I’m pretty sure this is just some scam, since I get these kind of emails all the time. What do you guys think? have you ever heard of anything like this before? do u get them? what are the scammers trying to do anyway?

I have received such notifications from the Yahoo National Lottery, and the British National Lottery. The e-mail usually states I am winner because e-mail was entered in a sweepstakes contest. Are these Legitimate contest or do they just want my personal information?
