people do fall for these and the ones to send money.
When i worked in the bank i had a call from an elderly gent who had received one in the post and wanted his IBAN (international banking) number to transfer the £1000 which would release millions to him. I warned it was a scam and not to do it but he wasn't listening and got angry with me. He ended up losing a lot of money
If its too good to be true it usually is!would love to win an ipad!
