I just received the VERY same email with the same phone # ( searched the number and it sent me here - surprising the number has not been shut down.

As described in this alert, Email received in new Zealand from Visa Awards, from alleged director Richard V. Morgan claimed $US1,000000 has been 'held' for details to be sent to confirm the winner's details.

I am not that gullible and no details have been sent- information to advise that the only international use of my credit card was to Holland America line to pay for hirage of formal clothing for an upcoming cruise- transaction was through a company called CRUSELINE FORMALWEAR.INC - Please advise other potential users of this site of the possibility of this scam.

Thanks.
