I don't belive in it. first of all: why should they do that?
second: woulden't we have seen anything about a big online e-mail lottery on the TV or something (if it is true).

Every time you get a strange email just ignore it and block/delete, none of that kind of stuff is real.

Definitely fake... if you received it in Hotmail, there should have been a message stating something like...

This email could be considered dangerous.

So yeah... unless you're not using hotmail.
