Was it American Dreams Lotteries or American Dreams Sweepstakes? How were you notified you had won? Were you told you had to pay some money before claiming your prize?
I have found no business named "American Dreams Lotteries" in the USA or any other posts (for the USA) about "American Dreams Lotteries", other than the US Federal government lotteries for immigrant entry visas to the USA..
I have found reports online about scams from "American Dreams Sweepstakes" in the USA.
Personal opinion: If you do not recall entering a sweepstakes or lottery and / or if the whole thing sounds too good to be true, don't trust it.
Fixya volunteer answerer Steve is correct about this website. I only chose to answer as a kindness.
face book is a social media operation and does not give prizes
you can always call face book direct on the contact number listed at the bottom of the face book page ( not the one she gave you)
Be extremely wary of this as I am thinking big scam especially if they want your bank details to put the winnings into your account
I would dismiss it as a scam
ITS A SCAM BY A GROUP OF MOTHER ******* BEAWARE OF THIS EMAIL FRAUD
Lottery scam is a type of advance-fee fraud which begins with an unexpected email notification that "You have won!" a large sum of money in a lottery. The recipient of the message - the target of the scam - is usually told to keep the notice secret, "due to a mix-up in some of the names and numbers," and to contact a "claims agent." After contacting the agent, the target of the scam will be asked to pay "processing fees" or "transfer charges" so that the winnings can be distributed, but will never receive any lottery payment.[1] Many email lottery scams use the names of legitimate lottery organizations or other legitimate corporations/companies, but this does not mean the legitimate organizations are in any way involved with the scams.
There are several ways to recognize a fake lottery email:
Unless someone has bought a ticket, they cannot have won a prize. There are no such things as "email" draws or any other lottery where "no tickets were sold". This is simply another invention by the scammer to make the victim believe that they have won. The scammer will ask the victim to pay a fee before they can receive their prize. It is illegal for a real lottery to charge any sort of fee. It does not matter what they say this fee is for (courier charges, bank charges, various imaginary certificates - these are all made up by the scammer to get money out of their victim). All real lotteries subtract any fee and tax from the prize. Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email accounts such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Gmail etc.
