Lottery scams 2:41pm on 26 Feb 2009 I fully understand and agree with John re lottery scams .However I would like to tell you of my experience .
I received a signed for package from USA in 2008 which contained a letter stating that I had won a $1000 on the 2006 International Opinion Sweepstakes . As I was aware of such scams I gave it a lot of thought and advice from relatives but decided to respond as there was no financial links .I sent them an email containing questions about finance ,who they were and why a 2006 lottery .They answered all the questions including the reason for the delay . They said that they had difficulty contacting me and could not close their books util payout .I accepted the reasons and replied tongue in cheek not expecting to hear anything more.Six weeks later I received a cheque for £536 ($1000)which has been cashed .The moral of the story is to question the company but not give anything away .
