Thanks everyone, I really am not that gullible, I suspected it from the beginning, but it is always nice to check it out, and warn other people as well, I really wanted to know what their purpose is sending the email, now you have told me they can access your computer, so that puts it into perspective, I have not done anything but read it, and so hopefully I will be safe, unless it downloads a virus on to my computer, go and do a scan now.

So does anyone know if the green card lottery is a scam, I was thinking of entering it for my son, but I am cautious about it, it sounds too good to be true as well.?
