    It's quite odd... i mean i've just looked at their website, to read :

    Why would they give money out as a prize when it goes against their cause?

    First of all they will get the information which they have asked in the mail itself. Secondly, I think when a transfer of a huge sum is involved there will be a series of further communication between you and the scammer wherein the scammer might ask about further information as your financials, etc. And there you go they have all the information that they want to make you a victim of the scam.

    Even if they don't do the second series of communication, I think the first communication would be enough for them to get a good lead about you and then start searching for further details.

    Now you might be an intelligent person who might not share your critical
    information, but think this way.. if one in ten thousand people, to whom they have sent this kind of mail, responds then the scammer might get some big money.

    They gather such information so that they can sell it on to third parties. Try and report them to their hosts.

    I get these all the time, its just scammers collecting information from the gullible. Send them information of someone you hate.

    If you respond to them it will simply verify your email address. Then you can expect a thousand more.

    Just the other day, I received an SMS on my mobile from some Guiness Award Promotion stating that I had won 7,00,000 British pounds for 2009 Splash Award....!!!:D

    My family converted this figure to see how much it would mean in INR....and we all had a hearty laugh....:D:p
