Total SCAM!!

I think I have won a Zillion Dollars so far. Numerous governments falling and needing help to get Millions out of the country, I have been the Beneficiary of several Concorde Families on that Ill fated flight. Won Many Lotteries, Coca Cola Lottery(they have no lottery)Used to save them, and add them all up. I stopped a zillion, don't know what I would do with all that money.

I would also suggest, Don't enter contest, unless you like Junk Mail. Plus, You won't win.

Try this, look at the links on the right.

Internet Scams, Identity Theft, and Urban Legends. (http://www.scambusters.org/)

Cannot say it better. It has fraud all over it. If you give them your information they can drain your bank account.

Years ago, I tried to get a Local Bank to set up an Account that can accept money, but not be able to Draw from. They would have to provide info at that point. They would not do it. Not their Job. Called upon a Government Agency(The one that should handle it) to see what they could do. Nothing. We will have to live with these Scams forever at this rate.
I bet if I go to my Email, I bet I won something.

No kidding I just checked email... won some kind of Microsoft lottery! I'm rich finally! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I didn't even read it

It's a absolutely fake and loaded with virus.. Be carefull:)

They will keep coming now.

I received one of these from England with Microsoft and said I had been chosen the winner of the Microsoft yearly contest ,was required to send by email all that junk informatio so they could send me my 97,500 uk lbs. I would have loved to had it ,but I figured that it was some sort of SCAM. I didn't even answer them. I had to call a Microsoft agent here in the us and one in England , sat you bloody ol block , lrts get on the QUEENS GRASS> HA HA HAAAAAAAAAA STAY AWAY:::::: F.B.E.

I receive an email 3days ago, it sez's that I won a huge amount of pound sterling, and the group who sent me this email is calling me from time to time if I already paid my delivery charge, now my question is can you look for me this people, their names are, charles mccoy & larry vincent,thank you and good day to you,

Sir, I forgot to ask if they are legal or not,thanks

It's a scam.
Any random e-mail you receive claiming you have won something is a scam. I'm surprised you gave them your phone number. Tell them that you can catch the red eye and pick it up. Anybody who would give you sterling winnings, would privatley deliver the goods with a secure and bonded delivery. I figure if you gave them your phone number, you also gave them your PO#, address and full name. I would be very careful if I were you.
Its illegal, but catching them is really hard. And getting anyone to even try to catch them is even harder. I have looked into it and found that its commonly people in internet cafes overseas that are contacting you. Often they have people in Canada/US that help them with their schemes, it can get very elaborate. PS... TELL THEM TO SEND IT COLLECT. LOL

sravaneee_239 - i guess that if you gave them any information about your bank account(s), then you had better start watching your account at the bank < talk to the bank about this <he will be able to help and try to stop any unathorized withdrawals from your account< :: hope i have got this to you in time!! Good luck< & god bless :::: f.b.e.

I'll advise you not to bother yourself looking for these people! They're no other people than professional fraudsters trying to dupe you! Be Warned!
