I won a TV/Cash: SPAM or not?
 

So, I got this email on my private email address telling me I need to claim my cash/TV to have it released. I have to pay 30$ on some site, I can send by bank too.

They did get my name, address, email: everything matches perfectly, so it looks pretty real.

They either got my email/address from sponsors, or I really did win some stuff from some company.

Question: Did anybody else got the same email?

Uhm without seeing it i can gaurantee you 99% its spam.

That was obviously my first thought, but it is a good scam if it is true. I replied to the email and got a message back.

The company is icmtcorp.
