Is Microsoft hosting any sort of electronic loterry
LOTTERY SCAM:-
♦Its purely a ‘SPAM’. Do not respond to any of those messages as they intend to ‘STEAL’ your personal information. It is also enough for one E-mail to bait users into more of such lottery winning games. It is entirely a ‘FAKE’. Who would give you free money if you had never participated in any of the contests?

♦Its an EASY way of getting personal information and send you MORE of such messages to FILL up your Inbox! Yahoo or Microsoft keeps telling that they never send lottery E-mails to anyone saying that you’ve won XXX amounts. Never go to a site, which has contests and hosts mail lotteries.

♦People get thousands of E-mails everyday saying that they’ve ‘WON’ lottery prizes and amounts and even go to the extent of claiming their prize. NEVER RESPOND TO IT!!
Folks are also getting ‘DUPED’ by such kind of activities and fall to the trap of spammers! These lotteries ‘CONFIRM’ your working E-mail address and intend to send more of such mails

Fake and fraud. Don’t give the phishers any of your personal information at all. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you’ll never win because it’s "bogus."
