Microsoft Lottery Scam

It amazes us that this apparent scam came from a person who claim to be a representative of Microsoft. The comical part is that you would think a Microsoft representative would have a Microsoft email address, not blahblahblah@live.com. We hope you'll not fall victim to these scams by educating yourself through our blog.

Subject of the email was: Microsoft® 2007 End of Year Promotion(£500, 00Promotion(£500,000.00GBP).
Sender was: newtonterry@live.com
