I doubt it - and the best way to test it is to go there again (or get a friend to do the same). It's probably a way of either extracting money from you - you'd be asked to make a 'modest' payment to cover 'administrative charges' or the like, or it's a way of harvesting your e-mail details so that you get shedloads of spam, or if you're really unlucky they're after your credit card or bank details so that they can steal your identity.
Strong cynicism recommended and don't part with any information whatsoever.

This is one big sign of being a spam site or someone who wants to someone who wants your information.
No one gives anything for free.. Never fill up any information about self or your bank or passwords or download anything from this sites.

Yes, expect a check for $999,999 in the mail. Before x-mas.

I doubt it. I've gotten the same answer many times:):). Just don't give yuo personal infoirmation to them. usually all you do is agree to receiving junk email from them. They also sell your information to other s[pamming sites. That is one of the ways spammmers get email and messenger addresses.

Several years ago I received a phone call that started out "Mr Smith (not my real name) you've been selected to receive $25,000!" I yelled, "great! Send it!" And promptly hung up the phone. They had my name, they had my telephone, and I assume, my address. They never did send me my money.

No....
It is either an information gathering scheme for spamming your Email, or Worse.
Never give out any information that you wouldn't give to unknown users in a chatroom.
and surf safe.

It is probably a hoax. They are trying to get information from you for one reason or another. Not for your benefit.
Most "prize winning" hoaxes require the victim to send money to claim a prize. Don't do it.

no, it is definitely spam. They are probably trying to get you to click on something which might install a virus or spyware onto your computer. and if they are asking for your personal information (name, email address, etc) they are just trying to get it so they can send you more advertisements and spam. Don't click on anything and don't give them your personal information at all!!!!
