I had received a message on the 19th of Dec.2019 giving me the news that I had won the PepsI Award of Pounds 5,00,000.00 on my mobile number. I responded and supplied them some information about myself.
Finally on 27th Dec.2019 they asked me to pay Pounds 650 as their legal charges towards processing of my case.I told them to deduct it from my prize money. They told it is not possible because--

Then I wrote to them that I have a friend in Ireland if you agree he can pay you on my behalf.They said we do not accept payments from 3rd parties.Then I told them I am faced with some financial domestic problem which hopefully will be solved in about 7-10 days.
7-days have gone by but I have not yet received any message on the subject from them.Hopefully they will not.I was doubtful right from the start. However became certain when they opposed involvement of 3rd party and asked for a payment..
