It is not true, it is a scam sent by thieves who are attempting to steal your money.

Just ignore and delete emails like this. Reporting them to ActionFraud is futile as all they will do is acknowledge the report but reject it beccause it is "not a police recorded crime".

Recv'd an email re: above. What a scam. I don't give personal information to anyone I don't know. Would you? There s/b a way to stop the SCAM.
