I revieved such email, I know there is no thing is true, but I followed them just to see where the game well end. I sent personal information and they asked me to pay a charge for the delivery of the prize and they can not cut it from the prize. So how it comes, i won a very huge prize but they can not cut the charge from it, HOW STUPID THEY ARE?

I am stefano soligno the suppose winner of one of the awards according to Mr Poul Wool and Mr Steve Leo; I want to know how much is true this fantastic story and how you can help in the complication occured for the money transfer.

Please repply me asap since I need to be fisically and mrntally calm.

Thank you Stefano Soligno

Reply

If you wanted to test out how true they are, give out fake informations. They will reply you with more information, and if they demand an amount of money before they can send you those “awards” – that’s a scam. There’s such case too in my country, but that’s not via email, but sms. Those scammers says they won a great amount of money from a contest of a popular TV show in my country, and they need to proceed them the processing fee before they will have their prize.

So far, many has been scammed. Say no to greed and work with such case wisely. Freedew do make sense.

Reply

they are insisting and i have no time can you please verify the case?

Reply

What do they insist? And in most scam cases, they will tell you there’s a limitation of time and you have to do it quickly. What they do is actually simple. Says you won a great amount of money so you’ll be attracted. Later on, ask for some money before they send you the money. And there will be a time limitation. If you don’t pay the amount by sometime, they will forfeit your award. This makes you have no time to think about it. As I’ve said, these are all scams. To verify, just simply ask Microsoft or any other company they say they are from and ask if there’s such contest.

Do not send them any money

I received this e-mail I receive alot of scam mail and they are all the same. Nice huh they cant work for a living so they try to take the money from people that work hard for it or the ones that barely get by.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Online Customer Service.

I understand form your message that you received a winner notification e-mail. I realize the importance of your issue and will help you in reaching the appropriate resource of support.

Phishing is a type of deception designed to steal your money or your identity, by tricking you into disclosing information like credit card numbers, passwords, or other confidential personal information. Online scam artists do this by sending fake e-mail that appears to come from a source you would normally trust – like your bank or credit card company.

It isn’t too hard to conclude if the email is a real or false one. It’s just common sense. Whenever it says Microsoft, it’s false. Microsoft stated it clearly that they did not organize any event that will win you such money. Therefore, the email you received is just a scam.

Any suggestion from any one. Kindly contact on my email. I shall be very grateful

this is such bullshit. people sitting around with nothing better to do than try to trick or fool other people. microsoft should get off their ass and file a lawsuit against the ones who are responsible for trashing their name.

Reply

This is a mail message I recieved! I actually thought I might have won something but now reading this I can see that it’s a scam. I just want to know something – I already replied to these people and they said that, in order to recieve my prize money I only have to pay for the courier? Is this their way of scamming you out of your money? Or would the courier never have come cause they were only looking for my information?

Reply

i m one of the winner.but i want to know about this is true or fraudulant.please e mail me.

Reply

do not filled this form
plz ask his rule &regulation
u read and than do u want

I recieved one of the Microsoft e mails and thought it would be great to win the money they were offering to give me. I followed it up a little by checking the information they gave me for the courier. I phoned directory enquiries and the company name and address, there was no phone number attached to it. (suspicion arises). I also called the british mobile phone number on the letter and i talked to a man that spoke very bad english. I am from Scotland. I then entered the draw name into my search engine and found plenty of people had been sent the same letter with the same winning numbers as me. uch: I am very dissapointed that microsoft (as big as they are) can’t stop the e mails that are being circulated in their name. I will be sending my email to postmaster@ yahoo so hopefully they will be able to do something. Thanks for all the information. I hope these guys don’t get a penny. Treat all e mails as spam if you don’t know for sure who they come from. DON’T SEND PERSONAL INFORMATION, MONEY OR BANK DETAILS.

Reply

I received one of these winning e-mails almost everyday. Sometimes I reply to see how they will they respond and it always end up asking money.

