last week I received an email that said that I won a lottery with a value $500.000,00 as for me not all understood whether this including a deception effort or quite true the existence. I checked his email address and his email address was correctly valid. and also i accepted a kind certificate that was somewhat convincing. this site from Australia.... but i could take my prize at Nigeria . . . this was true... or only a deception effort... if you were in my position or had experienced hit what was done . . . Could was trusted by you or you heeded him.....

It is definitely a scam. I receive everyday many emails saying I won a lottery, in fact, if I count the many times I won I will be a billionnaire by now. Believe me this is a classic case of either identity theft or they will ask you a fee of US$ 500 to send you an atm or fee for courier service. When you send the money they will yet give you another reason to send additional money. Therefore, don't be fooled by this lottery winnings.

This is a scam. Somewhere along the line there will be a fee for processing and delivery of your winnings. Anything that comes from Nigeria is a scam. There are no lotteries that pick winners from random email addresses. Please don't fall for this or for the scam where you're sent a money order or check and required to cash it at your bank and send some of the money somewhere. The bank will be contacting you after a week wanting their money back.

Probably more often than I realise, with my spam filter and everything. Occasionally gets through into my inbox, but it doesn't stay there long.
