I received an email from Microsoft UK. Is this a current scam? It is in the details. Has anyone seen this.?

Scam - here are some clues:

%26quot;Dear Winner,%26quot; (real award would know your name)

%26quot;The prestigious Microsoft and AOL has set out...%26quot; (bad grammar, usage of %26quot;prestigious%26quot; is overdoing it)

%26quot;drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage%26quot; (again, terrible grammar)

%26quot;If you ignore this, you will regret it later%26quot; (verbiage taken straight from the textbook on email scams)

(If Microsoft DID have an %26quot;award team,%26quot; I%26#039;m sure they would have enough email server space to give them actual microsoft email accounts, rather than %26quot;keromail.%26quot;)

Lots of grammar mistakes throughout that I have not highlighted. This is a scam.

Other Replys:Don%26#039;t open. If mail is important enough it will show up at your door.

Other Replys:yeah the people who work for microsoft and aol have emails at keromail.com

Other Replys:That is a major scam. Just delete it.

Other Replys:IT MUST BE A SCAM. YESTERDAY I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM RICHARD K. LLOYD, ON-LINE COORDINATOR OF THE U.K. INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY, SWEEPSTAKES INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM, P.O. BOX 1010, LIVERPOOL, L70 1NL, TELLING ME I HAVE WON 500,00 BRITISH POUNDS IN THEIR LOTTERY.( 9,500,000 BRITISH POUNDS IN A POOL TO BE SHARED WITH 19 LUCKY WINNERS) THEY EVEN GAVE ME MY WINNING NUMBERS, 5 , 8, 10, 18, 20, 46, AND BONUS # OF 43. THEY WANT ME TO CALL THIS TELEPHONE #, +447011139491 OR THEIR WEB SITE, NATIONAL-LOTTERY.CO.UK/P/RESULTS.DO , TO CLAIM MY PRIZE. I AM KIND OF SKEPTICAL ABOUT THIS AND I WON%26#039;T CALL BECAUSE I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SCAM.

I THINK THE E-MAIL YOU RECEIVED IS ALSO A SCAM, IT IS VERY SIMILIAR TO MY SCAM E-MAIL. DON%26#039;T BE A FOOL, JUST IGNORE IT. AS THEY SAY , IF IT%26#039;S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS (A SCAM).

GOOD LUCK.
