Tell me you DID NOT SEND ANY MONEY-PLEASE! This along with all the Nigeria bank presidents and inheritants looking for help getting their fortunes to another country is the hottest thing on the web!!! I get 10-15 a day in my inbox which I SPAM!!! Where have you been? Every e-mail provider on the net warns you of these scams! Word of advice: DON"T OPEN ANY E-MAIL YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SENDER OR YOU WERE NOT EXPECTING!!!!!!! Before your computer gets completly wiped out with a vicious virus- don't open any BANKING E-MAILS that are not your banking institutions! And don't respond to your bank institution telling you to "UPDATE" or anything else requiring you to respond with personal information!!! Banks don't do this kind of thing ONLINE!!! Hopefully this will enlighten you with regards to your e-mail skills! And hopefully you'll have something in your bank account besides memories when all is said and done!!!! WORD FOR THE WISE: NO ONE GIVES ANYTHING OF VALUE AWAY FOR FREE UNLESS IT"S FRAUD OR A CATCH!!! PHILANTHROPIST require certain qualifying criteria for freebies!!!

1. Did you enter a lotto or sweepstakes? 2. Purchasing foreign lotteries are illegal. United States federal law prohibits mailing payments to purchase any ticket, share, or chance in a foreign lottery. (This is from the BBB) 3. The check is fake and if you cash it the bank may be fooled and give you the money. Once it bounces you will be held liable 4. If you are told you must send money for fees or processing it is a scam. Contact the IRS directly about paying taxes for any winnings. 5. If you have to wire transfer money you will never see the money again. 6. These companies continuously change addresses and move. Which makes checking them out ahead of time impossible. 7. You did not win. bbb.org/alerts/article.asp?ID=590
