Hey! I got the exact same email as you did and tried to look up the powerball international and the financial company as well and didn't come up with any results. My guess is they are fake. I'm not sure if you replied to the email on how to get your $, but I did just to see what would happen.

No way! My husband received a sweepstake letter from US sweepstakes about a large cash prize. He told them to take the $20 out of his winnings and mail the rest... The W-915 form looked very real but it wasn't. Bottom line- research company before sending anything and just be careful to what you respond to...hope this helps

I also receive such mail usually from overseas. You can call your local law enforcement and they will tell you where to report this. They are very familiar with this scam.

Here's some signs of a lotto scam:\n\n*You never paid money or bought a ticket to enter.\n*Your "winning" notification is probably not personalized.\n*Your "winning" notification came by email, probably from a free email address such as yahoo.com or msn.com.\n\nIf you answer the email, after one or two email exchanges with the so-called "lottery officials" or "claims agent," perhaps accompianied by some official looking but fake documents, you'll be asked to pay fees for "taxes" or "handling" or some other reason. This is the scam - you pay the fees and never see any winnings, mainly because there are none to see.

This is fraud.  alot of people I know have gotten this email. They tell you you've won a large amount of money, but you need to pay them something to recieve it. Delete this, do not click on any links, do not send the money or call any phone numbers. It is fraud. \n\nIf you copy the first couple lines and put it in a search engine it will tell you it's fraud.

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

It's fraud man don't beleive them, I'll tell you something have u ever participated in an English Lottery contest or any linked thing?? I guess not, if they emailed you again just send them an email telling them to send you some of the money for you to go and receive your prize.

Sounds like someone running a scam.  They offer you a % of a multi-million dollar amount?  Delete the e-mail, record it as spam and go on about your business.

if they're not to your exact address, but have a similar screenname as you, then it's most likely spam. i've gotten emails like that and it's always about "work at home and make millions!" etc. just add it to your spam. next time you see an email sender's address that looks funny, don't open it because it will tell the sender that your address is still active and you'll just get more and more!!

More than likely not.  Did you enter into any lottery?  It's a scam, stay away from it.

Unfortunately, NO.  If any body claims it's a free lottery, beware of frauds. I refer a site for your info: fraudwatch.com . Browse this site for extra info.  Goodluck

If you are talking about e-mail you are recieving, it is probably spam.  However, you can find information on the UK National lottery through the link below.

It is probably a scam.  DON'T give out any bank information.  DON'T pay anyone anything to get a "prize".  You can contact the people who notified you to investigate further, but BE VERY CAREFUL.  People use things like this to cheat people out of their hard-earned money.
