Yes. So I am going to the bank in a little bit to ask them about it.
It says to keep this away from the public. But this is too good to be true. So I decided to share it with you all. Just incase you have recieved something similar to this. Saying that you won all this money, and it turns out to be nothing but a pure fraud.
So, watch your bank accounts. And don't fall for this. I would like more than anything to be recieveing that amount of money. (Seeing as I need that money...) But I am not stupid. And I know a fraud when I see one.
And I hope you notice a scam when one is presented to you.
Take care kiddies.
I posted that in a blog on Myspace as well.
