No lottery board will send you an email tonotify you that you have won the lottery. You have to be aware, and inform them if you've won. Most of the scammers will ask you to send a couple thousand dollarsthrough Western Union money transfer services to pay for 'legal fees' or 'transfer costs', then once you receive your 'winnings', you are obligated to send a percentage of your 'winnings' back. Some lottery scams have 'lawyers' involved, but no professional organization or corporation would ever ask you tosend money through Western Union. They use this method because there isabsolutely no way of tracing your money to get it back. They will also tell you tokeep your 'winnings' confidential and private. By this, they mean don't tell the police because they don't want to be hunted down and prosecuted. Remember, if you didn't buy a lottery ticket, you cannot win the lottery! 3.) Work at Home Schemes: Work at home, online and become wealthy? Sounds pleasant to avoid traffic in themorning and the ability to sleep in all day, and work by night, but let's get back tothe real world of living.

They will ask you for photo identification and banking details to do a 'wiretransfer'. They will usually ask for a sum of money. Why would you have to payanything when they are the one holding '10 million dollars'? There will not be atransfer, so try not to get your hopes up of becoming rich.
5.) Foreign Employment Scam: Another scam is the foreign employment scam. A so-called employer from a'company' will contact you via email and ask if you would like to become business partners.

In addition to access, a fullyfunctioning service of this type would provide services related to thecreation, update, and maintenance of information.

Asset management
A bank may mobilize its assets in several ways. It may demand repayment of loans, immediately or at short notice; it may sell securities; or it may borrow fromthe central bank,
using paper representing investments or loans as security. Banksdo not precipitately call in loans or sell marketable assets, because this woulddisrupt the delicate debtor-creditor relationship and lessen confidence, which probably would result in a run on the banks. Banks therefore maintain cashreserves and other liquid assets at a certain level or have access to a lender of lastresort, such as a central bank. In a number of countries, commercial banks have attimes been required to maintain a minimum liquid assets ratio. Among the assetsof commercial banks, investments are less liquid than money-market assets. Bymaintaining an appropriate spread of maturities (through a combination of long-term and short-term investments), however, it is possible to ensure that a proportion of a banks investments will regularly approach redemption. This produces a steady flow of liquidity and thereby constitutes a secondary liquidassets reserve.
