    Well, if they start asking for money for taxes or anything at all...you'll know it's a scam to try and get money out of you.


    I once had someone send me a check for $5000.00 to supposedly help pay the taxes on some Irish Lottery. They were trying to get me to put the worthless check in my account for deposit, and send them a real cashiers check in the amount of the supposed taxes on my winnings. LOL!


    Well, I hope yours is from a real company, and it is for real. Don't send them any money no matter what they say or try! If you really won anything, they can deduct taxes from it, before they send it to you.

    I would ignore it.  Unfortunately, it is another shady marketing gimmick which is becoming all too common these days.  You haven't won anything, and if you have it will be a token prize.  You will have to jump through lots of hurdles to get it.