Is there any, some sort of police body where we could report this and for them to monitor and eventually put these people behind bars?

Reply

you can report it to microsoft or the person who is seemingly sending you the e-mails.

Reply

i have also got the same mail but when i call these numbers they are talking us regularly !!! but i don’t know why they are doning that !!!

Reply

I received the same spam mails for many times these days that the scammers say I won the sums of cash. Why they can spread such frauddulent information on net without an end? Is there any law to govern them and to stop them?

Reply

To see MSN and Yahoo was surprising, then I asked myself if I had involved in any lottery on internet, but no… I sent an email to mentioned address (mremmanuelloiseau_77@yahoo.co.uk) to ask if it was true but nobody answered nor rejected… Then I searched in Google “MSN Award Team”, I met this page and was happy to see the truth…
Good luck…

Let’s not think about other aspect, but just some logic. Do you think a Microsoft employee, the giant software company, will use its competitor, Yahoo mail to send out notification to its user? That doesn’t make any sense.

I hope no one will ask again if their email is false or true. There is no free lunch in the world and before you post your email, I will say it’s a scam.

At last this is my message to indian brothers,as they are not crooks and are most in above list,please donot get excited after receiving such mails.And let us use the internet in the way for which it is in existance.

take care

I received one of those e-mails too :grr: I get them a lot in different styles… As the old addage says “if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is”. The one I got was so unprofessional looking that with the appearance alone sends a red flag. I’m glad that there is information on this out there, and I happened on this site. Always check things out, and never respond or give out personal information. Generally speaking, you would not find any type of lottery that is legitimate that would approach you this way.

It is interesting to note that lot of spam mails are sent in the e-mail stating winning of lottery tickets, unclaimed deposits redumption by signing as the next kin of the deceased, a cancern patient who wants to invest money in social organisations etc.
Is there any methed to trace these time-passers who attempts to misuse the information of a victim and also collect small money in the form of bank charges, courer charges etc. How we can catch them? From where these miscreatents collect emais of othersl?

All these are spurious mails, evident from following:
* If they can pay huge prize amount, then why they ask for petty amount towards courier charges, Bank Account opening etc.? Why do not they deduct the same from the prize amount?
* They do not use mail id of microsoft or sponsor and use Id, say like of XXX.yahoo.co.uk

How to check them, even if you are not satisfied that they may not be wrong:
* Provide wrong infomation of Ticket No., Batch No. etc. They are probably going to authenticate your false information. If they do so, it is a simple case of fraud.
* Put the ticket no., batch no., name of alleged sponsor or fidiciary agent in your search engine and you will be getting never ending array of results and even you will be surprised to see mails written to others, having the same content and even same ticket no., bathch no. as yours.
* Tell them to retain a substantial sum from the prize or even offer them, say 25% of prize amount, if someone comes personally and deliver the cheque to you in your country, instead of paying petty amount towards courier charges etc. Or even you can say to them, that your own relative or friend, duly authorised by you, will collect the cheque/ cash personally. Look to their response.
* Ask from them the detail of winners from London. Probably their will be none or spurious people like them only. You can ask from the those spurious people, the copies of Bank Accounts where these huge sums were credited.

They perform these acts, with following intent:
* To extract your personal detalis, including credit card No., passwords etc. so as to misuse them. So instead of taking from them, you may land into paying/ suffering handsome amount.

Stringent legal actions be taken by big giants like Microsoft or by Government of UK, so that their name is not misused and public is not way-laid. Even sites, like this is a good forum, for educating each other.

They are parasites to the society, who exploit the human nature. Be witty and apply your intelligence, to their moves and continue to perform your duties diligently, not getting affected by the false allurements. Be contended and be thankful to the God for what He has already bestowed on us, instead of crying for things which we do not get, becasue of our own past karma’s. We shall use our human form of life for higher goals, viz. gettiing out of clutches of repeated birth and death, recognising our true constituitional position as a soul and striving to serve the Lord, both on earth and in His abode, after we leave this body or shall follow our own respective religious principles, in true spirit. Otherwise we will be befooled by illusion, like these spam cases.

