It’s hard to know MICROSOFT WINNING Notifications and SCAM because there is no difference, i also receive such message claiming i won some prize of which i was asked for my details, i sent to the so called claim agent Mr. Paul Mokena. After some series of information’s exchange, the bank he claimed was processing my fund sent me a message to pay some amount of money to my claim agent for affidavit’s processing fee.
all of you just think that everyone is saying about the receiving of the mail and not about that he/she have get the money. because no one have received his or her prize money. so dnt be think anymore. its just a scam

Sample Lottery Scam Email:
MICROSOFT E-MAIL LOTTERY PROMOTION AWARD
MONICA SHAGAYA, Alan Stubs
Microsoft is the frequent target of scammers, who use victim’s ignorance of email technology to spin webs about how Microsoft is “testing the email” or wants to “encourage use of the internet” and therefore is giving away millions of dollars in random lotteries. The Microsoft E-mail Lottery Promotion Award” scam is just such a fraud. Sad to say, anyone with 1/4 of a brain can follow the simple logic to figure out that these events and statements just don’t make sense. However, we live in a time of ever increasing numbers of scammers, more complex technology, and more gullible people looking for instant riches.
Microsoft never has and never will sponsor a lottery, of any kind. Bill Gates has made that pretty clear. And, by the way, Microsoft is not, does not, and will not ever send you to DisneyWorld. They don’t “test the internet”, nor sponsor email lotteries to “promote use of the internet”.

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims in the last year edition, 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.
Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the interactive Lotteries Board Commission, We wish you a Happy New Year

Hi there everyone, I have recently been informed by a company which calls themselves the Microsoft Windows XP Corporations, which say that I have been selected as a winner of a lottery programme called the Computerized Email Selection System (C.E.S.S.). I responded to the email with the info they asked for and was forwarded a batch number to email my name, address and telephone number to make arrangement to collect my winnings. On searching for the Microsoft company and the courier service, I couldn’t find any listing of that branch located in the UK and the only SpeedLink courier services listed said that they have no business with Microsoft and did not have a person by the name of Mr. Frederick Leo as their Delivery Manager. When I phoned the number listed for the Microsoft company and spoke to them about getting a contact number for the courier company I was told that they were the courier company and that I would have to pay these various rates ( 680 GBP, 550 GBP AND 480 GBP) depending on how quickly I wished to receive my parcel in Trinidad and Tobago. In my local currency, that would translate at the least to $5000 TT, which I find to be utterly ridiculous! I wonder why the courier fee couldn’t be deducted from the winnings before it was sent to me and no mention of any fees were made prior to my choice of courier delivery! I will copy the two notices so that you all can decide how true this lottery is.

I received one too many of these scam emails almost everyday. They even have the audacity to inquire whether they can trust us if they deposit money into our account and to be shared later. It’s vice versa-whether we trust them or not.
Microsoft should trace these cheaters and get them to the books.
These are definitely the work of Black African Negroes and China is fast picking up on this modus operandi of swindling innocent & unsuspecting people.
Don’t be fooled by them. Such money don’t come to you from a stranger by just opening your email. Even your father, if he can afford it, won’t at all give you that amount of money. You have to work & slogg for it. Nothing is free in this world. That is a fact. If you are conned, that shows that you are greedy.
Reply them and tell them to keep the money as you are wealthy enough not to accept it. However ask them for their bank account number & say you’ll deposit USD 100,000,000.00 immediately in reciprocation of their kindness – jokingly in respond to their scam.
It’s forgone conclusion that such mails are definitely scams by the very nature of it being addressed to you by total strangers through emails.
I received an email from Microsoft, yahoo and goole lottery promotion saying that I am the winner of ticket no B95647560, serial no. 046560 in October 2009, lotto 6/49, with numbers 6,7,14,16,17,27and bonus 32, file EAAL/90801183081/08. It was from Mr Mrrsen Tom. Is it true of scam???

