hello mylot lovers and my friends, i love surfing on internet and i love finding new and interesting sites on internet,but i have never seen an annoying advertisement like this before i think many of you also saw this annoying and meaningless (congratulations you won bla bla)message before. every time that i load the page this advertisement comes and there is no way to stop this. there is an info which is so important ,i wanna read but this advertisement never allows me, and this advertisement is so tricky because most of them say you won 1.000.000 dolars or something like that;) we must be silly to click that button i think,why they wanna give us that money, so strange what are your opinions about advertisements like this and the other noisy and annoying advertisement? please share your opinions with me..

simply ignore it, internet is full of trash, so you just need not to pay any attention to it and enjoy the life you know (I hope) :D

Definitely a scam but get some help to stop this pop up as it is so annoying. It has happened to me in the past and I had to seek help to get rid of it but I am sorry as I cannot remember what I had to do to stop it. My blood pressure would rise as each time I logged on then ths stupid thing popped up. So incredibly annoying

Well, some years ago my husband and I had this exeperience. That was the first time we were told to have won that million dollars! We gave it a try and found that they are asking a lot of personal informations and even some upfront payment to get in. By then, we reliazed that we are being scammed and from then on we are very careful not to be lured by it again.

Hi emily7339, wow...that is dangerous. I hope your husband and you didn't get scammed and having money cheated by these irresponsible people. Do take care, as scam cases are going wild nowadays and even more widely spread. Although much news are aired to notify the public and telling people to beware of scam cases, but still there are many people being scam. Sigh...Hope we are not one of those, besides, money doesn't comes freely and nothing is free in this world to suddenly win such a huge sum of money.

Yes, you are right. We took a step back when they asked for money. So, we escaped being scammed. Glad for that!

It is very important to identify internet scams these days. We all want to earn money online. Facebook too has a lot of scams, especially those that offers gadget giveaways. I've seen a lot of fake gadget giveaways on Facebook just so that these Pages get more likes. Lesson? Research and use common sense.

I think this can often be the most annoying thing there is. It would be nice if there was a way SPAMMERS and SCAMMERS would quit attracting attention like this. To me, this is one of the most annoying things people can do, and it would be nice if there was a permanent way to block these.

Hi ! I find that a silly thing , nothing truth on it , it is a scam ! Just making us eat the bait they are giving . It is for personal interest only but truth is i didn't win. I often received mail telling me that i won 1 million , sometimes i just ignored it and sometimes i respond by telling them that i will give it all to the charity so they will stop sending me mail. We must be smart dealing this !
