"United States Lottery" is NOT Real - it is a Trick by Scammers
There is no "United States Lottery." Therefore, recipients of fake emails like the one below, which claim they are winners in such a lottery are asked not to follow the instructions in them. The fake emails are being sent by lottery scammers to their potential victims. If the potential victims contact the scammers, they will be asked to send money in order to collect their so-called lottery prize. But, if they do, the scammers will take their money and disappear and move to other potential victims.
Remeber, once you are asked to send money in order to collect a lottery prize, it is a scam. Legitimate lottery companies do not ask their winners to send money.
