Your topic reminds me of one of my unforgetable memories, that I received an email informed that I won a big amount of money ($ 1,000,000 US).Oh my God! I tried to follow all their instructions, and at last they asked me to send them 144 euro for law fee. Luckily, my friends told me about the similar scam that she read on newspapers... I lost much time and get nothing from my big prize, hic. Pls don't ever believe in such mails like that or you will be regret.

You do not do anything but delete it because it is a scam and nothing else. They are just trying to steal your personal information and steal your money so you should just delete the email. There are lots of scams going on in this world both through email, phone and regular mail so you need to take caution. Especially if you did not play a contest or register for a prize, how could you win anything.

it is a scam, ask them for their bank details and check it out first, ask them for a list of names and addresses of people that they have actually paid money to. Speak to these people, only then would i be convinced it is not a scam

Unfortunately, these are a symptom of the society in wich we live. I guarantee you that if you responded to them they would tell you that in order to be "Entered into their prize draw" you would have to subscribe to their service.

oh come on man, it's just a scam or a spam mail. It's really something not true and most probably come with bad intention. So, what you do, is classify this email as spam and delete it or whatever. Don't believe what's inside. It's just too goood to be true.
