It's a scam...if you didn't actually enter a contest then you didn't win...there are a host of these scams (holdovers from the telemarketing haydays) that try to lure you into their clutches...just toss it out with the trash becasue that is all it is...

Anyone that tells you you have won a prize for a contest you haven't entered is a scam...!!
And NEVER never even consider giving any information out to an address you don't know personally... especially personal details like passport, bank account etc..
All of these are scams - don't even reply (if you haven't already) as that alerts the scammers that your email address is live. Just hit the spam button and delete it.
There's no such thing as a free prize to contests you haven't even heard of !!

You've already seen all the answers before this one. I will say what I always say if it looks to good to be true it is. Just type scams into google and see how many results come up and also look at this site www.identity-theft.org.uk the Internet is a dangerous place. Be careful never give details to anyone you don't know.

Hope you didn't give any details; it'll be a "phishing" exercise. Never give any valuable or personal details out like that - armed with your passport number, fraudsters have an open door!

@aim.com is the free verion of aol's messenger. I should think if they were a valid company , they would at least have their own email server. Dont fall for it...

Leave it alone - its a scam.
DO NOT under any circumstances give them any personal details.
If they continue to contact you - e-mail back saying you are only twelve ( for instance - i.e underage).

Do not send them a thing. Just get rid of it. It is fake. It will not be the last one you will get. So let this be a warning////
