  • I would have replied to them by email (like wokkies) (assuming it is a throwaway email address cos they might be seeing what addresses they get replies from to send loads of that delicious spam) and then I would have sent the reply email to Trading Standards. All I can say is if this were genuine they must have a lot of money & BMWs to give away!
