Has anyone received an e-mail from the UK stating that you've won money in a lotto that entered your e-mail?

They ask you to fill out a form, and they will send you the money? They don't ask for credit cards or social security. They ask for address, name...

    I have received plenty of these! Don't fill any of it out. Just because they don't want your ss # or credit card doesn't mean they can't find out. There are too many places on the net that they can find out all the information about you just by using your name and date of birth. Mark it as spam!
