Is it real or a scam ?


On 10th of April , I received an e-mail message sent by Carol Sweet using the Austaralian Lottery Inc informing me that my e-mail won 4OO,ooo,oo four hundred thousand Dollars , but I have to claim through a Nigerian Agent office named Williams Frank because there's no representative for me in Europe. I contacted this agent through a message and he asked me to fill in informations and i sent him without official documents. Next, an other e-mail from first bank in Plc Ninubu Square in Lagos contains Two Faxes and telephone number and signed by Dr Jone Williams as the director . He said that the International Lottery of Australia has sent him the form of winning and approval to transfer if I send an amount of 480 Dollars as fees and I didn't do. I want from The real Lottery of Australia to give the answer with the help of friends all over the world in order to free ourselves from scamming. Thanks a lot.

This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them - (with links to your own country). There is also some excellent advice on what steps to take to achieve a spam free inbox :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

It's a scam. Didn't you see the Oprah show when they talked about people from other countries sending these e-mails stating you have won the lottery or they need you to cash a money order for them or send them one? NEVER fall for those traps!

It's a scam. Think about it. Do you even live in Australia? Did you even enter a lottery? Everything out of Nigeria is a scam!
