Hell, if I had just won a million GB pounds, what the hell would I want with a bloody Toyota. Man I would be sitting in Ferrari, Mercedes or Rolls Royce or something, definitely not the Toyota Highlander. Sorry you Toyota guys, let’s be realistic here.

The thing that really stands out that has scam written all over it is that they used a hotmail account as their email address. Now I ask you, what professional company would use a bloody hotmail address for an important business email? Shit, even I don’t use them except for the least important of my emails, normally when signing on for some crap I found on the Internet that may possibly lead to spam email.

Anyway, if you get this one, whatever you do, do not reply to it, delete it immediately.

    I wish my luck would get better.
