claiming that I won 900000 Euros. The letter has the vice president signature and a stamp. The problem is that the letter has a general statement about the prize; in other words, it is not directied to me. My name and address are only mentioned on the cover of the letter, but the inside letter doesnt conatin ( Dear Mr. Badwin ) . I called the the manager who asked me to come to Spain to collect the prize but I told him I prefer bank transfer coz I heard about many stories where people went to Nigeria to collect their claimed prizes and never came back! ) .So wat’s this letter?

And you opened it and read it, and believed it and called the scammers, who invited you to come to Spain and collect your prize. Now we can all get up off the floor where we fell down laughing. And what other personal information were you dumb enough to give them? Your bank account? Your social security number or other identifying information? Prepare yourself to be the victim of identify theft.
Holy hammers – this is the longest running scam on the internet today, and you fell for it. The email letter was spam, and had you just put it in spam, none of this would have happened. Notify your bank to expect attempts to empty your account. Stop your credit cards, if you have any, and if you gave them that information.

Please click on the link. Here is a exert from the article
“Joaquin Ligero, a 56-year-old driver, and Vito Marquez, a 42-year-old trash collector, shared a ticket and won second-prize money of $600,000 Sunday in a sweepstakes known as the Euromillions, the newspaper El Mundo reported.
They had been sharing lottery tickets and soccer bets for more than a decade.
Their stroke of luck came a day after they and some 80 colleagues ended a five-day strike that left 700 tons of garbage rotting in the hot streets of Almunecar, a southern beach town of 24,000 that sees of its population quintuple in summer.”
Good luck!!!
