This scam also almost got me. It had me hoping it was true but when I received the second email from Mr. James Martin Banda who is my supposed claims agent asking for my bank account and other details plus payment of a lawyer's fee if I can not personally come to South Africa to claim the prize then I started having doubts. Thanks for the internet I found out it was a scam. So, if there will be a move to catch these evil persons, I am very much willing to testify and help. Let this be a warning to others who will receive the same email.

this is what i get.and this is a damn job.i got this mail when i am in a rough financial situation.so i got existed.i think we don't wanna worry about this.because my trust is jesus
will punish them...god bless you all..!
