Answer 4

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet and how to report them :

http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/UK...

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Answer 5

It is fake.  Emails like the one you describe are attempts to steal identifying information (name, address, age),  or perpetuate a bait and switch scam (they ask you to get a money order that they send you cashed and send them the money.....the money order turns out to be fake, and you must repay whatever bank cashed it for you).  Sometimes they contain viruses that activate just by opening them.  If you receive an unsolicited email, particularly one from a contest you never entered, the best thing to do is mark it as spam and delete it without opening it.
