Another Million Reasons to be Sceptical…

Filed under: All, Scams

Wow, must be my lucky day, according to an e-mail I’ve just received, I’ve won ‘1 Million US Dollars‘ and those of you that read my blog, will know that I’ve already been informed by another e-mail that I’ve already won ‘800,000 Euros‘ today!

Hang on, this is another lottery that is allegedly sponsored by Microsoft, and yet again I don’t remember entering any lottery!

Here are a couple of screenshots, showing the whole e-mail in all its glory:


Once more Bill Gates gets a mention, and the following line just makes me chuckle:

DO NOT REPLY ANY OTHER MAILS LIKE THIS ON NET, AS THEY ARE LOT OF SCAM ARTIST OUT THERE PRETENDING TO BE US…

Tell me about it, what a bunch of scammers!

Just to make it crystal clear, yet again, this is a scam, there is no money, and I haven’t really won anything…Damn, I suppose I better cancel that order for the Ferrari and the new guitars now? ;-)

Blimey, there’s that woman again [but she’s changed her name], from the 800,000 Euros wining e-mail, but now she has a friend with her. Anyone know who the women in the picture are, I’m sure they will be delighted to know that they are being used to help make a scam more believable?
