    I keep receiving several emails regarding lucky draw and lottery and they all tell me that I won $350000 and so. Are they scam or real or just spamming?

    Sounds real. If it is in an email its got to be real. I don't think anyone would send out a scam on the Internet. Do You?

    The email that I received tells that I won £350,000 and to claim this amount, they are asking me for the below details:

    (1) FULL NAME
    (2) FULL ADDRESS
    (3) NATIONALITY
    (4) AGE
    (5) OCCUPATION
    (6) WINNING EMAIL
    (7) MOBILE/TELEPHONE NUMBER
    (8) DATE OF WINNING AWARD
    (9) SEX
    (10) TOTAL AMOUNT WON/CATEGORY
    (11) MARITAL STATUS
    (12) BATCH/REF. NUMBERS

    Should I send the details and try?

    Oh come on! :rolleyes: Do you really think it is real? :D

    Of course these are scams. Think about it! Did you enter a lottery? Would they not already have all your information if you really won?

    If you really believe it, please send me you paypal and/or money broker log in information so I can deposit the $25,000 I am trying to give away. :eek:

    I’m getting 4 or 5 messages daily on my e-mails. Most times spam filter catches them, but sometimes I have to erase them manually.

    The best way to give these kind of emails a lovely care: Delete all of them and kiss them goodbye forever...Lol

    Never ever try to expose your real name, IC and other confidential documents to those scammers, or you'll be regretted...
