What do people think? And, other than calling the phone number, what harm could emailing a reply do just in case it is genuine?

I do enter a lot of online draws so it could, potentially, be genuine!! Not that I'm holding my breath!!  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

Times must be hard at BMW, their staff have to use windows live free email adresses. Maybe TB's don't buy a beemer campaign is hurting them.
Its a scam mate leave it alone.

I allways paste that sort of info into google, there are forums full of complaints.

For a bit of fun I fill them in with the local police stations address

Putting the 1st line as POLICE HEADQUARTERS

Thought it was!! I'm not stupid enough to fall for the advance courier payment scam so would have been safe but thought I'd tap the wealth of knowledge here!!!! I like the POLICE HEADQUARTERS idea though!!  

Thanks guys.
