The following is an e-mail I received telling me I'd won a consolation prize. After checking around I found out that this is one of several formats they have used in order to scam people. If you choose to have your cheque sent by courier, you are asked to pay an exorbitant sum or else if you choose the wire transfer option, you have to provide your account information. Don't fall for this scam!!!
