I received an e-mail stating that your bank was in possession of a certain amount of money I supposedly got from Mozilla Firefox Online Promo. They request that I send a copy of the email I got to the branch of a German bank in Great Winchester Street London to obtain the funds but some of the info sent to me does not tally with the info I got on the Banks website. I was wondering if there is any truth in it. The person supposedly in charge is Philip Watson, Director, Mozilla Corporation Registered office: 6 Elstree Way Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1RN - United Kingdom 

 . Please let me know if such a person exists and if necessary I will have the email forwarded to you. Feedback would be most appreciated.
