This is kinda old, this guys been scamming people for years. I've heard of similar scams where people say you won some money and they need acount transfering information. Well, the internet is a great thing, but a dangerous place. Don't trust anyone.
except me, Give me your money!!!

I would take that 30% of 22,000,000.

That's 6,600,000.

Not bad. (If it was real.)
