Does anyone have any idea who I can send this to to stop this stuff from happening. I am sending this to all the lists I am on... so I can help others who see this know it has to be hogwash! And to be careful of yet another scam out there folks! It could be a phone number that you get charged a gazillion dollars to call... so just be careful! Do not call this number..at least not from this email! Note, I did not change the date in the next to the last paragraph which says what date I must call by... I have changed the numbers of the winning tickets, etc. to X's so no one could get confused and try to call on this.
