I have received emails from a stranger stating that I have won from an online raffle draw. He did not ask for any amount for me. He said that they had a raffle for existing email addresses. Do you think this is true?

How can we stop from getting this kind of email? Is there any way to ban those addresses? Sorry for my ignorance about this. I hate receiving this kind of emails.

If I added up how many dollars I had one over the last week with these online lotteries that I never even knew existed, I'd be rich...I seem to hit the lottery every day.

Just delete them is my opinion.

Do one thing. Report him as spam. It would stop you from being bothered.

These emails are common.. See the other thread I posted about someone pretending to be from Yahoo Lottery. You should not care about such emails. Always mark it as junk before deleting so you do not receive it again.
