Yeah it sounds like a scam if they are asking for all that information, so they can take everything from your account. What I do with these is respond back to the sender, and for my local contact information I list the address and phone number of my local FBI office here in the US.

You could also pull the complete header out of the email and send that to the local authorities.

Complete scam - be careful.

wdw

I'm 99.9% sure that this is a scam... Microsoft is a very security-oriented company, and they would NEVER ask you for bank information! Also, look at the end of the message where it says "Copyright 漏 1998-2007 The MICROSOFT Inc." True microsoft products do not say THE Microsoft inc...

This looks phony to me. I have received this kind of email, in various forms, many times. If you did not enter a lottery, it is unlikely you've won one. You could report it to Microsoft (not replying to this email) in a separate email you generate and see what they say. This seems like a scam to get your personal information and I'd be quite wary. If you Google "phishing" you will get some good sites that tell you what to look out for. Generally, don't give personal info anyplace where you haven't initiated the interaction. Take care. Cinda
