I don't know what I do . what is your comment? . do I track it ? or it is a Fraud only?
with thanks.

You received what is call a Nigerian Scam. I would delete it and move on.

Two things spring to mind to prove scam:

#1: New York lotto would pay in US Dollars not euros

#2: New York Lottery Commission has its own office, and not one overseas. There are no branch offices for the NEW YORK Lottery outside of New York State


If you want to follow up on it: I suggest you call the NEW YORK LOTTERY COMMISSION listed in the New York directory, and not any numbers listed in that email. 1-518-388-3300
or on the New York Lottery website itself: http://nylottery.org

If you go to the website, it has a section for questions labeled ASK NEW YORK LOTTERY. Use that menu.. there is a contact us section under that tab.

scam...
