Are they asking for any personal information. I dont see them asking for anything, not even your name. What could they do with your email address? not much, i think everyone has my aol email address, it is old. i just let that thing sit and fill up... its at something like 8000 emails

The scam is that like the 419 scams (Nigerian letters) they'll say there's some fee you must pay before you can claim your prize.

Bait him. I always wanted to do that. Just string him along for a while with a bogus email address and have some fun. I'm sure if you created a Yahoo email address and replied from that he wouldn't know the difference.

Email the guy anyway and see what they require you to do to claim for a laugh, im betting you have to give them your bank account details as thats how they scam people.
