maybe try telling them that you can open a savings account for free and suggest doing it? it does sound like a bit of a scam. there is no need for them to open a brand new account, and i never heard of one that costs cash to open in the first place. did you enter the lotto ? or did the mail come unsolicited ?
and try to find some kind of finacial ombudsman or customer scam protection agency in your area to check it all out for you. thats what i'd do.

Do Not Do It! This is a Scam. I have worked on internet for 8 years. This is one of the biggest scams going. "You won or inherited $billion dollars, please send $50 so we can release the funds.." Think about it, why don't they just pay you $99,950. Common sense will tell the answer. Tell them this, "If I don't send the $30, you can just pay me $50,000 instead".

Then the subsequent ingredient you hear, is which you very own your economic enterprise a super sum of money.

I have exclusive rights to the Mississippi River bridge at Vicksburg and will sell it to you for $150. You can turn it into a toll bridge and charge vehicles to pass over it. You can retire in only five years if you will buy it from me for only $150.
Going, going...

It's a scam. They will want you to give information, or to cover some cost. DON'T fall for that. You can send me the $30.00 and at least I won't steal your ID.

not all are scams BUT.......
be very careful to read ALL the fine print
before you send them any money
I actually won $1000 in an unexpected e-mail
but they didn't require me to send any funds,
I just needed to return a notarized form to
get my check : )

SCAM! SCAM! SCAM!
Do not click on any of the links, do not answer their emails, delete them as soon as you get them and mark them as spam.
