You Have Won US$1,320,000.00
Ooooooo – look – I’ve won lots of money on a lottery I didn’t enter. Does that sound likely???? No, of course it doesn’t. You cannot win a lottery that you haven’t entered.
This is a scammer who is after your cash. My online alter ego has replied, so I’ll let you know if s/he tells how much money I have to send in order to receive my (non existent) winnings.

Citibank were quick to reply. They’ve offered me 3 options. I’m going to give them fake details for option 1 – direct transfer. I probably won’t get much further as I have no intention of giving them any genuine details.
I used a fake passport I found using google and just edited my fake name onto it.

He contacted me also a couple of days ago then sends me a copy of my check via email. He says I have to pay a fee for hand delivery and bank deposit fee if I want direct deposit. I chose option 2 to get it mailed, but he was like it’s hand delivered with a fee. I am not going to pay for so call free money.
