Lottery Scam Email:
YAHOO/MSN LOTTERY INC & WINDOWS LIVE
from "Mrs.Florina Bent", contact "Mr.Lesley Macdavid"
Here's another version of the Yahoo / Microsoft scam. Again,Office 2010 Key Sale, if you don't see the obvious signs of a scam here,Buy Office Professional Plus 2010, you ought to be worried: Yahoo and Microsoft are competitors. They don't "collects all the email addresses of the people that are active online" and their staff generally know how to spell simple words like "Incorporated" or "Corporation". Or use their own spell checkers...
Below is another example of a ######## lottery; this one claiming to be from the "YAHOO & MSN MICROSOFT WINDOWS LOTTERY" which they say is sponsored by Microsoft in the United Kingdom.
Note the usual clues to an obvious fraud that we have highlighted in the letter. Especially notice the free Yahoo email return address. Doesn't it make sense that Microsoft would notify winners of a lottery it sponsors, via a competitor's email system? And if that isn't an obvious enough sign for you,Windows 7 Starter Product Key, since when does Microsoft operate a lottery?
This one is really too stupid to believe that anyone would fall for it... And for another, even worse attempt Microsoft scam,
see this page.
