brother,

I too received a call from the same guy from the same number. I didn't act suspicious, but I told him I wasn't in India and that he will have to wait as he had no other alternative. He was puzzled and kept the phone down. I asked him for his identity and proof that he was authentic and he had no answer. I guess these guys should be taken to task. If at all we manage to meet him in person make sure you have the necessary backup in place.
It is a fake email/sms from a scammer. Google, Yahoo, Rediff etc dont run such lotteries. You can receive such an email/sms named from anyone and you may even get a link to some fake lottery or lucky draw website. But its all a part of the scam to take your credit card number or charge you in some way or force you to send them a payment. Once they receive the payment its impossible to track down. By the way I would suggest you do not use gmail as it keeps all the data from its users though its deleted and it could be used against you anywhere. Be careful where you give out your personal info next time.
