Few days ago, I received an email from Queen Elizabeth's Foundation stating I had been chossen as recipient of 400,000 US dollars to use for my personal purfose, education, etc. To file a claim, I was to provide some sort of my personal information. Is it for real? I mean the organization really exist was it? What should I do?

Make a search for 'Queen Elizabeth's Foundation scam' and you will see what you should do.
Trash it along with anything else that arrives that seems to be good to be true. After all, why did they choose you?

I know what I read after I made the search.
Did you search like I suggested?

Ignore it, it's not for real. Why would the USA have a Queen Elizabeth fund? Yeah, I'd just delete it and move on, never share personal information like that trough email.

Almost 100 out of 100 times these emails are nothing but fake. The sender of such an email normally have dishonest intention to steal your personal information and or money. Normally, If you receive those kind of emails, simply report them as "spam" and if possible block the email address of the sender. Make sure you do not reply to those emails. Not even for fun sake! Some may think it's fun but what happens when you reply to such an email is that, the sender will know for sure that such an email really exist and will sell your email to more spammers for money and you'll start receiving more spam from more spammers.

I also received that email a few days ago and they are actually asking for some money so dont mind them. If you receive them again, ignore it. Or better yet, send them a reply that you are the one who made that scam and you could not be victimized by them. Its not true that you are the mastermind but sometimes its also good to let these kind of people know that we can not be deceived cause they already deceived a lot of people because of that email.
