Top 10 E-Mail Scams 3

The Come-On
After all those MegaBall tickets and EasyScratches, you finally get that e-mail -- you've won millions!
The Scam
Of course, in order to get the money, you'll need to submit your bank account and credit card information because there's a handling charge. You'll be charged, usually for the handling charges of $75-100 and never get the winnings.
What You Can Do
Carols says: "An e-mail claiming that it's your lucky day most likely actually means the exact opposite. You should never pay to play. It's illegal for a company to require you to buy something or pay a fee in order to win or claim a prize. And real winners pay taxes to the government, not the company purporting to be giving you the 'prize.'"
