Google Email Lottery

Sorry if this has already been posted - I can't find it anywhere. I've recieved an email from GOOGLE EMAIL LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL saying I've won one million euros! I have to email someone in Athens to claim my money. This is surely a scam. Has anybody else had this?

I assume from your post that you already realise this is a scam and have deleted the email.
However , just in case it is not then think about this one..have you entered the Athens lottery? If not then it would seem to be quite obviously be a fake.
Google itself is a good place to start:

It might also be worth familiarising yourself more genrally with the 419 scam which is now happening everywhere and with thousands of variations.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