Best wishes to all and sundries.

It rather surprising to observe that once we respond these bullshit lotter winnings, unclaimed deposits who want investment in the country of the person to whom they send emai, . cancer patient who wants support for investment his/her money in amthor place or in a country who received the email, and other sort of gimmicks, various mails start pouring wnich are of the same cetegory. Hence, it is obvious that a group of miscreants are indulged in this type of trade,a soft forgery in thse modus operandi. The receipient of the mail therefore, should very caucious while deeling in this type of mails and play safe.

To begin the final step of the claims process, which is the shipment of your winning cheque to you. With regards to this, there are three options open to you, you are required to select the most convenient of the three.

The options, together with their associated conditions are presented below: You are required to pay the necessary courier charges to enable us send you your cheque and other claim documents.

That if a reverse payment is made, and something goes wrong, that we/you cannot sue the courier company or insurance company to recover the full value of the fund as stipulated in the cheque since payment for insurance cover was not made at point of mailing.

Attn: Alla Naresh,

In response to your enquiries i use this medium to inform you that we do not have an affiliate courier service in India otherwise we would not have asked for delivery charges in the first instance, delivery is been made directly from the U.K. to India hence the need for the charges to be fully verified before dispatch of winning parcel can be effected, presently all modalities to ensure that this delivery is made has been arranged, all that is needed is your payment for the delivery, we are to render prompt and expeditious service to you as we have an obligation to fulfil.

As regards account information, our preferred mode of payment is via Western Union Money Transfer which we are informed the facilities for sending money out of your country is not available, and we would not be making it easy if we insist on this mode of payment hence the need for an alternative mode which we deemed easier for you and also your payment can be easily verified. Regarding your mail, Mr. S. Lawrence Thangzom is presently in London and he will be the one who is to deliver your package to you. As soon as the payment is made into to the account provided to you, we be notify by the bank.

Make the payment as instructed and have your package couriered to you without any form of complication or delay.

Email us the payment slip as soon as payment is made

I received an e-mail just like that also. And the courier service is also a fake e-courier. I contacted the REAL E-COURIER and I had ask if they had an employee by the name of “FRED MARCUS OR ALEXANDRA JOHNSON” and I was told no by the represenative on the live chat. The person thought that sent the letter was a “DONALD GRAY” and the HEAD CUSTOMER SERVICE CARE WAS A “KATHY BRIGGS”.These guys are a bunch of loosers. They claim to be working for Microsoft Promotions yet they have a Yahoo account.

I noticed also that these people always use the same winning numbers, same address 20 Cravens Park Harlsden and then the courier address 40 Adler street. I mean what the f*** is their problem.

I also keep on receiving letters via e-mails regarding a promotions award stating I ahd won again 500,000GBP. Everytime I get a letter it always has the same ticket and batch numbers. I mean how stupid do these people think we are? And get this it’s the same person a Mr. Donald Gray and a Mrs. Kathy Briggs. Like I’ve said and i’ll say it again “

Recently I received a mail from microsoft aol promo informing me about the prize winning information and asked me as usual the submit the particularsto some e-mail address, and finally they asked me to pay corrier charges and insurnace charges, oficourse, i didnot paid anything, and I verified with microsoft web and now I was convinced that Even a big company like Microsoft’sname is also being used for sending spam messages.Ofcourse, this may be one of the experience to be careful in future.However, I have also received no.of other mails from uk lotteryetc, and I thanq verymuch since i have gone through all this I came to know this type of hoax messages.// Sarma Emani

Whoever received a promotions notification DO NOT attempt to fall for this scam. If you noticed to each time that these loosers send an e-mail all of the winning numbers are ALL THE SAME! They are only trying to steal your money and identity.

