FBI, Oprah Winfrey warn fans versus spam scam

Oprah Winfrey and the Federal Bureau of Investigation are working together and warning fans about Oprah Winfrey’s alleged “generosity”, Oprah Winfrey may be generous but not to the point that she would give away $1 million for the lucky winner of a contest supposedly sponsored by the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Oprah Winfrey and the FBI said there is an email scam targeting Oprah Winfrey’s fans. The email will inform the recipient that they have been chosen to join the “Oprah Millionaire Contest Show” special where one lucky audience member will win the jackpot if he can answer a handful of current events questions. Nothing wrong there—except that the recipient of the email would be asked to send money for airfare, show tickets and hotel to a Seattle address. And before you fall for this hook line and sinker, be aware that the production company and the studio of Oprah Winfrey’s show are in Chicago.
