Is this a email scam?
Scam... please delete this E-Mail.





After you send them the information they will either:





A) Ask you to send them money via western union to pay for fees to release your "winnings" (in which case the money you send will be forever gone and of course you are not receiving a large amount of money in return).





B) They will be asking for very personal information like your name, birth date and social security number - then they will steal your identity and rack up a lot of debt in your name...





You are 13 and of course you did not enter into a Lottery Drawing since you are not of age, right?





This is a very common scam and if you want to educate yourself run a Google search on Lottery Scams and Pyramid Schemes.


Read... and you will soon see where this Lottery Prize Scheme is going.
Reply:Weird I got an email kinda like that too. I think it said I won a million dollars from the Shell gas company. I believe its a scam. Just delete it and forget about it. Scammers these days...
Reply:Ok you're 13 so. I'll keep the vitriol minimal. However, word to the wise, Guy.





You had better start getting used to the many bitter disappointments in life.


1. Any stranger that offers to send you free money over the internet will eventually ask you to send him free money first, or ask you to remove articles of clothing in front of a web cam.


2 whenever you are solicited via email by a member of the British plutocracy, reread the email. If its chock full of spelling mistakes, discard it.
