Any lottery or other contest that claims you have to pay a fee to collect our "winnings" is a scam. Don't fall for it!

"The first letter came from Virgin Lottery Inc., requesting that Veal call a 416 area code number to "confirm everything we have on file." In addition, the letter explains that "prize winnings are released as soon as your Clearance Fee is deducted ... a calculated amount ... required by Federal and International law."""
