I believe this type of fraud is called the Nigerian Scheme (regardless of where the person/company is located). The simple questions you ask yourself when presented this "opportunity" are:
1. Why me?
2. Why does someone with $1.3million need $750
3. Why me?

Stay away from it. You have not won anything. They want your $750 and you will never hear from them. Delete those emails.

Don't pay any heed to such mails. It is one of the many procedures adopted by tricksters to hoodwink innocent people! Just delete the mail as soon as you spot it and activate spams control in your mail settlings.
