thunderball draw results:Don't fall for a Lotto Scam

Everyday thousands of people receive emails telling them they have won a prize. Many claim that the reader has won a prize from some lottery. Sometime it's a name of a fake charity "The Loving Life Lottery" or more often there is reference to a real lottery game as a "Hot Lotto" or "Powerball". These criminals even add links to the winning numbers on site like www.alvicoletto.net to help confuse the reader that AllLotto is not only sending the email, but is responsible for your winning. Unfortunately, none of what you read in that email is true, there is no lottery, there are no prizes and most importantly there is never any cost for cashing in a real lottery prize.
If someone asks you to pay for a prize, it is not a prize, it's a scam and don't give them your money.

Let's be realistic here: How did you win a prize in a Lottery which you did not enter? How did the state lottery, which sells tickets, anonymously via convenience and grocery stores find your email? But most importantly, how is it that the lottery is expecting you to pay to get your prize? Taxes are taken out from the prize, not paid before the prize is awarded.

If you get a letter like this, it's a SCAM - don't answer!
