This is totally scammer.Have you ever received this email. Luckily this email goes to my junk folder. If not maybe I will give them some money thru E-gold just to claim the $500 prize. After the first one I still received 3 to 5 times emails like this so I know that is just a scam but anyway all the link they bring is exactly similar like yahoo. So for newbie, they will easily been trapped by them. Be careful huh.

Good thing you decide to post it so many like me will be warned beforehand that such a scheme exists. I have not received any email yet but I know what is it already. Thanks bro.

Some times you tend to submit your email on some forms to sign up, most of them starts there. some get emails from social networks... ect.

recently, they try to be more personalized with their gimmicks. So beware!

Absolutely this is a scam and i used to receive such emails almost on a daily basis and all i just with such mails is to reply to them to make them think that we have indeed fallen for such cheats. This will make them somewhat busy from their bad doings at least!
