OT Wow I just won a BMW! (NOT)

Aren't I a very lucky boy ?

Suppose I can cancel my E90 320d order,although I'll lose my deposit

Wonder who's behind this racket,are people still taken in by these ?

What it's not a scam!! Oh *uck!!!!

I've just e-mailed them all my NR account details along with all the required PIN numbers.

Fortunately I forgot about all my offshore accounts, so the £56.5 million in the Cayman Islands will be ok.

The £2.7 million in Northern Rock is just pocket money!

just like those spanish phone calls, " Sir you have just a won a share in the spanish lottery!" we need to get your bank details to transfer the money but before we do that we need about £5,500 for admin purposes...

you know the rest..
