Whats with all these lottery jackpots I keep winning ?

Question

Yesterday alone I won two. $500.000 from some strange place, and 950.000 stearling pounds from another country I have never heard of...If a person has the time should they check this stuff out? Just a scam right? Do you get these things to?

Answer 2

Forget about all the jackpots - I get better offers than that like from the widow of some African country who is trying to get 50 or 100 million out of the country and of all the people in the world has picked me to help her and I get 10 or 20 million out of it and all I have to do is send her my personal info including my bank account numbers and such. What a deal! I think I`ve been offered billions of dollars from these deals. There`s also the job scam where they want me to represent them in the U.S. and I don`t even live there :) There`s a bunch of others but if someone is offering you money by email and especially if they don`t know your name, and even more funny, it`s sent bulk or to another or undisclosed recipients then just delete and block the thing or you will be plenty sorry ;)

If i really won every prize that poped up on my computer i would have retired years ago!! Yes it is all scams and usually they will give you lots of fancy info that sounds legit but then will ask you to pay some sort of handling fee or processing fee usually a couple hundred you pay it they keep it and you get nothing been going on forever but it is really hard to track down and prosecute people over the internet.. some of them are viruses too so be careful i don't open anything that says you WON!! its all a bunch of bs

Them telling you you have won is one thing. How much have they sent you. I'll give you a 100-1 it's zero. It's a scam.
