Lottery Scam Emails
If you receive an email informing you that you have won a prize in a lottery that you don't remember entering, it is most likely a scam email designed to fleece you out of an administration fee. These emails are typically called 'Nigerian 419' scams (where this type of scam originated) and are named after the relevent section of the Nigerian Legal Code which deals with these 'Advanced Fee Fraud' scams.