————————————————-
I receive similar email last week as follow;
I am pleased to inform you that one of the best things that can happen to any Internet user is to be rewarded for spending money and time on the Internet. You may not have known that over one million people daily surf the Internet on regular basis for one reason or the other.
These Internet users including yourself, pay access fees to various Internet Service Providers (ISP) all over the world who in turn remit surplus funds to the numerous World Wide Internet Technology Companies (WWITC) for the development and advancement of Global Information Technology.
So much money is generated from people like you all over the World for using the Information Superhighway (the Internet) without your being aware the enormous sum that go to the stake holders (WWITC). Without your patronage, this would not have been possible.
Due to the reasons stated above, Microsoft Award Team in collaboration with the Worldwide Internet User lottery and Write A Cheque Committee decided to conduct a research on the issue, they concluded that Internet users should be compensated. As a result, they embarked on a worldwide lottery promotion with a sophisticated automated database to randomly select E-mail accounts that frequently surf the Internet. Consequent upon this, your E-mail address was picked for Category “A”(1st category) Winners. After the automated computer ballot, your E-mail address emerged as a winner in the category “A” with the following numbers attached;
Batch Number……………..
Ref Number……………….
Winning/Ticket Number………………
You and other category A(1st category) winners are therefore to receive a cash prize of £500,000.00 (Five Hundred Thousand Great British Pounds Sterling) each from the total payout of One Billion Great British Pounds Sterling earmbarked in the lottery for category A winners.
Your prize award has been insured with your E-mail address which qualified you for the lottery and will be transferred to you upon meeting our requirements, statutory, obligations, verifications, validations and satisfactory proof of E-mail address ownership. The said sum is now deposited in our suspense account in your favour waiting for immediate remittance to you.
Be informed that your winning prize has a hardcover insurance policy that makes it impossible to make any deduction of any kind, until the sum is finally credited into your designated account.This firm on behalf of Microsoft Award Team our client will issue an Irrevocable Guarantee of Payment Bond (IGPB) in your favour, thereby securing the above prize money. A copy of the IGPB will be forwarded to our paying bank for immediate action. However, our client has been notified of this development and the status of your claim.
Following the above, you are expected to fill the attached claims application form and return back to this office along with a scanned copy of your international passport or driver’s license via email attachment for vetting process which is a standard practice just to ensure that we are dealing with the right individual.
This process is vital and urgent following the instruction from our client( Microsoft Award Team) stating that all prize money should be claimed on or before the DEADLINE which is two weeks from your day of notice. So i advise you fill, scan and send the above documents via email attachment as soon as possible, so we can commence your claims process.

Note, the above is a scam and designed to get your money – it is posted for your awareness only.
Scam phone numbers in the United Kingdom (+44):
Most “419” scams using +44 70xx numbers involve emails that are sent from Nigeria and other West African countries, not from the UK! If you see a +44 70xx number in a 419 scam email it usually means you’re dealing with criminals based in Nigeria.
UK phone numbers starting with ’70’ are “Personal numbering” in the “Find me anywhere” range. Charges for calls to these numbers are not distance-dependent. They can cost as much as UKL 0.50 (USD 0.90) per minute to call and can forward the call to virtually any phone number in the world. Forwarding numbers can be set up for free and completely anonymously via websites such as uknumbers.com.
In most cases when you call one of these numbers the phone that starts ringing will actually be a mobile phone somewhere in Nigeria, as the UK number has been programmed to auto-forward calls to another number. These +44 70xx numbers are used as a redirector service to obscure the fact that the person taking the call is not actually based in Europe. The UK number is used to lend credibility to the scam. Unfortunately the authorities in the UK do not seem to be taking action to shut down such phone numbers.
i got a e-mail from microsoft lottry that i won one million us doller from rendemly microsoft lottry system. i talked to them on phone and e-mail.At the last time they said that I had to pay 300 BRITISh POUNDS (INR 29,800 INDIAN RUPEES) for transfering the money in my Indian Bank within 24 hours.
Sir i want to know that is it true or fraud. This e-mail was sent by microsoft lottry system but money is demanded by BARCLAY BANK PLC LONDON by Mr. Nail White.

