Being of curious nature, I checked the Toyota website & found this:-
"TOYOTA INTERNATIONAL LOTTO", ETC. Toyota Motor Corporation and its affiliated companies have no connection whatsoever with any lotteries that inform members of the public by e-mail that they have won a prize, even if the "Toyota" name appears in the e-mail, such as e-mails from the so-called "Toyota International Lotto", "Toyota Car Promotions", "Toyota Car International Promotion Program" and "Toyota Fortune Lotto Draw". Any such e-mail was not sent by us or with our permission. Members of the public should exercise extreme caution before responding to any such e-mail or providing any personal information or money, as any e-mail using the "Toyota" name and claiming to award a lottery prize is highly likely to be part of a fraudulent scheme.
