Don't be too greedy for Gmail $500 Won!

I did received email from admin@gmail.com recently saying I won $500. The following is the email content:



Don't be too greedy for Gmail $500 Won! My first thought was it was a fake and phishing email. They are too clever to use the admin@gmail.com address to trick people, and the links is belong to gmail: starting with http://mail.google.com/members/prizes.php?

I did click the link and it link me to a complatelly gmail.com website and ask me to send e-money(e-gold, pay pal) to them before for claiming the money. You see, it only cost about US$10.78(not sure for the money already, but it not more than US$20). I don't have any e-money. So cannot claim the money.

Today I tried to seach for a answer, that the result:

Gmail 500 dollar winners?? Is it real? or JOke? or a SCAM?

Then I retry the link today, it became a broken link now, then I noticed the link is a redirect link, they really do a really good trick. The redirect web site they use is: http://www.fx.to/ They CHEAT MONEY redirect link is http://fwqi.fx.to.
