Ok...I am a skeptic of this although I do play these sweepstakes. I received an email saying I had won in the Annual powerball free lotto. I as 1 of 100 people to win. 1.5 million at that. The email doesn't ask for bank info, actually says the department of treasureary will be paying me. All it asks for is my ID for the sole purpose to Identify myself and who the certificate of ownership to the winning ticket. Has ticket #...File#... And he used my real name, not my email.The Email also tells me I may want to contact a financial advisor, which I did. Has anyone ever hear of this?
LOL... The department of treasury paying out sweepstakes, this is a joke. It is a scam, do not be fooled.
