pls check whether it is fraud or not

If a total stranger promises you millions of dollars or euros out of the blue, it's probably a fraud. Consider these points:

Have you ever heard of the company? Do a Google search for the name of the claims agent or lottery company. In most cases you will find many fraudulent mails that people have received and published to warn others.
1.Even if the name of the lottery doesn't come up, search for a few phrases. Most lottery scams use recycled texts. In many cases even the "winning numbers" stay the same for draws on different dates.
2.What email address did this arrive from? Is it a webmail service like netscape.net, tiscali.co.uk, tiscali.fr, atlas.cz, winning.com, zwallet.com, etc.? Real companies generally have their own corporate domains and real websites.
3.What email address was it addressed to? In many fraud mail cases, the recipient address is suppressed ("None") or it matches the sender address or a close variation thereof.
4.Email is too unreliable to notify prize winners. Real lotteries don't use email to notify winners. Either they have to come forward on their own or they are notified by registered mail.
5.Do the spelling and grammar in the mail you received look like legitimate business mail?
6.Does the email give a postal address and phone number for the lottery company, or if you are told to contact a handling agent, for the agent?
7.Does the email mention a "mix up of some numbers and names" and ask you to "keep your Winning information confidential until your claims have been processed"?
8.Are any phone numbers listed mobile phone numbers (such as 0031-6 for Dutch mobile phones or +234 80 for Nigerian mobile phones)?
9.Real lottery companies don't charge you 550 euros or more for paperwork to receive your winnings. Fake lotteries do, and then don't deliver any winnings...

no! i win a lottery i didnt enter about once a week its great im rolling in cash!!!.......

Yes it is fake!!! do not reply

Ask them to send a retainer of $ 1000 for a start. Don't give any of your personal info.

Stay away it is fraud.

Fraud. Especially if you never entered. Also, don't help some widow from Nigeria move millions out of the country.

Check these things out at www.snopes.com. If it is a new one, you can email it to them.

These things are so tempting they make millions off people.
