These social media "giveaways" have made it very very easy for scammers to dupe thousands of people into publicly posting their emails.

FB friend of mine posted something similar...but it was purported to be from "Robert and Tonya Harris" - a Georgia couple, who did win a jackpot back in 2008.

And that Oprah Picture? The one that appeared to be coming from her twitter page, supporting that lottery giveaway claim....1,000% fake.

Any tech savvy person can change the text of any website and take a screen shot of it.

Look what I did in a mere minute: http://imgur.com/iYwiJa4

No photoshop - just some quick coding.

Always be wary.
