I received an e-mail today.  "Dear Winner, You have won 300,00.00 pounds and a New Peugeot 407 car.  Contact this claims agent withe this e-mail woods_claims232@yahoo.co.uk. Congradulaterion, Mr. Gerard."  I think it's a scam.  What do you all think.

:smt009 Sorry Helen, but it is a scam. Do not reply to their email as they will try to get money out of you and/or steal your identity.

To get an idea of the various scams, please visit the Reported Scams forum:

http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/post/viewforum.php?f=16

Whenever you get an email saying you won something, always check to see if you did enter - a legitimate winning email will name the promotion and all you have to do is use the POWER SEARCH feature:

http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/power_search.php

And click this link Power Search Expired Sweepstakes http://www.sweepsadvantage.com/power_search_archive.php

To check the name of the promotion.  :smt004
