Re: Sweepstakes scam

No no no!! Its not a scam.... Its straight up....

You really did win £4.5M on a sweepstake you didn't buy a ticket for!!

Some of these look so realistic but you have to stop and think about it before opening anything these days.

I've had a few emails recently that tell me they've had trouble delivering my package and ask me to click on a link - DON'T DO IT!!

Just for my curiosity, has anyone actually clicked on any of these, without thinking??

If so, what happened??














And..... Just in case...... Has anyone sent me a package??

Re: Sweepstakes scam

Always remember: If it sounds to good to be true, it usually is.

And yes, it's a scam!
