Was in the news today here. Some 20 people arrested for this scam in Malaga, to the south of Spain. Apparently they were from central-america and some from the US as well and focused their efforts in Europe.

Gatso,

Your keyboard may be dirty, you seem to have accidentally added a question mark to the end of the subject, making it look like a question.  

I suspect a piece of lint or dirt randomly contacted the ? contacts inside your keyboard and placed it at the end of the subject line.  You might want to get that fixed.

Has anyone ever won a contest they didnt enter before?

I figured as much after I went to their website but was curious about the .IT extension.  Thus the whois.  I've seen it before with what looks like a legitiamiate company is actually ripping people off because of the wrong extension.  Hey at least I learned something today.
