Because simply stated it's an on line scam. Don't send money, or credit card numbers. Don't send any personal identification data. Delete the email and spam it. |

Turn the letter over to your local police. it's a fraud, and you will never see your money again.
Also contact your better business bureau and the Attorney General's office and report it |

Do Not Pay, it is a scam, please do not be drawn in and send money thinking you will receive a big payout cos you won't. Burn the letter, or report it to your local Consumer Advice. |

Don't pay them anything. It's a scam. If you have actually won something you don't send money to anyone. Always see this as a red flag of scam artists if they ask you for money. |

I had to go through and check most of the answers as a good answer - they are right! - it is a scam and don't send off your money - you will never see it again - or your 'prize'.
You will probably find that you have an address outside of the UK to send the cheque back to - what does that suggest? If the address is within the UK it is worth taking it to the police for investigation, though!
Bin the notification and be happy that you have actually saved yourself money! |

ok, look at it this way. would you pay a shop to be allowed to go in a look at what you wanted to buy. i think not.
if you are stupid enough to do so then send them the moeny, but if you are a reasonable, sane human being, take the hint. SCAM SCAM SCAM !!!!!!! |

If you have an address, send them a small parcel with a turd in it - they won't bother you again!
Oh, and they won't go to the police either otherwise the cops will know what they are up to.
And you will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have opened the smelliest parcel they will ever receive (Not to mention that it lets them know what you think of them!) |

This is a very common scam. If you don't remember signing up to enter a contest, then you can be 99.9% sure it's fake. I work at a bank and see these kinds of scams often. If you send money for a "processing fee" or whatnot, you'll never see that money again. Another trick scammers use is to send you a cashiers check for more than the award amount and ask you to send them a percentage back to them. The thing is, the check is fraudulent, so once it's processed, those funds are backed off your account, potentially causing you to overdraft...big time.
Take the letter to your local police department and let them handle this. Just DON'T SEND ANY MONEY! |
