Scammers

[Unregistered]

I am from Portugal and I received three emails last week congratulating me to be a winner of a large amount of money. As I do not use to gamble I had my doubts and asked for some information but I did not give mine neither payed nothing to them.
The 3rd one even has a link that take you to a website where you can confirm the numbers they sent in the email.
I do have to write CONGRATULATION!!! we are the most.

Hello Maria,

Welcome to FraudWatchers.

You have every right to be cautious and suspicious. Any email that you get in your inbox that says you have won a lottery (that you never entered), is a scam.

Well done for spotting it. There are many variations of lottery frauds on the internet, and many will have links to real lottery websites to attempt to convince people that they have won, but if you never entered the lottery, you could never win it.

You will find some examples of these lotto/lotteries in our letters forum: [here (http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39)]
