It has been verified. Remember the e-mail from unknown that I’ve posted 
in this blog last month? I received several similar e-mails after the incident and it seems that those kind of e-mail continue to flood my Gmail inbox day by day. People who are experienced in surfing the internet will know that it’s fake, but not the others who might be new to the internet.
The good news is, we already got another confirmation about famous mysterious mails come from the “Microsoft Award Team”, or whatever suspicious mail from the so called Microsoft which you might receive in your e-mail inbox, especially when you use Gmail account.
Microsoft Malaysia stated that it was a scam since Microsoft never engage in rewarding money through chain mails. This means any user who received such e-mails should not react to it or just send them to the trash folder, mark as spams, and put their mind at ease. Thanks to Amir for asking the question to them.
Dear Amir,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Customer Service. Based on your e-mail communication, I understand that you would like to clarify if the e-mail you received indeed came from Microsoft.
We appreciate your effort for bringing this issue to our attention. However, we would like to clarify that this information is definitely not from Microsoft. The company (We) does not engage in rewarding money through chain mails.
Thank you for your continuous support of Microsoft’s products and services. Should you require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

This is just another variation of the old “Nigerian Scam”. Before you get the award (which you will never receive) you have to pay money out or else give them details of your bank account so that they can clear it out, or use the information to open credit card accounts in your name.
Microsoft have confirmed that the awards don’t exist: these scammers are asking people to pay money “for processing fees”. They have made up names of government departments that don’t exist. They don’t even write in good English.

everyone has to STOP replying to these emails at ONCE,,especially do not ring them ,the phone numbers and addresses they ar supply are all phoney..and never send money,,basically if you didnt pay for any lottery tickets then it is not a real lottery…please stop replying to these scams as it just encourages them to victimise more people
July 11th, 2007 at 3:44 am
one of the ways to see that it is a scam is the email address example:yahoo.com,hotmail.com, terra.com,charter.net,gmail.com,and also if there is any spelling mistakes in the email is also a sign

from where has it come.is it really true?what should i do?
July 11th, 2007 at 7:36 am
the reason why some people receive these scams is when you subscribe/join a web page..these scammers buy software that tracks email addresses off these sites…but u shouldn’t let that stop you joining web pages,just when you first receive an email mark it as unsafe and ignore it

August 4th, 2007 at 4:23 am
Respected Sir/Madam,
I have got an email regarding the Superstakes Lottary promoted by Microsoft Award team. They told me that my email has won 750000 Pounds and they asked me for paying the transfer commission feet, tax and payment for anti- terrerist certificate for transferring the amount in to my bank account.
Please i want to know how much true is this.
August 4th, 2007 at 10:19 pm
i hope you didnt give them any personal information..for your own safety…it is all a scam..microsoft does not involve themselves in lotteries…there is nothing else to say..IT IS A SCAM……

And they want me to deposit courier charges(nearly 40,000 in indian rupees),in his account for my parcel to be delivered at my home address.I don’t know what shall i do.Please tell me waht is this?
September 10th, 2007 at 10:25 pm
i feel ripped off. my award was only worth 500,00.00 pounds. i knew it had to be a scam. why would microsoft want me to pay 350.00 ($710.00 AMERICAN DOLLARS)to a courier. I’m sure or hope they wouldn’t be that rotten. found this site by accident glasd i did. i e-mailed gary anderson from microsoft ;that was my case persons name, didn’t respond but i guess he must have gotten a hundred of these e-mails about is this true.
September 11th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Hello dear but you told me that i won then i could not find my name on the list
September 13th, 2007 at 6:57 am
Hi, Just had my dream ticket number offer sent me by City Link Courier Service who want £510:00 for a 48 hour delivery of my prize of £850:0000, what a rip of, and how come they can do these things?, I though Microsoft would go after these people and put them out of business, the quicker the better, Richard.
September 16th, 2007 at 11:04 am

