    That looks fishier than a tuna sandwich with a side of crabsticks.

    Bad grammar gives the game away, plus the way they say "your email has won" doesn't sound right - why would your email win instead of you? And its highly unlikely you'd get a round payment of spot on ?1m.

    Just googled it and yes, its fake.
