Well, i guess i kinda fell for the same as all of you guys who reported before me, and i have to say... I DID GET MY HOPES UP AND HOPED IT WAS FOR REAL..

It started with an email from a Dr.PAUL DYER congratulating me for winning a lottery from 24,000 random websites and giving a reference number and batch number and the whole deal..

asked for my personal details, which i stupidly sent, but i added a couple of questions at the end of my email to clarify the matter and the "procedures"
since i was still skeptical.

next day, i got another email asking me to send a copy of an ID (passport, driving license..) and totally ignoring my questions.

two things caught my attention:

1. The Bad use of the english language and the multiple grammar mistakes (If that were a real company, they would've had a certain plausible format for these letter.)

2. The so-called MANAGER mr. Frank Wiles had a YAHOO based Email "expressatacorncourierltd@yahoo.co.uk" which didnt have his name anywhere in it. (If that were also a real respectable company, they would've had a t least a domain name)

so i started searching the net for their company which led me to your website.

after reading the various report, i sent them back saying:

"I am very excited to be receiving this prize
I feel very lucky to be picked out of all these people
Since i am planning to visit the UK in the coming week (NOT true of course) , it would be a pleasure to meet with you in person and pick up the prize myself, no need to send by courier" :)

i am still waiting for their reply.
:D
