Email Scams Beware!!!

Oh My GOD what kind of a world are we in .. this is first time i have got anything like this in my inbox it is one of the most dangerous email scams that is being going around in the internet; where the email claims that U have won a lottery(which u never participated in) and asks u to give out personal information , the next email it says to claim your prize please some amount to the "following country" eg UK and claim your prize .People have actually sent out the money but later did they realize that it was scam and they have duped but its too late by then> so i request please dont entertain such claims and delete the email asp it may even be some sort of virus. for more info "Google" it or read the following info email
1.First its not genuine for the fact that it cliams from Microsoft and doesn't use the Microsoft's official email or domain name strange ; instead it uses free emails address like yahoo.co.uk,gmail,etc
2. It asks u to pay when it claims to give way millions of dollars/pounds sounds strange and so funny doesn't it ... there are so many such indication have a look at one if these emails which i have received ...

P.S Never entertain such gimmick please delete them at ONCE or u will be the sufferer at the end of the day
