I have been recieving e-mails from the Netherlands stating I won the International lotto. Prize is approx 1.2 million U.S.Dollars. I am hesitant to give any of my info that is needed in order to collect winnings

   Sounds suspicious to me – unless you bought the ticket yourself then it’s probably a con. My advice is don’t give out any details, if it sounds to good to be true it probably is!

   Most National Lottery organisations have their own website, try and find the one who is contacting you with a search engine, they may offer more information.
