    Can I recommend that other people follow my way of dealing with these scam emails. I start out by ASSUMING that they MUST be a scam, then I cut & paste the name of the company being used i.e. on this occasion ‘NOKIA GRANT AWARD 2010’
    into a search box, in my case ‘Google’. This will instantly put your mind at rest. I have tried this lots of times &, when as always, I find information from other recipients about the scam I can delete the email with total piece of mind. In the event that it WAS genuine, a company like Nokia would not want to miss such good advertising & thus would be bound to have put something somewhere on the net attached to their real own site.
