Hi guys,
Recently a BMW UK sent me an email,
saying that My name came up on their lottery, and I can win a 530i Msport.
The only thing that confused me is, First I'm located in the United States, why would BMW UK contacted me?
Second, is it a scam or I can get a real 530i?
And Third, Wouldn;t be 535i though in the U.S.?
Thanks Guys,
Yoko.

So how do they benefit?? Is it just a matter of getting your contact info for more spam?
