British pount from shell petrolium. it is true or not.please mail it.

I only use sasol and they targetting me. GRRRRR
Hello, i received a massage saying i won R5 million Rands and i should call Chris; i did call and they sent me messages and forms to fill in that my prize money will be delivered to me according to my information. so i fill in the form correctly, they told me that it is not a scam and that i should not be scared about lossing money etc.... so i did all they told me to do but finally they said the money i won will be transferred into my bank account that i should provide them with my bank details, i did so it took about 3 to 4 days they called me to tell me that the money is in my account that i should contact my bank for verification. I thought it was all a joke or another scam but truley the money was in my bank account and my bank confirmed that it came from a genuine source. so i think most of the winning are real! but most people fall into the wrong hands of those fraud and scam peoples.

I and chris are communicating about this, but I still believe it is a scam

No right minded person would believe such if not broke or in need. I too won R3 MILLION RANDS just earlier (08:18:25) texted from Mr Smith. Ha ha. I might be broke , but don't joke.

MRS. MARY HOOK.
I sent an email querying this and received a reply from "Chris Rensburg" confirming my win. At this point I did a google check and discovered this to be listed on several sites as a SMS scam, funnily all listing the same "winning" reference. I promptly reported this as a spam to Facebook, Blocked "Mary Hook" and put this in my status.
I also received via Facebook Inbox notice that I have won!! Also the Mary person and her page check out
