Know Spam Mail

Hi buddy there!

I get at least four mails a day in my mail box each claiming I have won a lottery worth million of dollars but I did never get one dollar. I wonder how can I win a lottery that I never bought or participated in? And many I have not even heared of. Such claims come in many disguised forms to cheat the people. Here I'm posting a sample spam mail and warm all never to respond to such mails, never click on the links they provide.

Once I responded such a mail with the details they demanded. In reply they asked me to send them money to get the awards. I told them to deduct the due amount from my prize money they want but they did not. In fact I wanted to check them how long the go with me. They ended up with asking money from me with the intention to cheat the amount I send.

Here you go with the spam:
