| Harlot, Never heard of such and frankly I would call Peugeot and ask what kind of publicity stunt is that. They'll probably ask you to send it to them so that they see what it is about. I wouldn't reply to this for sure. LOA |

| looks like spam to me. |

| Thats what I'm thinking SPAM,but I've always had them ask for bank account #'s so this one confussed me. But if it was true not even sure how much money that would be in US dollars it would be nice. And i seen what the car looks like ,it's ok but I still (slap my driving hand) like my JEEP. I'll see if I can find a web site for this place,I'll post what I find. |

| If that is a verbatum text of what the message says, then the writer definitely has English as a second language and not very good at it. |

| Hi Harlot; If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably isn’t. JC |

Phishing. And like the Scotsman said, not from anyone with a genuine British use of the language.  |

| They are asking for enough information to find the rest for an identity theft. Slàinte, Patch |

Maybe when they get my e-mail and see that I saved their company from some form of embarrassment, they will feel the need to say Thank You and give me the money and car. So just how much is that?  |

| I received this back from them: Dear Mrs.Shipe, Thank you for informing Peugeot Automobile of the email you have received. I confirm that it is a fraudulent email (a scam). Consequently, if you receive an e-mail from a person or a compagny pretending to be Peugeot, please make sure that it concerns an official Peugeot Website. Otherwise, please do not answer them. However, I have passed on your message to the relevant department at Peugeot in order to be informed. Please feel free to contact me should you require any further information.