Reply

I recieved one of these e-mails and this was from a Tom Williams but now they changed the REF number now its BTD96807. And because I was taught that sometimes if it sounds to good to be true, than it probably is. So I did a search and found all these coments posted. So thank you everyone for posting these comments. If more people took a couple of minutes to help make these wanna be scam artists more known, maybe innocent people would not be victimized and taken for their hard earned money, (so that these idiots sitting around with nothing better to do, can take peoples money without having to work for it. If they need money that bad haven’t they ever heard of selling plasma, having a yard sale, whatever.

Reply

Now they became even smarter. They don’t ask for the money themselfs, but you going to have to pay for the shipping. Cheapest $609. If you want them to transfer that money on your bank account, (open a new one for a $1, don’t give them a regular one), they are asking for 4000 GBR. About $8000… They become smarter and smarter…

And I tought I’m already a millioner…

Dear Noel Pascal

It’s great to know that I am a “winner”. However I need to have further details like
1) How you will be sending the winning amount? Electronic transfer?? Or by Cheque??? And you are not asking for relevant details.
2) Is it a cash prize or some equivalent item??
3) What about taxes applicable??
4) Shall I take all this as a fun??
5) Please prove your authenticity.
6) Where are you located??
7) In case of dispute where we shall go in court?? In your country or my country?? Which law is applicable in case of dispute??
Please give some contact numbers like police in your jurisdiction for our confirmation.
9) Why you are using Yahoo and Hotmail mail IDs??? Why there is no consistency? And why you are not using Microsoft’s mail ID??
10) What personal ID you are asking for, in your form……. There is no guidelines for ‘personal ID types’ in your form!!
Please answer each and every question above (if you are genuine) and if possible throw more light on the matter above.

Regards

Hi, i recieved the mail, then recieved the information i needed to send them, i rang them (BIG MISTAKE) searched and found this page.

Thanks

I received such mail few days ago. Now I have to think is it truth or not, but it seems theese e-mails are SCAMS.
I wonder how theese people can do such things.

We too recieved a e-mail saying that we had won 1, 35000 brittsh pounds,

I also received this “promotion winner” email today and the senders have got to be kidding! Major tip off of a spam: Microsoft is based in Washington State not London. I scanned some of the previous entries regarding this email and was surprised how many people were not 100% sure this was a phishing email.

Reply

You know, I just playing around with them but after they request me to fill in the Personal data, i just copy & paste this discussion to my email and comment as “FYI” after that, no more reply from the “Agent”. Very stupid and what Malay will says “Bodoh macam kambing” to this kind of scammers. But my IT friend mention that if we refuse to receive this kind of email, simply mark as Spam and once mark it, it will forever marked as spam? anybody?? is it the proper way??

I have recently experienced a problem related to this topic. I began receiving hundreds of returned e-mails a day to my account telling me that the message I was attempting to send was undeliverable. The message was the Microsoft Award Promotion e-mail. The only thing that I can figure out is that someone got into my e-mail account and started sending out these messages.

If anyone knows anything about how this could happen or what I can do to stop it, I would appreciate the input.

Reply

Yeah this is definitely crap! Please do not send these people your information! Please do not be an idiot! And I say that in the nicest way possible lol. I think from now on when you guys get these messages you should just delete them without even opening them. Because if you’ve really won something from a legitimate company like Microsoft they’re going to call your house and they won’t have to ask for your phone number because they’re Microsoft and they can get the information. So just keep in mind, any legitimate company will not send you an e-mail to inform you of a LARGE amount of money you’ve won. I got one of these too a while back and I don’t even open them anymore because it’s a lie and a scam and it’s always gonna be a lie and a scam. Anyway, just don’t do anything stupid like giving them ANY of your personal information. Later!

i received a similar mail telling me i have won 420,000 us dollars and that i shud come over to S/Africa for the claim after the signing of CLAIM OF AFFIDAVIT and when i said i cant they gave me a procedure on how to send 550 us dollars to assist me in processing the forms so that i can claim my cash within a period of 2 weeks.infact initially,i was so happy when i learnt it was organise by microsoft and it was plans towards successful hosting of S/Africa 2010.well thanks a lot for your advice.

