I just got this email saying that I won a lottery. Honestly speaking, I don't remember that I enter into lottery promotions with Microsoft..Besides I never hear that Microsoft have a lottery program. I search in snopes.com that this is a Big Fraud or Scam that originated from Nigeria.
I am posting this to let you know that if you receive this kind of email please don't entertain them because this is a big fraud. Otherwise that you really enter into a lottery and you have a receipt with your winning numbers.
I also remember that my sister also encountered this in her email 2 years before. She contacted the email given to her..just like in their letter below, saying that she need to transfer money through Moneygram and the address was in Nigeria when in fact the person she contacted was in UK...
THIS IS SUCH A VERY BIG FRAUD...SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL IF YOU RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE..IMMEDIATELY MOVE/PUT IT IN IN YOUR SPAM MAILS!!!! CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON THE MICROSOFT EMAIL LOTTERY.
