    Yes they are all scams. Unless you are getting them from sight you know very well. Always check into it before you do it.

      Yes, unless you have entered a specific competition, or prize draw, they are ALL scams, they are set up to make gullible people who are need some extra cash fall right into their trap.

      Currently the major law enforcement organisations of the world are working to shut these con artists and tricksters down, they are taking many people in.  At some point in the proceedings, they will either use your bank account details fraudulently or they will ask you for some money, why wouldn't you pay a £200 bank charge to get your hands on £20,000, well most people would figure out that it's a con, pay that £200 and you'll never see it or them again, well you might, when they ask for another £200, or more.

      These are scams and cons, you want them not to be, but that doesn't change the truth.

        There is a simple logic to determining whether these are scams or not. Did you play any of the games online, where they could get your e-mail id to intimate you that you are the winner? If you did not, then chances are that these are all scams. There are different ways of determining whether these congratulatory messages are all scams or not. Look at the sender's e-mail id or the subject line. The e-mail ids of the scam messages are easy to make out, as they would be unfamiliar ids. The subject line also usually has some wrongly spelled text, but sometimes these are accurate. So the best bet is to go with the e-mail id check.

        Another way of checking out whether these are hoaxes and scams is to go to a website that has a list of all scam and hoax messages. There you will see all the messages that are hoaxes and circulating on the Internet. You must take these messages seriously and delete them from your computer because replying to them sometimes even opening them can be risky.

        Yes, they are all scams, and don't be fooled. No one gives money just like that, for free.

        Check the emails you get and the names here:

        You should find yourself a decent job, and not expect money from any "lottery".
