Just google scam and see how many hits yoou get, there are millions of them and they are all aimed at taking your money.An excellent site giving advice on how to recognise and avoid scams is at www.rz-berlin.mpg.de/~wm/wm-lotto.html Also If you go to the following link you will get some info on ID theft www.identity-theft.org.uk the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful.

    Well I received it too, they quoted special delivery company for shipment of checque for $5.000.000 of course you have to pay " a fee " for delivery I checked the details of shipment company this is Australian small courier company working in very limited area near of Sydney no international shipments so I definitely consider it to be spam, forget it

    They'll be asking for your bank details. Don't give any. Delete it and report it if you can.
