no it is not real!! It is a huge scam that has been around for a couple of months.. generally they ask you to do some sort of "money laundering" with a bank account in a foreign country of something like that where they promise you a huge commission but just keep asking for small checks or deposits from you for "shipping" or something and might send a small check for like a couple of hundred $ in return and then say they need a larger amount from you to send you the rest of the 2 mil...
just ask yourself this, if you were going to launder 2 mil, (especvially illegally) would you go through a total stranger in another country?!?!
Hope that helps you keep your money!!!

I have those too and I make certain that it is deleted immediately, do not make contact with anything or anybody who claim to be involved with things like this. Unfortunately some people do respond and loose large sums of money, if nobody replied these scams would disappear as unworkable.

You can only win what you enter. You clearly didn't enter anything, and the overseas adress makes it doubly suspicious, so forward it to the police and then delete it. Unless you feel like being charitable to a career criminal, in which case send your credit card number, bank details and personal information right on back.

It is a scam. It is not real. I get the same emails and delete them. Anytime, you receive money from an unknown source a red flag goes up.

You really are stupid - I'm guessing this delightful missive is from Nigeria or one of the former Soviet republics that Putin hasn't converted to his won personal brand of fascism yet.
Throw it away and go back to reading your Noddy comics

It's a scam.............report it to your spam account. You should not open up any e-mail from people you do not know. Unless you are willing to risk being scammed or getting hit with a virus.
Good Luck

It is a scam to get your bank #'s and clean you out! It happened to my son. He lost $300 out of his checking, all he had at the time!

It is a scam. Do not respond to it. Delete the message.

No, it's a load of tosh, delete it immediately and pretend you never saw it. If you opened it, run a virus scan and spyware scan.
