Answer #1


First of all you should delete all the emails which say you have won a lottery, because you need to use common mans logic on why would some one be ready to pay you money when you have not invested anything?

In the real life did you ever find someone gifting you lakhs of money, without taking anything from you back except your parents whose property is transferred to you. :)

These all are scams which have to be ignored by everyone and you should even Label these emails as SPAM so they dont arrive again in your inbox.

Do not ever trust on these kinds of emails. But I don’t understand what they want to achieve from these kinds of fake emails? Can any one tell me what they want to achieve from these emails?

There are many idiots who get into these scams and later cry about losing money. The main point is that 90% of these people hide once they loose money because they dont want others to launch on them.

Please delete all these type of email from your account, clean trash also.

Now these people sending such messages also to mobile phones, last week some of my neighbors contacted me to email their details to get money from uk, i told them that this is scam, they said that you are lying and we will go to a cafe and send our details.

These people making lot money by cheating people.
