Email Reward Program Scam

I got an email this morning from this scam rewards program, and it actually made it through my junk filter which was very surprising so im guessin they are using some tricks to do this. I called them with a number (deleted it now) and they asked for personal information and a holding fee to claim the reward! A holding fee for an email rewards program? REeally!? The email scam they sent is attached below if you want to read it…
