Scam alert.
In it, to win it. Out of it, doubt it .
I had something similar and it asked me to pay £100 for administration costs, then they would transfer the cash to my bank account. ( which they asked for the details for )
the prize was 1000, 000 british pounds.
I wrote to them and told them I dont have a bank account.. nor do I have £100 to spare either because I am disabled and unable to work.
I suggested they take the hundred off the total prize money and send a cheque for the remainder and then I could actually OPEN an account.
Surprise surprise....I didnt think anything strange when I never heard from them again. nor did I expect to either..so yes, its definitely a BIG SCAM

It is a scam and you will not see a penny of the "winnings" and you will certainly lose the £1500. They will also, if you pay this amount, have details of you bank account and will then syphon off your money. Also they will have perhaps your e mail address confirmed and will then try to enter your PC and get other information about you. The rule is have no contact and delete the e mail and forget it. Also always remember. If it sounds to good to be true, it is not true.

This is most likely a scam. I get a dozen of these types of email a week saying that I won money and whatnot. It would be wise to delete these types of emails from your inbox and ignore them.

RUN FAR AND FAST!!! It's a SCAM!!!! There are a bunch of them out there. Just remember, you can't win something when you didn't even enter the contest or lottery or whatever.

Scam. I get at least one of these every day. This one is more brazen than most; usually they don't ask for cash up front. Give them nothing.
