I have received the message 1week before that my mobile no: has won the 2009 Shell International mobile draw of 250000 pounds and it was asked to contact the mail address: [email protected]. Then i got a winning notification from shell petroleum signed by Mr. Greg Smith. It was said that the prize money has been deposited in the Halifax Bank and i contacted the bank e-mail address. There was also a form that was to be filled up selecting one of the two options: Courier Delivery Or Bank Telegraphic Wire Transfer. I selected the courier delivery option and forwarded to the bank address ([email protected]. Then i got the reply after three days that the prize money has been forwarded to Omnifreight courier express and i was asked to contact their e-mail address. I contacted themand i got the doubtful reply that the delivery charges should be given before the prize money is accepted. And there were three service options and different delivery charges for each one.(1.Express delivery-24hrs: Rs.20000 2) Courier Regular:3-4 days =Rs.15, 500 & 3) Courier Economy:5-6 days=Rs.11, 000. I selected the third option and i got the reply today that the money should be deposited in their ICICI account so that i will receive the courier within few days. I don't know exactly what to do. Is this fraud?
