Facebook Online International Lottery Scams

The email messages below with the subject: "Facebook Online International Lottery," are lottery scams. If you have received the same email messages that claim that you are a winner of the Facebook Lottery, please note that the email messages are scams. Facebook is currently not promoting any lottery games or sweepstakes. I am tired of all these email lottery scams, and want people to know that they should never respond to any email message asking for personal information, financial information or money.
