There isn't a prize - this is a scam, and yes, pretty much anyone with an email address gets that eventually. Some people are even foolish enough to send them the "delivery fee" they ask for - they lose that money, and don't get any of the supposed prize money, since it's just a scam. Just delete the email.

Hi there !
The reason why you have asked such a question in this column itself explains the fact that you are aware of this gimmick...right ?
and almost everybody in the world knows about it ! and the steps you can follow are these :
1. Block their address by going into the options.
2. Don't open , but "delete"...
problem is as good as solved and get a peaceful sleep !
OR....
3. if you want to make a try at the game of winning millions, take the risk...and have sleepless nights !!.
its as simple as that !
best wishes !

What happens when you give them your account information is that they make an immediate withdrawal for "processing fees" - something like $1,000-2,000 - and then you never hear from them again. They aren't anywhere in the U.S., so there is absolutely no recourse for someone who falls for their scheme. Your bank can't recover the money; your email provider won't help; the government can't help. This is a con - pure and simple. Don't respond to it!!!

it is a scam. You should forward it to local law enforcement. Never give out personal information.

It's a scam.
Anyone offering 'FREE' cash is simply trying to get your personal details.
Delete it and forget it.
