It's very possible for this to be a scam. Just keep in contact with them and try to get as many info. Never borrow money and give it away. Just inform FBI. They are working on a lot of cases of Internet Fraud. Good luck!

No No No No No No No No No No No No No No NoNo No No No!!!!!
It IS a scam. Do NOT send them ANYTHING! Any "funds" you receive from them will not be good, the check will bounce or it will be withdrawn and the money YOU send THEM will be lost forever.
They'll send you a check for let's say ... $10,000 but then say they only meant to send $5,000, please send the $5k back .. you do and THEIR check bounces, you're out $5k. That's just one of their scams. The other is that you pay tax first for the money to be released.
You will never, ever, ever receive ANY money from them. I'd bet the bank on it :)
Good luck! :)

Please don't believe this. It's a scam. Any money you send them you will never see again. You never have to pay for a prize. Nigerian scams have ripped off many many people. Stay away from this. Please don't contact them and say, "this guy on Yahoo says it's a scam".
Of course they'll deny it.
