hotmail and gmail.

It's hardly new, I've been getting those for years, all going on about a
fake British lottery and such the I've supposedly won. They want your
personal information to use towards identity theft. I once responded with
bogus info and was asked to remit the "processing fee" to obtain my
"winnings".
If I've really won that many times without ever entering, how come I can't
win when I DO enter?:~)
