    If I had a dollar for every $1,000,000.00 I won I'd be rich.

    It's fraud.

    Its a fraud, if you reply they will ask you for some money to pay for the transfer

    The Irish Lottery doesn't email people (nor would anything they write be so grammatically incorrect)

    Plus, contrary to popular belief we can add in this country:
    www.419eater.com

    Plus they have a mans name with a Mrs. (Darren Clarke is a golfer)

    Wow you are sooo lucky..

    Congratulations.

    Make sure you send them your SS#, a copy of your license and a CC copy.

    This way they can collect enough to pay someone at least

    Peace,

    Also, what has this go to do with Adsense? A tenuous link would be that they are both get rich quick schemes but I still think this should be in general chat really.

    Given that the golfer Darren Clarke's wife unfortunately died after a long illness last month this seems to be a particularly nasty version of this longrunning scam.

    There are an unbelievable amount of lottery scams
    They are forever turning up.

    ALL because of the system.
    The poor and the rich.

    Unfortunately I am not rich at all (unless Google take up my massive royalties offer for my TV Adsense IDEA:)))))))))))))))))))

    Then people who may very well want to cheat/rip you off will have your personal information and the next piece of the puzzle to steal your identity or who knows what else.

    Trust me: not worth it; don't do it.
