You'll get many emails claiming that you have won a million dollar lottery and you have to send some bucks as a processing fees. Never fall for it because it is fake and can never happen because you never participated in a lottery.

I receive many of those, not only lottery but someone who died in a plane crash nominated me for their property of 5 million us dollars. Why on earth he would nominate me for his that big property when I even don't know him.

Has anyone ever read Scott Adams' "The Way of the Weasel"? There is a section in that book that he talks about email scams like that.. It's hilarious.

I receive number of those. Even a friend fell for it. He phoned the numbers provided in email and next time he was charged a lot in phone bill. They were actually pay by phone type of phone numbers. Its really tricky tactic by scammers.

I have also heard of such scams. One of my friend was also duped into this kind of lottery scams.
