Good mornin nairalanders. A friend of mine got an email that his visa lottery he applied for years back is successful. As for me I suspected a foul play as he said it was in the year 2010 he applied for the lottery and am sure if one's visa would be granted through lottery, it shouldn't take 5years. And one more thing about the mail is that, they said he should file for all that is needed and make a payment of $1,250 withing 7 working days. Pls fellow nairalander, could be real or scam? Has anyone got this kinda email recently? I posted this because it's often said that two good heads are better than one.

This is a scam, how old is your friend even? Played visa lottery in 2010 and won it in 2015?
