Its a scam.
Any random e-mail you receive claiming you have won something is a scam. I'm surprised you gave them your phone number. Tell them that you can catch the red eye and pick it up. Anybody who would give you sterling winnings, would privatley deliver the goods with a secure and bonded delivery. I figure if you gave them your phone number, you also gave them your PO#, address and full name. I would be very careful if I were you.
Its illegal, but catching them is really hard. And getting anyone to even try to catch them is even harder. I have looked into it and found that its commonly people in internet cafes overseas that are contacting you. Often they have people in Canada/US that help them with their schemes, it can get very elaborate. PS... TELL THEM TO SEND IT COLLECT. LOL

Sravaneee_239 - I guess that if you gave them any information about your bank account(s), THEN YOU HAD BETTER START WATCHING YOUR ACCOUNT AT THE BANK < TALK TO THE BANK ABOUT THIS <HE WILL BE ABLE TO HELP AND TRY TO STOP ANY UNATHORIZED WITHDRAWLS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT< :: HOPE I HAVE GOT THIS TO YOU IN TIME!!!! GOOD LUCK< & GOD BLESS :::: F.B.E.
