For a moment there, I thought, ‘Wow! £500,000.00 GBP, that’s a lot of money, man.” But somehow, things that is too-good- to-be-true like this is always a scam. Nope, I didn’t bother to contact Mr Graham Benfield. Instead, I googled to find out if there really is a “Google Online Promotions” going on.
Ah-ha! Just as I thought, A SCAM! I came across other google e-mail users who had received the same e-mail. Well, not 100% similar. The ‘reply-to’ , the ‘contact person’ and the undersigned are different. But the Winning Details, from the CGPN to the Lucky Numbers are all similar.I sure hope that none of us would fall for this scam!

Hmm, I’m a bit frustrated though that Google didn’t send-out any warning of this bogus promotion or is it possible that nobody in Google knows about this??? Or, is it only me who's unaware of the warning???
