Hi All, I too have received such mail from them and when i replied asking them to process my award, they have sent me a form asking for my personal details, passport no. etc., and they say that either they can send a cash cheque to me by courier or i can travel to UK to collect personally.

All this looks a clear fraud ... as many of you too have received such mails & why someone would be interested to giveaway Millions of $$.

I also saw on other website that, they have asked a person to send Rs.57,000/- to UK to release his cash award. Its a new way of cheating people online.

If you have any more info kindly reply to my id "sharad_jai@hotmail.com". Thanks

Why are people sending such emails, giving people hope for a promotion they don't intend to follow through on.

If there is one person who has received something, even the run around when they call respond to me.

"Nothing is free in Life" & " In order to get u got to give" & "There's a sucker born every minute" & "the rich stay rich by stealing from the poor" " Who comes by 2million dollars and just give it away?... Am sure not even Robin Hood"!