I also received this spam e-mail,the price money was 1.8 million GBP. Microsoft give me address like Microsoft Promotion,Thames Valley Park, Reading RG6WG, United Kingdom. http://www.msn.com. It is fake address. I checked with British Embassy. They told me they receive such e-mail spam everyday. After that lottery claim officer told me further transaction of my money will be done by Citibank of South Africa. The People faxed me all details including Price Claim Certificate with duplicate Citibank form,then I checked duplicate form with the original Citibank form where I found that the logo of Citibank was different. Then these people like BARRISTER BOSCH SCHOEMAN (South African lawyer), PHILIP MORGAN (fake Citibank officer South Africa), ANDREW ZIMMERMAN (Lottery claim officer Fake Microsoft) asked me an advance money of US$5500 for their professional service charge through money gram. SO BECAREFULL. WE HAVE TO SOLVED THESE FRAUDLENTS BY KILLING THEM.

Reply

I received an email too… i filled the form, and they send me my certificate and a lot of things.. actually, they didn’t aske me money or much information… i gave them a fake information, and know, they said that they have trouble to send my price o_O It is real? I really want to know how it works… My agent was a British agent named Paul Morgan, and i actually talk to him… I don’t wanna send my bakn information, but i repeat… they didn’t ask me for money or passwords, not even my credit cards details… just a bank account to send the money and the swift code (in some banks there’s a code for international amounts transfers) but nothing else… I really apreciate some help… I’m kind of believeing that o_O

I thought that it was funny to get something from Micro Soft (right then I knew it was a scam) but to see that the response email was to a yahoo account…hmmm…. Anyway, I’m pasting my email here for all to see as well. I also like how I’m a US citizen but received something for the U.K.

Looking at the earlier posts…I cannot belive this is still going on. Please do not get caught up in this hoax!!!

Reply

I also received an email but the guy stated in the email exists on the bank’s website, and the return email is actually form the bank, not yahoo. please let me know if it may be true in this case?

Reply

Also the email he sends back to me are not automated emails that are huge and list a variety of things, they are actually short and to the point. When I told him that I would not pay the insurance money, he said he would pay half and i would only have to pay the other half. i old him I can’t do that and I am waiting to see what he says. If he says he will pay until I get the check should I say ok?

Reply

I just now got this email, and wow, did I want to puke! I like the rest of the people who get these get angry. What can a person do? I hope and pray that some people do not get so caught up in this that they believe the bull that is in the letter and actually send in any information. I know they aren’t asking for money right now, but what happens if you answer them? I wager that they will ask for some kind of “fee” for processing the transaction. My skin just crawles when I see what some will do to make money.

Reply

Hey you guys. I just wanted to let you know that people do actually work on this stuff. I believe that people who work in “Hi-Tech Crimes” work on these cases but the difficulty is when it is based abroad (i.e. south africa, etc). I forget what I heard was the reason but please do not believe any of the crap that they say! Honestly, if you read any of the previous responses you kinda get whats coming to you if you dont heed anyone’s warning.

hi everyone!
i got a similar letter from Great Britain. Shame on em, i say. you know, what i dont understand is why someone doesnt just follow u/ on all these addresses and throw the bums in jail or an English version of a jail. Then again, these folks are rather like a bad flu virus that mutates and changes to avoid detection. Again, its not worth the money to chase them down. unfortunately, all they have to get is one unlucky believer and theyre rolling in it. Boooooo!

ive deleted these goofy things all the while develo/ing a bad need to tell at least one of these folks off. Finally, i did. Something to the order, [uh, you really ex/ect me to believe this/ Get real!]

That was nice.

you know, maybe we ought to do the same thing. overflow their email boxes with all these you, too, have won this $1,000,000. Etc.,etc., etc.

