Question:
I got a prize notification from Dr.Larry Hector, claims officer of Volks wagen automobiles. I got a secret id also from them. When I contact them via email they sent me the details of Car ready for shipment and the names & address of Courier company and suggest me to reach England for receive the price.

Sophos researchers believe that the emails are a variant of the commonly-encountered "Letter from Nigeria" scams, also known as 419 Advanced Fee Fraud, that fool innocent users into believing that a large amount of money will be transferred into their bank account, but are really designed to steal information about the user's bank account or demand a "handling fee" for the money transfer.

First of all, did you enter any lottery? Second, car companies do not give away cars without telling everyone about it. It's marketing. Finally, if you did "win" a lottery, you never pay to receive your prize. This is a total SCAM. I would contact Volkswagen and see what they have to say about it.2003 grand prix- 82K - seems sluggish, hesitant when accelerating-any help?
Let me put it this way.IF you WON a prize, it is done - you won.WHY is there a time limit?
WHY is there additional costs?
WHY should you have to travel anywhere.they can transport you afterall you are the "winner"
Etc.
Obviously this is a scam of some sort.

There is a global group that goes after these people, using simply their own greed. In many cases they have convinced the scammer to send THEM money or perform (and photograph themselves performing) ridiculous acts .. even to making a movie of an old monty python sketch (that one made it to U Tube). I guarantee you will laugh and say 'no way' about how really dumb greed makes these vermin.

Oh! WOW! Its a small world, I was the third winner also...is this your "secret" ID... x7pwyz2006...? If thats it, its not a secret...It's spam; with information as sensitive as they want from you AND the "sensitive" information they give to you...well I'll put it like this...E-mail isn't the most secure means of communication. I believe a true company would never send sensitive data over unencrypted pages..you know when see that little lock thing at the bottom of your page, or when the URL bar turns a different color, that indicates its encrypted or secure...If you really won something, there would be a secured link for you to go through. Sorry but its spam..no car..no money...those bastards...If you don't believe me Google it..More Questions & Answers ...
