AM I LINDA THOMAS ON THE PERSON THAT WON $98MILLION + $24BILLION +MU TELL ME IOYRE CAN F PCHsweepstakes IS EVER GOING TO COME AND PAY ME?

Are you nuts? Nobody is giving away 24Billion!
Are you paying fees to get your prize?

Here's from the REAL PCH sweepstakes website:

Recently we've been hearing reports that scammers are accessing and using the names of our real PCH employees in their criminal attempts to deceive you.Names you've come to know and recognize such as Dave Sayer, Todd Sloane and Danielle Lam - all real members of our famous PCH Prize Patrol.Even the name of Deborah Holland, our Executive Vice President whose name appears in PCH promotional mailers, has been hijacked and illegally used by scammers.
If you are ever contacted by someone claiming to represent PCH, or claiming to be one of our employees, and asked to send or wire money (for any reason whatsoever, including taxes); or send a pre-paid gift card or Green Dot Moneypak card in order to claim a sweepstakes prize - DON'T!It's a SCAM. If you are sent a check, told it's a partial prize award, and asked to cash it and send a portion back to claim the full prize award, DON'T.The check is fake, but the SCAM is real!

I tried a link to PCH Sweepstakes F R A U D protection page, but for some #$*@%! reason the word F R A U D was turned into ***** by the Fixya site.

Go here and click on Read More button under F r a u d protection.

Does GOOGLE have Gmail 2010 network promotional LOTTERY ? In Johannesberg , South Africa ? Please confirm ?

ITS A SCAM BY A GROUP OF MOTHER ******* BEAWARE OF THIS EMAIL FRAUD
Lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins with an
unexpected email notification that "You have won!" a large sum of
money in a lottery. The recipient of the message - the target of the
scam - is usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in
some of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent." After
contacting the agent, the target of the scam will be asked to pay
"processing fees" or "transfer charges" so that the winnings can be
distributed, but will never receive any lottery payment.[1] Many email
lottery scams use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or
other legitimate corporations/companies, but this does not mean the
legitimate organizations are in any way involved with the scams.

There are several ways to recognize a fake lottery email:

Unless someone has bought a ticket, they cannot have won a prize.
There are no such things as "email" draws or any other lottery where
"no tickets were sold". This is simply another invention by the
scammer to make the victim believe that they have won.
The scammer will ask the victim to pay a fee before they can receive
their prize. It is illegal for a real lottery to charge any sort of
fee. It does not matter what they say this fee is for (courier
charges, bank charges, various imaginary certificates - these are all
made up by the scammer to get money out of their victim). All real
lotteries subtract any fee and tax from the prize.
Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email accounts
such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Gmail etc.

I'm Ganesh from India, from MSNyahoolottery on date :31-01-2010 to my email id : [email protected] ( The Msn/Yahoo Lottery Incorporation PO Box 1010,Liverpool L70 1NL,United Kingdom....

Mr ganesh,

This type of emails are sent only for gathering information regarding persons like their contact number and all so that they can segregate many contacts and sell it to companies for promoting their products. In few cases it has also been observed that they ask you to pay insurance on receipt of a parcel upto 500$ and when you open the parcel it contains nothing and you loose your money. So kindly don't fall for this. I personally receive around 10 such emails daily.

Is this a real winning or is it a scam?

Beware! Its a scam. Do NOT give out any personal information. If you do, they (the senders) will probably ask you to deposit a small fee so they can send you the prize money. After receiving your cash they will move away!
Just send this email to your spam folder.
Just for your information, I also received one of these.
Thank you.
