    No no no no no! It's not M&S vouchers. Bill gates will send you money for using email. Or was it hotmail? Or coca cola?

    Absolute rubbish... Whoever sent it on to you should be beaten about the head with a can of spam. For irony.

    The fact that they're using a gmail account is a clear giveaway.