Reply

Hello everyone…
I just received one of those e-mails saying I won 500.000 pounds. The subject was:” THANK YOU FOR CONTRIBUTING TO OUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS) YOUR EMAIL I.D HAVE WON (£500,000)”. I knew that had to be some spam…
I was going to delete it straight away, but I decided to read it first as I was feeling curious. You don’t win 500.000 pounds everyday, so I had to confirm if that was true!
I noticed the e-mail was sent today (Sunday) at 3:25 am (2:25 am in the U.K.) mmm, I thought: This people work really hard doing overtime on weekends and everything. It has to suck having to work so much to earn some money while notificating others they won such big amount by doing nothing! Just owning a free e-mail address!!
Then I see the head letter… wow! A London address with post code and all:
Microsoft Award Team
20 Craven Park, Harlesden
London NW10,United Kingdom
Batch numbers and other sort of things…
I must confess I started dreaming a bit… I never believe any of these mails but I was hoping for once I would be wrong.
I keep on reading and it says that Yahoo and Microsoft… blah, blah… (Since when are these two together? Aren’t they competitors?)
I have to contact my Mr.Terry Martins
(VERIFICATION DEPARTMENT MANAGER)
Email: msnverificationmanager5@hotmail.com
And there’s some numbers too:
Tel: +44-703-195-4571
+44-703-195-4618
Fax: +44 870 471 6651
I know London numbers, and they always start by +44 207 and +44 208. This numbers must be mobile phones, or some dodgy numbers where they charge you a lot per minute. I start getting more suspicious.
I decide to do some research, and then I find all the comments here… I cannot believe I was tempted to replay, but the fact they didn’t ask for money or any bank details or credit card number, made think this wasn’t a fraud.
I’m actually flying to London in 3 days… (I travel there very often) and I’m tempted to reply to them and tell them I’ll collect my check personally at 20 Craven Park, Harlesden and see whether they agree, hahaha. I don’t even need to open an bank account in London as I already have got one…
Now I’m laughing at myself for even hesitating this could be real, but I feel upset for all they people that got tricked by this heartless scum.
I’m going to forward this to my friends to avoid that can happen to any of them.
Regards to everyone <3

Then, they called me, and a lady told me I have to choose one of the methods to claim the prize, so I told her what I thought about that, and she just asked me if I wanted the prize or not, I told her not.

A few hours later I received another phone call, this time was a guy, he started asking for information and explaining things I didn’t get because he had a really bad English, I asked him to send all the information to my e-mail, but they haven’t yet….

This people have no boundaries, they are calling and they don’t even identify themselves at the phone…..just don’t trust these people….

I even got a message from someone with the email:

I also received an e mail with the same contents. I thought to give it a try and they have even replied to my queries. It later occured to me that i should check whether its genuine.

However i am aware that such mails are fraud and i have never given any crucial information such as bank account or passwords. I think at some point of time they are going to ask for money. Latest on this is they say that they have parceled my check

Where can i get help in case this joke turns out to be a crisis?

i received this stupid email with the same contents others are ref. to; but my point is this this thieves should have form an email under microsoft. Any way keep on replying them to go and find cleaner job somewhereand stop being stupid. :bulb:

I had one also. Big giveaway was stating in their address that Altrincham, Cheshire was in London! And also the option to ‘come down to United Kingdom’ to collect the money!

They’re obviously fakes but the phrasing and literacy mistakes are the best way to spot them.

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real
winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double
claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

:bulb: Wake up everyone. How can so many people have received the same email? How much money are their giving away?

I have also received 2 in the last few weeks. Microsoft have already stated it is fake, take their word for that.

What they are promising is what they are hoping to get by fooling so many people into given away their identity and money in hope to receive what we all dream of, A large sum of money.

It looks like they are succeeding since these emails have been going on for over 1 year!

If you give your private information and bank details you will lose your identity and they will use it to creat false passports etc BEWARE!!!!! Your identity is worth more than the money they are falsely promising.

