I received a letter in the mail addressed to me. When opened it had my husbands name on it. I was immediately suspicious as my husband passed away 6 months ago. I didn't think much of the letter and didn't do anything with it. A few days later I received another letter just like it but it was addressed to my husband.
My roommates decided to look online to see if we can find out anything about this "Lottery" and came across the information that told us it was a scam. The Letter it showed online matched mine exactly, and the addresses and the lottery amount were identical.
We looked a little more and found the forms to report this company as a scam. I didn't get scammed, I got smart and checked it out first. If more people would check out these things before acting on them less people would be scammed each year. KNOW what your replying to and KNOW EXACTLY who your giving your personal or banking info to. If your unsure about it, do what I did. Check it out online first. Save yourself the headache and the trouble and protect yourself.

This is a variation of Advanced Fee Fraud, it is perpetrated via the mail system instead of email. I am a fraud victim advocate, the best advice that I can give to anyone receiving such communication no matter how it is presented to you is this. Think logically...... who in this world would EVER give you millions of dollars for nothing? Have you entered a sweepstakes in another country? is it legal to enter a sweepstakes in another country?. They just happened to have your contact information and want your bank acocunt information that is the bottom line. Please Please throw such letters away they arent worth the paper they are written on and the person sending it is lower than a flea on the food chain. Scammers have no conscience and take no mercy DONT fall victim!
