Absolutely 100% scam, im certain enough that this is a scam, i would put my life on it. Please dont send anything, i receive about 5 of these a day
other common ones include
" i work for an oil company in asksakljdldhf, iv been left 100 million pounds and want to transfer it via you, of which i will give you 10 million,"
etc etc, theres always some asshole out there that will try this on, and the reason people even bother trying to scam people, is because there are 1 or 2 people like you out there, who will fall for it.
Please dont be one of them.

You got to be kidding me? You did not give your account number did you? This is a classic old scam. Many of us have received similar emails from all over the world. Notify your bank first thing tomorrow morning to protect your account. Why would you pay for something if you won something? Think about it for a minute.

you might want to look a little bit closer at those words. No where does it say that you've won any money. You only have a CHANCE to win money. and a very slim chance that is indeed. It seems as if you signed up to win money a short time ago and they are just reminding you that you are still in partner ship with them. anyways good luck in winning the money.

Don't you read the news online? This scam has been going on for years. Are you greedy?

You should have never replied. You should talk to your bank to see if your account might be at risk. You might need to close it and open it with a different account number. I assume you did not give them information where they can access the account online.

are you kidding me? if it was true, they'd send you a check, not ask for your account number and ask you to pay $2400 in transfer fees. it's a scam.
