I received this kind of email 4yrs. ago and up to now they are still on it. I wonder how much money they are making for cheating on people like this. Tsk! Thats why I'm blogging this out to warn you.
How they are doing it?
First of course, they will send you this notification to ask you to send them your personal infos like name, address and contact number.
PLS. Don't!
Their goal is to ask you some $$$ to process and fund transfer the mentioned winning amount to your account. Or some will ask you to deposit any amount in their bank account just to prove you're the right person qualified for the prize. Then, they will request you to transfer an amount like maybe $500-$1000 on their account. Of course, if you are stupid, you will say "what's $1000 when I will have $4million . Rofl!
At first it makes you feel excited thinking about the $$$ but as the communication prolongs, the next conversion would become such a drag. Lolx!
I am sharing this based on my experience. If you ever receive an email like this and still have doubts,it is better that you ask around first or investigate.
How can you win a lotto when you didn't even buy the tickets.
Lolx!
Pls. read the email below.
