Perhaps not. Because, and we’re sure you guessed it, this is yet another scam email doing the rounds at the moment.
So if you get one like this mark it as spam, report it to your email service provider and then delete the pesky thing.
Because if you reply you’ll end up getting sucked in to a scam which will cost you thousands in admin fees or whatever else they call their dodgy charges. You’ll certainly never get £1,666,667!
