Lottery Scam Email:
Yahoo - Windows British Microsoft Email Select Award
(with MSN, Yahoo UK and Ireland and Windows Live Hotmail, thrown
in for good measure)
Wow! Did the "BRITISH MICROSOFT E-MAIL SELECT AWARD" Head
Office contact you to say you won a "Yahoo - Windows" lottery for persons who
have active email accounts?" Despite the liberal use of misappropriated logos
and graphics, this is a very, very obvious fake and attempt to scam your for
your passport, identity, and any money they can get you to pay as "transfer
fees", handling charges". anything they can make up!
A few basic facts and questions should prove this is a scam even
to the most ardent of wannabe victims: Yahoo and Microsoft are competitors: why
would they join together to give away money, at random, just because the winners
have "an active email account"? Explain the business model behind that!
A few
more obvious problems: loads of spelling errors, they want you to reply to a
"fiduciary agent" allegedly based in South Africa, who has a free gmail email
account, lotteries NEVER email the winners..
and, oh yes, Yahoo doesn't HAVE a lottery! Neither does Microsoft! Don't you think you would have
heard of it by now, if they did? And since when do lotteries choose winners who
didn't buy a ticket: "All participant were selected through a computer balloting
system drawn from Nine hundred thousand E-mail addresses". Also, if your
are techno-savvy, notice that the source of each of the graphics is from a
number of different websites, hardly the hallmark of a legitimate email.
Truly, if you fell for this lottery we feel deeply, deeply sorry
for your highly embarrassed family. Somewhere your
mother is sobbing to think that she gave birth to an utter idiot.
And for an even worse attempt Microsoft scam,
