These scams are nothing new and this you are mentioning is just one variation, there are many many others being used that folks need to be alert for.
Using common sense on the internet is a must, any e-mail claiming you have won but didn't know you had entered, check cashing scams schemes where you are requested to cash a large check because the requestor has some song and dance why they can't cash it etc etc where you, keep a percentage for cashing the check then send the rest to the check provider, then your bank finds out the check was fraudulent, guess what you now owe the bank that money entirely, and deal that seeks you to setup a banking account or send your banking info is most likely a scam and attempt.
Simple rule of thumb. many things offered by legit companies etc are easily verfified, anthing else that sounds to good to be true, most like is just that "to good to be true"
