It is not true, it is a scam being sent by thieves.

My partner recently was contacted via fb about how she had won $500,000USD and an apple laptop. And that we would be contacted my FED ex. We live in Australia, is this a scam?
Because we have had calls from people claiming to be from immigration asking us to pay to get it out. We first paid 200, now they are asking for more money. I can't help but feel if this is a scam, any thoughts or ideas about what we should do?

Yes, it is a scam. Once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.

I got an email stating I won five hundred thousand US dollars from gmail outlook.com.
They sent me a PIN number and wanted me to contact global courier services to find out
what it would cost me. People need to beware, if it cost them to win something in the mail, they should check it out first.

I stupidly responded to the first announcement of winning which included my Gmail, home address, s*x, phone number, and age. What do I do now?

Dec 17, 2015 at 7:47 PM by an anonymous user from: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Don't do anything, I just found out that Google and Facebook do not give out cash prizes. They are all scams.

Remember also that there is no Google or Facebook lottery.
