Was it really duplicated in the original email? That indicates someone being sloppy. And I doubt Chevron or Texaco would give out $750,000 that sloppily.

See this link Click Here regarding the name Chevron/Texaco.
2001, Chevron Corporation acquired Texaco to form ChevronTexaco.

On May 9, 2005, ChevronTexaco announced it would drop the Texaco moniker and return to the Chevron name. Texaco remains as a brand under the Chevron

And click here for the results of a search on the email address, which anyone from Chevron wouldn't use. ;)

oh it was duplicated in the subject line
and nothing in the email itself
the funniest part of this is i was talking to a guy from myspace

Try googling the claim number. I'd imagine that your personal ID number isn't all that unique.

Even if it is a new script, I can assure you that you will never win a lotto that you didn't enter, and no company would give a big pile of money to a random email address.
