DeleteJust got this email. What is it supposed to mean?

DeleteI think, they want to collect your personal information to convince that you have won the prize. Later, they may ask you to deposit money in their account for the processing fee or something else. I you deposited then they will discontinue the communication. Their aim is only that they want to collect money from people somehow. They will not give you any cash prize. There are so many people who got cheated with this kind of mails/sms.
Deletei got an email from them but it was blank and it came with an attached .doc file named gg, which are my initials. i didn't open the file though because im scared it might be a virus
ReplyDeleteIf you use Linux OS, there won't be any security issue. Post the contents (in gg.doc) here. Somebody may also have got the same doc, so posting it may help them.
DeleteThis is the email address that it came from onf@sify.com
ReplyDeleteI got it too. I assume it is fake because there is an error in its language
