uhm yea because it perpetuates the fraud, the person(s) claiming to have won (oh yes, inlcuding yourself) are likely part of the whole operation. I received a text from an email address stating that I had won some huge "grand prize". I work for an international bank and see this type of SCAM several times a day. Bottom line, if you did not register for any type of lottery or contest, then how can you possibly win??? SCAM SCAM SCAM
This company sent me an email with a letter attached. The letter head even looks fake. The email said that I won a million dollars and all I had to do was fax my photo I'd to the number. The letter instructed me to keep quiet until they have verified my winnings. Scam is all I can say.
