You know this is actually called "phishing". I got an e-mail from Forthnet today about messages like that and that we shouldn't give away personal details through e-mails.

So, when do I get my $800,00? LOL
I gave them my info and a week later, I received a car with a cash bonus. Crazy.
huh.. i just got the same email. so should I reply?
No way! It's just an ID scam. Just take a look at the the email addresses and you can see it's not official.
I also got the same email. How many free cars do they have?
I'd say somewhere between nil and nada.
