  Believe me, when I first learned to make an email and then received such email, I fell for it and got
  the email printed and called the person but dad didn't allow me to use his bank acct, then the next day someone told me that these are fake. I felt like killing myself.

  A quick whois search revealed that the website chooke.com is actually owned by Tucows.com!! While chooke.org.cn, chooke.com.cn, etc are registered to people in China..
