http://whois.domaintools.com/fuse.netYeah, sure, Mr. James Smith is working on dial-up...I'd say a backdoor on someone's PC.
Yep, didn't you know that US citizens can now win UK lotteries?

It's either that or, as I like to imagine, there's vaults full of unclaimed lottery money surrounded be confused office workers asking each other: "Why doesn't anyone EVER reply to our emails?!"
Much the same way I like to imagine a legitimate lab somewhere with scientists sitting in similar confusion telling each other: "I just don't understand it... guaranteed penis enlargement and yet nobody replies..."
But yeah... scam...

With that information the worst he can do is call you. I guess he could come to your house also but...I'm sure he's just a robot.
