SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM!!!
In case that wasn't clear enough, It is a SCAM! Delete it immediately and do not respond.

I think you have been scammed. I get these things in my email all of the time. There is no prize money in the UK. Did you enter any lottery in the UK??? No??? Then how could you have won? How did they get your email??? It is SPAM. They are trying to get information from you, like credit cards, access to records and bank accounts, etc. Do not respond to this, just report it as SPAM.

You had to read a way down, but it's there, the sentence that says "stating your pin numbers". It's a scam, don't touch it.

My first question to you is: when did you get the lobotomy and was it painful?

Think about this for a minute. Microsoft wants to send you money for doing what? Did you purchase a lottery ticket from them or enter a contest? If not, then you have to realise that it's a scam. No corporation in the world is going to send you money for no reason.

This is a very common scam... Don't be fooled by it!

Firstly, have you ever entered a lottery with Microsoft? No... so why would you have won anything?!

Next, look at the email addresses given to reply to... They're both at Yahoo.co.uk... Why would official MICROSOFT employees use YAHOO accounts?!

And finally... Inter Link couriers don't exist... INTERLINK does but it's all one word (and again, why would an interlink employee uses a yahoo e-mail?)...

The whole thing is designed to look official, but there are many clues that this is not genuine... The biggest one is the e-mail addresses though... You will probably get more of these in the future... Just look at the e-mail addressses and if they are at free e-mail accounts (yahoo, msn, hotmail etc) then they are fake.

Whatever you do, do not reply to this... you will be sent another email asking you to provide address, bank details and other information like date of birth etc... everything a would be fraudster needs to apply for credit in YOUR name.

You don't get anything for nothing, it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information.

.Also If you go to the following link you will get some info on ID theft www.identity-theft.org.uk the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful.

This is a SCAM.
Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
