No. Don't believe a word. Don't you just love scam email junk? Here's one I received this morning:
"Dear Sir, I got your contact in my search for an honest, Godly and trustworthy foreign partner to assist me transact a lucrative but confidential business involving $35 million and bank account transfer. I am Dr. OBOSHI Special Assistance to the former President of Liberia Mr. Charles Taylor. We are presently forced into exile right now..."
Blah blah blah. Yes, of course you are, 'Dr Oboshi', and I'm Henry VIII back from the grave. Now bog off.
Tell the morons get lost. Actually, don't bother responding, they'll just send you more spam! Delete them and block their addresses from your inbox.

This is usually a scam from some nice sunny spot in Nigeria asking you for your details. The moment they have any details such as your name, address, or heaven forbid - your bank account number, they can do all sorts of nasty things. Just mark it down as spam and forget about it.

If the e-mail says you have got to pay something to get your prize, ignore it, it is a scam. If it is something you never entered into, again, probably a scam. Delete it.

It's a scam, I get them all the time. They'll either ask for your bank account number to deposit the "winnings", or they'll ask you to pay the taxes or a processing fee.
Either way remember, You can't win something that you didn't enter.

Delete it. It's a scam. I don't think there is anyone going to be giving you £170 million as a prize by email.

i think its definitely worth checking out, especially if there's a number you can ring...i mean £1.50 a minute for no more than 10minutes....do the math...£11.50 for a possible 260,000 euro prize.!!!
you have almost definitely won..99%! ignore these other pessimists their just jealous and want the prize for themselves.

NO WAY ITS A SCAM
Delete it as they are only looking for your Bank Details so they can empty your funds. Remeber there is no such thing as a free lunch.
