Clever Heineken Scam

I know that we all get spam e-mails, & personally I'm tired of those Nigerian ones that want to send me millions of dollars if I only send them my bank account information. rolleyes

Did you buy the beer online or enter a drawing?
I really like spicy food. I mostly put Jalapenos on a lot of my food.

Nope.
Completely unsolicited.
I'm sure that if I were to reply, they would tell me that I won some outrageous amount of money, and need my bank info to send me the money.

We must be connected somehow, I got one of these exact emails about two weeks ago, it looked as fake as this one. I of course didn't respond because it was too obvious that it was fake, but I doubt the owners of Heinekin can stop these scammers, they will simply move on to another brand or different con.