This is definitely SPAM. U can see from email addresses which are given to contact them. Every single email address is so different. If it was from Microsoft y there are many different contact mail addresses. Come on, guys. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Ask yourself HAVE I DONE ANYTHING TO DESERVE MILLION POUND. Then your answer is NO. IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE THEN IT IS.

I replied the initial email, now they want me to provide specific details. I responded to the second email. I am curious, I want to know what will happen next.
Dear fellow MSWord Lottery Winners (lol!!)
Don’t you ever feel nauseated to think you won without entering into a game? Did you not cast any doubt how you could win in a game you didnt enter into?
OK, don’t you have the gall to tell the sender that it is too fishy?
Can you not afford to simply ignore that notification.
Can you not picture them grinning from ear to ear with their good catch from your hard earned money?
Would be victims are we… it is time to choke these fake MS Word Lottery organizers

i also received an email on March 21, 2009 informing me that i’ve won in the Microsoft Lottery. I fell for this thing and gave them my name, address, mobile number and other info. as well as attached to it my passport and company ID.
it’s only now that i have come to know that it is a scam. i e-mailed them not to use my identity and that they can’t take any money from me because i am just an ordinary individual trying to make a living for my family.
now i worry much about giving them my personal details. will they use my identity of some sort? kindly respond through my email. thank you so much. GOD bless you.
Yes, it is an absolute SCAM. Also a surprising fact is that they are real professional scammer. they have their contact no’s, names, etc keep on changing, believe me even their ip address is different from one another.
I have checked this as i also received this email scam. Their IP address is located for US, Common address is UK, People can even be in Africa.
All this is to take up money from you as… they call it by any name as processing fees, email charges, deposit, guarantee charges, insurance etc.
Please do not pay even a penny. It is waste. Do not even reply their email. They can easily locate your ip address from your reply. Because they are real professionals.
i recieve a message say that i win, cause my Email address was pick up by electronic engine lottery draw this month,please verify how true is it asap please,cause i already fill up the application form for claim the prize i won,.

I also received such mail, is it a scam? They are asking me to deposit a big amount of money (although small compared to how much I will get back!)
For a person who claims to be a bit smarter than others, complex words like plausibility seem to be beyond your spelling ability, don’t they?
Some of the smartest people in the world fall for these scams and I for one lost more than $3,000. Yes, some are obvious while others grab your attention and touch your heart as did the one that got me.
Just be careful!
Of course it is a SCAM!!! Why on earth would ANYONE want to give you some millions of pounds, rupees or whatever in a drawing that YOU DID NOT ENTER in the first place. Furthermore, look at the message header if you are smart enough and you can see the trail of where the email came from, run a reverse lookup and you find out that it is not from any bank, Microsoft and son.
I am a bit smarter than most so I do not expect many people to get what I just said or understand how to use such tools. Regardless of this though, use your god given talent to come to a logical conclusion by method of logical deduction of plausability.
IT IS A SCAM!!! I still cannot believe so many people are asking if it is real or not. Sheesh…. If these posts represent any major portion of the general intelligence level of the global population, the earth is freakin’ doomed…
–SoLo
P.S. Think before you act on the internet, there is always someone waiting to rape you blind and leave you for dead. These people do not care if it is your life savings or not, it is money they do not have and want, that is all they consider.
I have recieved this e-mail- Congratulations you have won the 2009 Microsoft E-mail lottery draw – download the attachment to claim your winning price.
Is it true?
Does anyone know of somebody who might have won? Is this real?
Since joining a number of freecycle sites via yahoo groups i have started receiving lots of Nigerian 419 scams. Some days i can win three lottery’s. Sometimes i am offered over 25 million dollars of money just sitting in an obscure bank account some where and yes I’ve won the Microsoft lottery. Have even had offers to start up a wholesale business for a manufacturing company.
I send wonderful emails back to just waste time. Eventually they work it out then you get some very rude emails. It is only then that you get the real reward, knowing that you wound the scammers up to breaking point. This is the only reward you will ever get but i thoroughly enjoy it.
it’s not true at all. It’s a primitive cheap scam (probably Nigeria again). People, use your mind, never answer any emails like that!!!!!! For your entertainment, you can communicate with them asking stupid questions, just to fool around, that’s it.
Good luck(to be safe)!
I also received something like this and I have given my bank account information too. What can happen now that they have my information?

