Re: help me out guys

Read the post titled "Did you win?" posted on 10/18/03.
Did you sign up for any promotional contests or sweepstakes? This should
tell you if the promotional win is valid. Do they request you to send them
any money to file claim before the winnings are released to you? Again, this
will give clue to validity.

Be leery of winning contests that you never signed up for and/or contests
that require you to pay an up front fee to file claim before the winnings
are released to you also, watch out for such promo's that request bank
account numbers to transfer your supposed winnings to.

Email addresses are a dime a dozen and hackers, scammers, and spamers change
them frequently.

Find out the details for collecting your supposed winnings without making
any commitments.

Remember, anything that sounds too good to be true, most likely is.
