I got an e-mail from The Free Lottery Sweepstakes. What should I do?

I would normally delete it right away but this guys gave me their address and full names which is kind of strange. I don't know. Any advice would be appreciated.

Next they will ask you to send a "handling" or "processing fee" so they can send you your money. Tell them they can keep a thousand for themselves if they will just pay the fee for you, and take it out of your "winnings", along with the cost of sending the balance round to your house in cash, in a big sack, in a taxi-cab...
Reply:Delete, delete, delete.





Anybody can say....





"Hi. I'm Jonathan Krider with the Free Lottery. Our address is 8124 Jergins St., Chicago, IL."





Names and addresses can be made up pretty darn easily!
Reply:SPAM IT
Reply:I highly recommend delete it. Even if it seems legit, nowadays, people can make anything appear legit. It's your money...don't waste it with some scam.
Reply:report it as spam.....yahoo will take care of it....its just a scam...I have also gotten several of these, they just want your$$$$$
Reply:Delete it. Has to be a scam.
Reply:It is a scam. Do not make any payment or hand over any personal information. Simply delete it and forget about it.
Reply:Don't open it or you will lots of other unwanted e-mails DELETE IT
Reply:I would delete it. I've received a couple of those in different forms, one said I was chosen by a prince somewhere to recieve inheritance money, another one said I won the lottery they're just scams, and the goal of the people behind them is to get your bank account # and steal your identity. SPAM it!
