\n\n0)a scammer sends out 10,000 spam emails to tell people they have won a lottery they havn't entered.(they pretend they work for real lottery websites)\n\n2)The Scammer asks for your Personal details (be prepared! your inbox is going to be full of emails asking for you personally...and dont get me started on what they are gonna do with your Bank details!)\n\n3)The scammer tells you that you have to pay fees before you can accept the "winnings" (and NO,you cant pay out of the winnings! they dont exist!....silly maga)\n\n4)The scammer manages to con 3 people out of 1000 and gives all his profits to a charity for orphaned goats (he dosn't really...he keeps it ;) )\n\n5)Your inbox gets more mails than help@microsoft.com\nEverything from "You have won anotther sooperdooperlottry" to "CHAN U B A NEXT OF KIN" to "Please join our company,cash our checks,send us the money until your bank realises you are laundering money for us?)\n\nThe moral of the story is...If it sounds too good to be true... It probably is\nSource(s):\n\nwww.fraudwatchers.org\nI spoke to Bill Gates lastnight and he knows nothing about it...honest...I did!\n\nEdit   Delete

They don't appear to be a reputable company in any regard:\n\nPRISM CASINO - Another site I promoted years that was pulled due to poor customer service. They are supposed to be under new direction now, and I was contacted by one of their affiliate managers last year. Since that time, he left and was replaced by a well respected manager from the Casino Coins Group (who also tried to salvage the Grand Banks Group) to deal with their affiliates. She has also now left at this point. I don't know what's going on down there now... not that any of us should care.

Hey! I got the exact same email as you did and tried to look up the powerball international and the financial company as well and didn't come up with any results. My guess is they are fake. I'm not sure if you replied to the email on how to get your $, but I did just to see what would happen.

Hi,\n\nAs the other members are saying, it is a FRAUD used for identity theft and to earn some money.\n\nPlease read the article:\n\n"Lottery scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. Be wary of unsolicited email that informs you that you have won a large sum of money in an international lottery. This is a common Internet scam. There is no lottery and no prize. Those who initiate a dialogue with the scammers by replying to the lottery scam emails will eventually be asked for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with delivery of the supposed "winnings". They may also become the victims of identity theft."\n\nI suggest you to go through the complete article here >http://www.hoax-slayer.com/email-lottery...\n\nI hope this helps.\n\n>>>Naveen Kumar

I'm not waiting now, but I used to until I just gave up.  It is real, but the chances of winning are like 1 in 10 million or something crazy like that.  The chances are so slim that it does seem like a scam, even though it's not.

It's a scam.  Pay no attention to it.\nIf you didn't enter a contest or buy a lottery ticket, how do you expect to win it?

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