    SCAM SCAM SCAM!

    Why would a FREE lottery need to know your credit card number?

    I am not sure about this particular lotto but most of these things are scams. If you didn't enter a competition then you cannot win. Do not give them your credit card details.

    It is very unlikely that you will win anything at all, more than likely they will debit thousands from your account.

    Buy a lotto ticket from your local lottery. That way you are more likely to win something and won't get scammed.

    Hello Renas:

    I know that you suspected a scam, and that's why you asked us. Good for you. However, scams aren't very hard to detect. So that you can avoid them in the future, here is what a ALL scams promise - SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

    In the real world, NOBODY get's something for nothing. I know you've been sold a bill of good by the states who run lottery's. SHAME ON THEM. Yes, somebody wins - but millions and millions lose. If you think it's too good to be true, it is. Listen to yourself.

    Shucks, and I was going to use that money the people in Africa were going to send me to buy lotto tickets.

    There are so many scams today, it is getting harder and harder to know what to trust. I know I get several scam emails a day, and normally several of the ones from banks or eBay or some place that is a fake email every week.

    I actually got a real one last week that my credit card was over limit, and ignored it thinking it was fake, well not using that card this week.

    Hello marlene:

    I don't know. I don't work there. I don't think you'll get anything. You'll know for sure, though, when you get the check.

    DON'T send them any money up front for a processing fee or anything!!

    PS> I also wouldn't be posting my phone number on the internet...

    Did you read the other responses in this thread that say SCAM, SCAM, SCAM?

    And its not a good idea to put your phone numer and e-mail address in a public post, That's how you get this type of spam.
