This came today and spam did not kick it out. It has to be some type of scam. Has any else seen or heard of this before. I am thinking it is similar to some of the phone scam where if you make the call you are charged huge sum for the call. The 1.3 million refundable loan stikes me as the amout they want to charge you??
