I received a message that I have won money, and the satellite software email lottery to conduct million, if the e-mail address is randomly selected by software running on the Internet.
Has anyone heard of this system before, has anyone ever won before

October 16, 2009 at 5:00 pmNo. This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for information on scams incuding the famous Yahoo lottery scam and how to report them.http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lo…
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. Just 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.

October 16, 2009 at 6:08 pmMost likely this is a scam. They will probably ask for your credit card information when you try to receive your “prize”.
