Does Microsoft have sweepstakes going now? If so how can I get a list of official winner.?

This is just another scam e-mail. If you reply you will:





a) Be bombarded with endless other items of spam including job offers, requests for your credit cards details from "your bank", lottery wins throughout the world which you did not enter, etc. This is because your e-mail was prob. generated randomly. However, whenever anyone replies, it confirms to the spammers that the e-mail is genuine, and the user is gullible enough to reply to fake messages. It is therefore put into a priority mailing list for mass mailing.





b) Be asked to pay a fee of some sort to release your winnings, or be asked to set up a bank account and provide full details to allow the money transfer to be made. Either way, it will then be used as a means to fleece you.





Simple solution: never respond to these e-mails, and bin them unopened. If you are using Yahoo e-mail mark them as spam, and clear your spam folder out every time you check out.

Reply:If you've received an email saying you have won thousands.... forget it, it's just a scam.
Reply:Unless you have bought a ticket, you CANNOT have won a prize. There are no such things as "email" draws or any other lottery where "no tickets were sold".


Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email accounts such as Yahoo, Hotmail, MSN, etc, and no real business will use a free email account.


If you have an email stating you have won millions, delete it, it's a scam!!
