    I mean, have you entered a comp to win £500,000? Don't you think you'd remember entering a comp like that? !!!!!!, I can remember entering everyone with a prize over about a few thousands, let alone half a million.

    I had one from the United Nations for the same amount. I'm stringing the poor sod along just for a laugh, but it's definitely a scam. Avoid.

    Soz mel - but don't you just hate emails like this - half of you want to think it's genuine but then reason kicks in and you have to question it - here's wishing you a really good honest win soon ;) xxx

    Please tell me you are joking? Did you REALLY think that you may have won £500k and they just pop you an email?