Do not proceed!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol! I messed with the people who sent me one of these from “FIFA South Africa 2010 World Cup Lottory Promotion ” and pretended to be baited in (while gathering useful info) I got them to send a couple more emails (filled with grammatical errors I might add) I got them to tell me that I would be getting a lawyer to handle my “winning processing fees” Hah! As if! They even tried being all ornery and frustrated by saying “If you don’t claim this the unclaimed prize will go to the motherless.”

Dear Winniner,

We shall be pleased if you don not want to cliam your fund with us and then return it back to the office as uncliamed.This award is based on your usage of the AOL data base as your email subcribers and that was how the draw was made and your email happens to be a winner.

Any uncliamed fund goes to the motherless so if it your wish, we can do that on your behalf. So for the sake of your cliam, if you want it with you, then contact your cliam agent with this information and inform this office also.

DEAR SIR,

YOU ARE ALLOWED TO EITHER CLIAM THIS FUND OR WE SHALL TAKE IT BACK AS UNCLIAMED AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO CHARITY.

BASED ON YOUR QUESTION, YOU WILL ONLY BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR YOUR WINNING PROCESSING FEES AS A LAWYER SHALL BE GIVEN YOUR PAYMENT FILE TO PROCESS AND HE HAS TO NOTARIZE IT WITH THE COURT HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA AND ONLY ON THOSE ISSUE YOU SHALL BE ASKED FOR THE PROCESSING FEES BEFORE THE FINAL TRANSFER IS MADE TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT.

HAVE IT IN MIND THAT ALL DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE WINNING FUND SHALL BE FORWARDED TO YOU FOR CLIAM AND PROVE OF LEGALITY.

GET ACROSS TO US YOUR FULL INFORMATION TO PROCEED ON THIS ISSUE.

SINCERELY,

DR. ALLEN

And also I shall be pleased to let you know that there should be a processing Fees to be paid by you in regards to this matter and you should know nothing Good comes easy. On the legality of this matter, we shall be pleased to let you know that all this matter is legaly covered.

what I have to do with this E-mail

Reply

Hi got the lottery email – woow, thought I would provide a reply:
Hi

Woow so excited, this will put an end to all my money worries.

However I am divorced and have two ex-wives with 8 children between them fathered by me. As I’m sure you can understand they are always after more money from me for the children, sometimes I wish my lust was not so great (must get some professional help). Consequently giving my name out can put me in real trouble with my ex-wife(s), the first kept hurting me a lot as she was a power lifter and really strong. I really don’t want to end up in hospital again. The second was into witchcraft and you don’t want to know what she kept doing to me but needless to saw that I still bear the scars.

I see you have notified me from London, thats great as I work in London and thought it would be great to met you in person and pick up my cheque as I’d love to make sure you get a great lunch from me in a top London venue and perhaps with me winning so much we could have a night out on the town.

Please email me back soonest and we can arrange a meeting

wat stuck me was that d sender is from Wide Open West, which is a U.S. based cable service and then i am supposed to reply to somebody in U.K., supposedly frm d microsoft. Now, in this period of recession, where microsoft has already chucked out several of its employees, where do they get d money to spend on lotteries..

guess these scammers or wahteever they r called, needs to be updated.

Reply

Firstly I must say that this is most definately a scam first why a yahoo address? secondly there is no logo attached to the e-mail thirdly call the number if one is listed and if some one answers HELLO then you know it’s a total fake fifthly there is no website to go to verify. sixth microsoft even says in it websites that these e-mails are scams.

I have been ripped off before on the net and take many precautions now

hope this helps:0)

I have come to know through your wibsite that many people have received the mails rearding winning of prizes, but none of the person have confirmed if they have received any prize. Similarly I have also receive the email of winning prize for which the sender have demanded the clearace amount. I’m in delima whether it is two mail or or a scam shall I deposite the money or
not.
