Yes.

Generally, people do not go around giving you large sums of money for no reason whatsoever.

If they wanted to give you money, it would be already in your hands.

Bin it.

Absolutely. These type of scams work well on those desperate for money or just greedy. They will have to have your banking information to send a wire or you will need to send them some money for processing and your scammed.


puddleduck
have you entered a sweepstake? I would phone the FSA and ask them who they are? Be wary of phoning the sender and staying on the phone for a long time. Never give any money to any of these people. To be honest I am not sure, I would immediately think its a con, but you never know. Phone the FSA and trading standards people and make sure they are who they say they are. Also there is some watchdog that deals with financial fraud over the net, they will tell you if everyone has got this letter. Not heard of sky link expressIf it is a con, Microsoft wont be happy (you should let them know and maybe they will reward you!) Good luck though I hope it isnt a con.

It doesn't matter what they call themselves ...lotto scammers call themselves anything.

You will reply, and they will refer you to a barrister/transfer department/transfer agent etc.

You will then be asked to make an Advance Fee before you can receive your "winnings"

These thieves WILL be asking you for money. They will say that the
"fees" can't be taken from your "winnings" and must be paid in cash
by you. If you tell them that you do not have the money, they will
tell you to borrow it from your friends and family. Please think about
these things:

1) Have you ever heard of this lottery before you got an email saying
you won?

2) You did not buy a ticket for this lottery. How did you win a lottery
you didn't enter?

3) About 10 million scam emails are sent out EVERY DAY from thieves
trying to trick people into thinking that they have won a lottery.
How likely is it that the one you got is real?

4) It is ILLEGAL for any cash-prize lottery to make you pay a fee
before you can get your prize money in almost every country.

5) Western Union and other money-transfer companies will NOT give
back your money if you send it to these scammers.

Everyone would like to win a
large amount of money, but this is simply a plot to rob you of all
the money you have now. If you send these people money, you will NEVER SEE IT AGAIN.



If the scammers offer you a "loan" to pay the fees, the check or money
order they will send you is fake, even if your bank cashes the check
or tells you that it "cleared"!!!! The bank will find out in a few days or weeks
that the check is fake, and will make you pay all of the money back, even the
money you sent to the scammer. The bank might even have you arrested for
cashing a bad check.


Kafka
Scam all the way.

Yes it is.

Just about any time you find yourself wondering, "Is _________ a scam?"

Then answer is almost guaranteed to be "YES!"

It screams, "SCAM"!


Crispy bacon, eggs and tomatoes!
The words "bargepole and don't touch" come to mind but I may be wrong!

Undoubtedly, it`s probably somebody in an internet cafe in Nigeria. Check with the FSA if you don`t believe me.
