Hi everyone. I am new to the whole sweepstakes scene, and have only been entering them for a few weeks now. Looks like I got my first related spam message. This e-mail immediately set off the red flags, especially since I never entered any foreign lotteries, and none for such a large prize! They have gone through some trouble to appear legit (other than using a yahoo e-mail!). This seems to be a real company, but I think it's bogus for sure. Any thoughts?
