Yeah, it's crap.

Look how the email changes from Yahoo! Mail to Yahoo! Messenger, and later to MSN mail. See the bad grammar, "we are congratulating you for BEEN one of the people selected." See how the email changes from a monthly draw to an annual promotion.

Finally see how the email tries to get silly changing from the unlikely prize of 拢800,000 ($1.6m) to an end of year promotion that gives away $1.3bn? Yeah right.

Sorry, but this is just a scam from some crappy third world country that can't speak English or even be realistic in their email to you.

I bet you $1Bn, that you didn't win a penny and that this is a scam.
