i was just looking throug my emails. i saw an email that i wasn't familiar with so i decided to check it out. i open the letter and this is what it says.

You have won the sum of £ 250 000 from the Toyota Online Promotions
held in
London. Contact our agent and provide him with the under listed datas
for
claims.

The selection process was carried out through random selection in our
computerized Email selection system (ESS) from a database of
over250,000
email addresses drawn from all the continents of the world.

it gave a bunch of contact information and stuff but i didn't wanna post it. do you think this is legit.

I'll tell you if you did if you send me all your credit card numbers!

No really though. If they're asking for a bunch of sensitive stuff then no.

don't listen to all these people, you definitely did win the money. All you have to do is give them your credit card number, the 3 digit security code on the back of it, and your social insurance number so they can correctly identify you and make sure no one else is trying to claim your winnings. Congratulations!

wow. i mean good luck.
if you get a bunch of random shit that isnt super credible (i.e. some huge website contest) via email, it aint legit, especially if you "won" or were in some weird ass guy's will, and if it has anything to do with Africa and london/UK. More warnings, like a bunch of weird shit (like no specificity) and also bad punctuation (especially no spaces after periods), means non-legit. Just takes one fool and they get a little. That, or they could go to italy and try to sell a lot of dumb shit to tourists (which they do, too).

yeah and...give them your mothers maiden name, and a key to your house....and make sure you tell them the security passcode....and your favorite meal, so they can be there waiting for you to come home from school, and have dinner made for you in your house.

Dude, its fake...they send emails like that all the time and try to get personal information. Do not give them any info..If you REALLY wanna know, then contact Toyota and ask them if they are running a contest like the one you "won". Do not go to a dealer, contact the corp

It would suck if you really did win $250000 but you thought it was spam.

I do think it is spam though. Post the email and blank-out the personal info so we can see if it is legit or not.

despite all the people on here, realistically they would have called you to tell you. Sorry to break it to you but they wouldn't tell you you've won over e-mail.
