My husband just received an email with title "Congratulation! You are winning lottery". In the email wrote that my husband email was choosen as the winner of the lottery and it need to be claimed. In the process of the claiming, my husband been asked to pay some money as said to pay the stamp duty and only after payment made the lottery money will be transfered into my husband account bank. Can anybody help to give opinion? or anyone who had experience? Is it true or it just a gambling scam?

Thank you for your advise. Honestly, i also did not know how it was at first until we reach at level when the "incharge" ask for payment. I was doubt, it something strange. I was thinking, if my husband winning as their mentioned, how come my husband need to pay some money to have the money right? It's impossible!

It is so scam and don't listen to that. It is their way of getting people to give something in return. Don't fall for them at all.
