Mr. Marshall Broderick - Mary Parker - Post Bank Asked that I send 950.34 pounds for a funds transfer on lottery win in e-mail drawing London England
This company, Post Bank, sent in email that I won a drawing by chosing e-mail addresses. The prize was 3,500,000 pounds sterling. They required some information which included a beneficiary; then in the next email said that the British court approved and a draft had been made, witnessed, and approved.
At that point, for the transfer of funds to my account in Bank of America, I must send 950.34 pounds for the transfer.

This is a "Get lots of money for (almost) nothing" scam. People LOVE free!

You are supposed to send (by wire, I bet) about US$1900 to someone you don't know in God-knows-where, and most assuredly you can NEVER get it back. After you send that US$1900 they may, or may not, come up with a reason to ask you for more money, like maybe for insurance. Hey, you bit once, maybe you will bite twice! And to boot, they have your bank account number?
After they get as much of your money as they can, you will never hear from them again.... except that you will start receiving more emails from other people about other money you 'won'.
People can claim anything in an email. It is YOUR responsibility to prove that the claims they made to you are true. Can you prove that ANY of THIS is true?
And do switch your funds to another bank, or at least to another bank account number. And change any other persona/account information you gave out.

Mr. Broderick instructed to send 950.34 pounds for funds transfer to Mary Parker no. 8 GreenCoat Place London SWIP 1PL United Kingdom
In an email sent March 7, 2008, It was stated that I have until March 11 to send the payment of 950.34.
There is time to send the payment, I want the prize, but I fear that they will ask a payment for another thing which they did not mention yet. Is there a way at all to get a refund if I find yet other obligation before the prize.
