Let's be frank, if you receive a free gift with no knowledge of the sender, and you agree to accept it, is Greed at play, right. And you agree to offer your credit cards details to a stranger at your door, it's foolishness at play, right. It's the same with someone calling your number and say you've won something, and the caller require you to wire him a fee as admin charges. Greed is the cause for being cheated.
To be clear, it is not a hoax per se: it actually happened but this was in Australia in 2008. The technology exists for a copycat if someone is so bold.
Mr Tan, this is old hoax, chain email.
