I'll add more later, but I just want to put this in play:
Any "prize" that is given only exists as a result of people doing something that is, on aggregate, more valuable than the prize being given out. Lotteries pay out millions, but collect tensof millions. Contests give away a car or a trip, but collection valuable data on consumers at an incredibly high rate, which has more value than the prize. Basically, most prize giveawaysare designed to obtain income, information, or to get a consumer to perform an act / make a purchase / visit a store that they otherwise would not do.
Emails that say "you won millions" are always scams because they fail that simple test. You have done nothing to merit the prize. You have not fulfilled your part of the bargain, so there is no way that the prize can exist.
More later. But start with simple logic and the rest is simple. | |
