Banks and other LEGAL entities will NEVER notify a person by E-mail that you have "won" a prize or lottery. Further, NO legal and legitimate "winnings" EVER require a person to pay to get legitimate winnings. If you consider this logically: Let's say you have a friend who tells you, "I will give you 20 dollars." You say, "Great!" But your friend says, "To get the 20 dollars, you must first pay me a "fee" of 18 dollars in order to get the 20 dollars." Well, you'd tell your friend, "That's insane--I'm not going to give you 18 to get 20!" Besides that, if you are fooled and give this 18 dollars, your friend could just walk way, not give you the 20 dollars, and be 18 dollars richer--for doing nothing except fooling you. That is what email scams do--try to fool you to "pay a fee" to get imaginary "winnings" that you will never, ever get. ALSO, if you deposit a check to your account and it bounces, *YOU* are legally responsible for the check amount AND fees.

Do NOT ever reply to an Email Scam that says you "won" or "inherited" money.

It is most likely a banking scam. NEVER reply to any "bank" or "lottery winnings" notice you receive by E-mail. IF you were truly a "winner" or are owed money from a bank, the bank will NOT contact you over the internet. Instead they would send you official mail through regular postal mail.
