We received this Microsoft Lottery Scam 3 times today. Now we've NEVER heard of anyone winning a lottery 3 times in their life, much less 3x in one day. By the third email it just wasn't very exciting anymore.

Why do these people always leave a different contact person other than their own email address. Is it an affiliate scam? We imagine the address listed at the bottom would love the opportunity to explain. NOT going to happen.

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).
