I started receiving this email from Pierce Glynn & Associates, London England, United Kingdom, three days ago. This morning I received the official winning certificate information certificate. It looked real and official, that I dared to dream it might be true. But, alas, everything that seems too good to be true, usually is. Shame on these people for scamming innocent citizens out of the money for delivery and leaving them with broken dreams. Thankfully, I was skeptical enough to do an Internet Yahoo search and found these complainsts. I am going to report this information to my local news channel and I suggest everyone else do the same. At least, maybe it will send out an alert to other people about this heartless scam, before they get sucked in. These are useless, pathetic, parasitic people, who are a blight on humanity.
