At least a quite of you might have received e-mails with the above title in your inbox or in the spam messages. Don’t get deceived in these astonishing offers.
They may say that you have won millions or trillions of dollars or pounds through automated computer ballot. If they found that you are responding they will send forms as if to transfer the whole money which they say you have won, from their bank to your bank. And in the process they ask for $2000 or $3000 for transaction charges.
Here the real game lies. If you send what they have asked for, you will never again receive mails or the transferred money to your accounts or even a sand of them. Only weight of your purse gets reduced.
Now something personal, I used to receive and still receiving 3-4 mails a day saying that I have won $80000 &75000 U.S dollars by this same process.
See one of the mail which I received saying that I have won $2500000.

See how craftily they have mailed me. No matter somebody will fall in their words.
I have not given permissions to use my e-mail in any draws. If am winning 3-4 lotto draws that too in same day itself, who I will be? Yet another Bill Gates?
These are the recent trends of deceiving common people. We all need money. These culprits are utilizing human’s neediness. Many may fall in their pits. Their way of approaching is in that way. So beware of these really fake mails and don’t fall in their pits. And always remember “No pain no gain”.
