    RE: prize delivery options
    I've been receiving mails from freelotto sweepstakes site asking me to claim some prizes. I don't have any active credit card and I prefer to collect the prize via cheque. Which is the most and secure mean of collecting their prizes?

    These are scams. I get several in my spam folder every week. Just delete them. There's no money. They just want your credit card number.

    It's a scam. They aren't going to give you money, they want to take your money.

    You are lucky you do not have a credit card, had you given them that number, they would not have YOUR money. As the others have said, this is not real, you never bought a ticket, you never got into it, There is no free money just given out.

    Good grief... the things people will fall for in the name of greed.

    Common sense dictates people don't just GIVE large amounts of money or stuff away to strangers. They know this deep down and yet they fall for this over and over again. And the fact they are asking for money up front should be all they need to to know it's a scam.

    You know that old saying, a fool and their money are soon parted. You got lucky this time... if you did have a credit card you would have less money now than you had before. And you would not get it back.