Sir
It is to implore before you for giving an opportunity for placing my story of looting by a section of people from London after using the logo of MSW Mega Jackpot/Microsoft award lottery winning during last September, 2007 resoling put our family in sinking condition.
I here submitting a note for your perusal and placed the same to the Board of Director of MSW Mega Jack Pot/Microsoft award lottery Board for granting compensation to save our family.
I paid near about five lakes to the Courier companies who were forced to pay courier and other charges to receive the winning. At the beginning it is not understood that they are fraud and their intention is to loot simple people after using logo of MSW Mega Jack Pot, Microsoft, UK National Lottery etc.
I believe it is primary responsibility of the Lottery Board to save a simple family who falls in ruined condition in the name of their Lottery, A simple people is not in a position initially specially who entered in the computer world and as soon as fallen victim of criminals which destroy his family .
I believe it is the moral responsibility of the Lottery Board to save a simple family specially who is now to pay near about ten lakes INR loan money to the money lender following receiving of lottery winning.
I believe you have taken responsibility to save our family in the name of God and file my sorrowful real story before the board for granting compensation with a view to save a simple family and take the bless of God for such good work.
I believe after granting compensation to our family, the lottery board will not falls in troubles but surely save a simple family from present sinking condition and for such king of help, our family will remain ever grateful to you and surely on the personalities of Board who grant compensation on humanitarian ground to save our family.
I am waiting for your immediate reply.
Thank you.

Dear, i recieved an e.mail from the british microsoft lottery office telling me that i am winner number 4 and i have just won 1 million pounds is that true? what i do next? pls reply urgently
OK, I must have read over one hundred comments from different people asking if this is a scam. If there are only five winners what do you think? Come on people if it’s too good to be true.
Can’t beleive people above are asking if this is a scam… use some common sense please.
I’m just bitter as they only offered me 1/2 a million :(

This is OBVIOUSLY a scam! About time Microsoft clocked on to it though no?
This is the exact same scam as the one from Nigeria a few years ago. They say you won money and will send it to you but they charge you a FEE for the money transfer. TRUST ME, YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE ANY MONEY. I am surprised Microsoft hasn’t denounced this yet.

Hello
i received an email-as British microsoft national Lottery,
is that true or wat should i do.
ref. Dr John Briggs as claims agent
and Godwin Martin
Please reply urgently
I got two email from two different people that were very similair one from a microsoft company and one from the solid rock company and i noticed they looked very unprofessional as well as being from regular email addresses and emails that were free like hotmail and then i looked them up on google and there were a tremendous amount of artilces on them which said they were fakes and frauds don’t give your information or any billing info! its a scam!!! these people must be stopped!
lol,i think this is a scam!
I got the same e-mail too, 2 mill.$ and a ticket 2010 World Cup :D
They say,i have 2 option to clame my prize:
1.requested to go down to South Africa in person(lol)
2. “we shall assign a very reputable Legal Representative whom shall act and represent you on your behalf to facilitate all the needful regarding your claim prize to your best interest and benefit.”
(little later)Again, do realize that the Legal Representative shall charge you for his Service Fee,which you will have to negotiate between both of you.We hope to receive a quick response from you as time is of essence to this regard.
looooool, so,why cant use my Representative?:DDD
i received and email from a certain Dr. Richard Owens contatct number Tel +44 7031870180 +44 7031891729 notifying that i won 2M British pounds and they ask me to fill up a form. No money requirement was ask. is this for real?
i recieve same email and this is my first time experience this to my life same addres but different name they thing they can trick me
I have received too. These are totally scam. Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone with the authority should uncover who are behind this. They must be punished so no one cannot be victimized by them again.
You cannot win a lottery or contest that you didn’t enter. Don’t be fooled by phony e-mails. This has SCAM written all over it!
please let me know if your organization is legally registered, because I have received an email for award.Or if it is a scam program I may void it.
