"Seems legit"?

I cannot comprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that would cause such a statement to be made. (yes, I stole that, can't rememer who said it though).
 
Please empty your house of all items which may be dangerous to you, including scissors, knives, coat hangers, electricity, water, and possibly gravity itself. You're better off without these things.

Why would you ever think that was legit?

If you actually won a substantial amount of money, don't you think the proper representatives would CALL YOUR HOME to tell you that you won?

Don't be stupid. You lose money that way.
