This is what I call a scam


I just receive an email this morning saying that I won more than $2 million. The funny thing is I never joined any contest wherein I would win that amount. As the title already implies this is a also a scam. This is not the first time that I have received such email. I remember when I was just starting out on my online endeavor that I got the same email wherein I won $15 million from a lottery that I have played. When I got into the site it said that I have to give my credit card number. Since I don’t have any credit card I can’t get the prize. They have sent me another email saying that if I don’t claim my prize then they would forfeit the prize money. I never did claim it and they keep on sending the same email which always falls into my spam folder.

I think of sharing the email that I got just now so that you wouldn’t fell for that same trick.
