dear people, I also received this winning lottery from Tagged International Lottery … when I saw I did have to pay for my money I knew it wasn’t real, but I think by myself, how is it possible these kind of fraud games exist, because I believe some people fall for it and loose all there money … sites like tagged or any other should take more responsibility because the one that did send me “that letter” is still online … making many people confused just for fun … unbelievable!
THOUGHT I WOULD GOOGLE BEFORE ACTIONING ANYTHING AND AS I SUSPECTED IT IS A SCAM. REALLY WANTED TO BELIEVE IT WAS REAL THOUGH!! ; )

Any loto asking for money is not real! Do not fall for some lame thing like that. Whenever any person asks that you give money before you get money is a scam.
I have received a simmalar email stating that I have won $2,5million. I faxed and emailed all details they asked. Then they said I must deposit a certain amount into an account which I will get back. They must activate a bank account for me. When I said I do not have that kind of money a man phoned me Benney Morson saying that I must email my options a Bank will contact me? Is this real? I can forward the relevant email to you if necessary.
