Others received in email:
Even on Answers.com or Yahoo Answers I see so many people receive these and ask if it is real and if they should reply. If they don't get an answer fast enough they go ahead and reply to the email and get suckered in because it seems legit! I don't want to be one of those people who think they won money and send the "fees" only to be in worse financial straits than before! I don't think you want to neither.
