1. This is a scam. Do not answer it. Delete it. You NEVER have to send money when you win a legitimate contest. You can never win a contest you did not enter. SCAM - SCAM - SCAM
2. Hello..its a Scam..The way it works is..the tell you that you won some money..but you need to send them a processing fee..to receive the money..after the fee is sent..then thats the last you hear from them.
3. I have also received this e-mail. I'd love the money, but the question is where do i go to from now???? I have skype, and I am active. Do i contact them with a few questions or what?? it could very well be a scam, but if its not Im gonna lose out.
