Our winners are assured of the utmost standards of confidentiality, and press anonymity until the end of proceedings, and beyond where they so desire. Be further advised to maintain the strictest level of confidentiality until the end of proceedings to circumvent problems associated with fraudulent cliams.

Naturally, with the number in England and me in California, am I going to (a) call the number (which may very well be real) or (b) use the e-mail address (which is fraudulent)?

If I'm stupid enough to fall for the scam, of course I'm stupid enough to do the time zone conversion and make the phone call...

Total To Date: $167,970,000
