    Just remember this: You cannot win a lottery or other competition unless you have entered it. These are pure scams, nothing more nothing less, and they are designed to prise your personal information from you.

    I get emails telling me I have a faxed scan waiting for me. Which I don't do. So I just delete them.

    Brings to mind the, "If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is." But, the African Prince who was trying to hide his millions in my bank account I thought was a good idea. Too bad I deleted the email.
