fake for sure

thumb rule for detecting fraud offers :

if someone offers u something for free but asks u for your credit card number,then its definitely a fraud offer

Dude I dont believe u r falling 4 it..

If u hav won $300, y do dey need ur credit card no.? So dat dey can withdrw $600 frm ur account n pay u $300!!! Its all fake.. No1 evr wins such lotteries... n b careful 2 get a gud antivirus + firewall 4 ur sys as such sites r dangerous n u may b infected wit trojans/virus which wil send out ur credit card no. without u evn knowing abt it.

Who doesn't? Yeah, deleting - without opening - them is the right thing to do!

In this age, if someone offers to pay you money for no reason, there has to be a catch in it. And a pretty rotten one at that!

It still is a fake. Mark it as spam so that future emails from that site do not find their way to your inbox. And do not participate in such online money-making websites. They are all scams. Nothing in life is free, and specially on the internet.