September 17th, 2007 at 11:54 pm
It’s a scam guys, how many times do I have to repeat that.
September 18th, 2007 at 12:42 am
its easy..do not send anyone anymore personnal info about yourselves..and each time you receive a new email,place it as spam and delete..then eventually they will stop coming..
but it is like Fuad said..we can only tell you so many times that it is all a scam..nothing is for free..just use your common sense people
September 18th, 2007 at 9:57 am
It is quite absurd why people are resorting to cheating by these means, because they know that there are so many who want to become rich instantaneouly. People have to change their mindset, there are NO free lunches.
September 19th, 2007 at 1:44 pm
Yahoo/microsoft mega promotion is truly a phishing scam. How can these people be so stupid to think that we would actually respond to this?
September 19th, 2007 at 9:04 pm
i also receive thesame e-mail but knew it was fake.
they sent me a 2,000 dollar cash and told me to cash it and seen them the money i did but kept the money ha-ha. try to spam me a got play
September 19th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
if i win a lottery the check will be deliver to my door
that’s the only way i will beleive it
September 20th, 2007 at 5:28 am
the money check will get to your door,then when you go to the bank and TRY to cash it..you will be charged with fraud..but you have to wonder that if you think about it the kind of people who fall for these scams aren’t honest themselves..as they know its illegal
September 21st, 2007 at 3:42 am
hai!!!!!!!!
i am also got those msg’s ..,they are fraud

After reading through this forum, and then i noticed the batch/reference number written by the user here are similar from the email i got..
((Ref: BTD/968/07,Batch: 409978E, You are Number (5).))
DANG!! i been using email/internet for quite so long, i usually delete any suspicious emails. but this time these culprit almost got me! Luckily i’ve read this forum first! i think the best and quickest way to avoid all this scam is be wise and do some investigation,internet searching and read forums like this.
* oh i almost dreaming of buying a new house! :P! gosh what a mental damaged i’d had now! truly frustating!
October 30th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
I WANT THIS PEOPLE TO GET WHAT THEY DESERVED.
IT IS NOT GOOD, AND I HOPE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

October 31st, 2007 at 6:49 pm

October 31st, 2007 at 7:33 pm

Hey guys,
The next time you get one of these phony lottery emails, respond to it and tell them you sent the information in an attachment. Believe me they are waiting to hear from you! Simply attach one of those old Halloween jokes that scream and scare the crap out of people. Or better yet attach a letter that exposes them for what they are….crap. Let’s waste a little of their time too! I did it without sending an attachment(even though I said I did) and they have written back 4 times! I keep telling them that it’s there and I will resend it! NOT!
November 28th, 2007 at 11:47 pm
Last year I lost my life’s savings and home due to ignorance. These rapscallions sent me a forged check that I deposited to my back account. I sent them thousands of dollars to pay my supposed custom taxes,etc. What the hell, I had just become a millionaire.(Not at all–Oh I wish). After the fact I reported the incident to the CIA,FBI, Local Authorities, Homeland Securities.Needless to say, I was unable to recoup my losses.Now I am urging everyone to shout it out/FRAUD/SCAM. You won’t snare me.
November 29th, 2007 at 11:23 am
I read the blog posted. I received a similar email and I replied giving my name, address and contact numbers. The reply was suspicious. I got two attachments in PDF format are one from Microsoft and another certificate from FDIC.
Following are the suspicious activity clicked to me.
1. Email address is Yahoo and Microsoft has there own server.
2. Email has full of spelling and formatting errors.
3. The Bank name is HSBC of London and I found in the UK web the bank name is incorrect and HSBC responded that it is Phishing. (Phishing@hsbc.com)
4. The certificate background was so horrible but printing was ok. It was clear the certificate was made using ‘Word Art’ and million dollars or pound distributor can not have a good clerical setup. The Microsoft is the one who make similar soft wares.
5. I checked the UK address through map and satellite view and found the building is there but phone is not responding. Someone in UK has to open a free web to check reverse phone number in UK.
6. Read this suspicious word”Do not tell people about your Prize Award until your money is successfully handed over to you avoid disqualification that may arise from double claim.”
7. Microsoft and aol (see the lower case usage) have a joint venture? I thought both are competitors of same field.
8. I did not check with Microsoft, Frontiers Delivery services or FDIC. I just typed the word in my email and I got this blog page
November 30th, 2007 at 8:14 pm
I TO HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SORT OF EMAILS ,ADDRESS OF THIS ONE IS,1 MICROSOFT W A. 74052.

Hello everyone,
For those of you who are wondering if these emails are fake or not just take my case into consideration. I get every day emails saying that im rich, from microsoft and AOL lotteries, news about some rich guy in south africa or nigeria that died and have my same last name to world cup lotteries. They all Scam!!!Just think that you didint enter any contest and you dont have a distant relative who is rich in nigeria or just take a look at the email adressses from the people you are supposed to send emails to. these are free accounts anyone can set up. So dont fall into their trap , dont even send them your personal information because they might use it to trick anyone else.
