[mohamed]

[R Soni Ahmedabad- India]

Why BMW doen't take any action against such fraud mail? is it part of BMW marketig plann?

[hellokittyhatesy ou]

I'm also a lucky winner in France, yeaaaahhhhhhhhh!! Winning a car is possible but such a car I really doubt but when saw the thousands of pounds i had 'won'it looked really like if they wanted to crook me! I don't know how they could gain something that way but be sure that they do not do it for fun.
