WARNING! DO NOT RESPOND TO THE ABOVE PERSON! THEY LOOK FOR PEOPLE ON RIPOFFREPORT WHO HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY ONLINE LOTTERIES, PRETEND THAT THEY ARE A REAL LOTTERY AND TO CONTACT THEM TO GET $, BUT THIS IS A CRIMINAL WHO IS GOING AFTER EASY TARGETS (PEOPLE WHO FELL FOR SCAMS IN THE PAST), ATTEMPTING TO GET THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION, TELL THEM THEY 'WON' AND GET THEM TO SEND A 'FEE'.
'LOTTERY WINNER' EMAILS ARE ALWAYS A SCAM AND YOU WILL END UP GETTING ROBBED. PERIOD.
The criminals behind it will ask you for your personal information (name, address, etc)--often a copy of your license, which they can use to steal your identity. They will say you have won a lottery (usually one you didnt even enter, so how could you have won something you never entered?!), and tell you they will send you a check, which you need to deposit and immediately send back a part (usually via western union or money gram), as a processing or claim fee. The check ends up being fake, and you'll have an overdraft in your account in about 7 days after the bank investigates it (and possible criminal charges for depositing a fake check). By then you will have already sent them $$ which you will never be able to get back.
NEVER, EVER RESPOND TO LOTTERY EMAILS- THEY ARE ALWAYS SCAMS AND MILLIONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THEIR IDENTITY STOLEN AND COLLECTIVELY LOST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. RESEARCH 419 SCAMS FOR MORE INFO.
