If you have to be told wheter it's a scam or not;

GO FOR IT and get rich!

I have got that email before its a scam.

Sorry everyone.
I was really looking forward to flying you all out here for a friendly 'celebrate- my- newfound- wealth' party, but it looks as though my $US 500 thousand (in my money at the moment approx. $AUS 800 thousand) and my equal amount in Euros has not materialised. Alas, alack, and woe is me.

I want you to know that I thought of you
