1)I've got a mail that i'd won 1 million British pound in the microsoft lottery condducted with Bill gates.i searched google suddenly and got the scam.They'll ask you to submit your addy and phone to claim price money.DOn't fell in there trap!!!!!!

2)Secondly last sunday i've got a mail that i'd won 400 USD in the reward program of No-minimum.i've account with no-minimum,so that i clicked the link at once i recived.They invited me to a page where i was asked to sent 10 $ via egold.Luckily i didn't have gold at that moment.i searched a bit for gold at DP.After that i got mail from no-minimum about the scam.

So guys plz aware about this fraudulent scams and protect your money!!

Golden rule: If it's an email telling you won money, it's a scam.

Wow, I must be getting old, I could'of swore that I posted a reply here. Anyway, yeah be careful with these types of emails and especially from Ebay or paypal telling you that you need to submit your personal information ect..Most of the time it's best not to even open them because some of them contain different types of trojan viruses and spyware ect....and you may make a mistake and click one of the links..

By my count I've won at least $200 Million through email lotteries, and another $500 Million from daughters of African presidents who have died off.

I got a similar email a few days ago and decided to google the guys name. SOB if it didn't lead me to a blog posting the exact same crap(word for word)

Appears this guy is fed up with these emails and starting to blog them so others can see they are not the only ones winning huge amounts of funny money.
