I got an e-mail that says I won ALOT of money and it is from Microsoft Promotion Team London United Kingdom. It is a sweepstakes between Microsoft and AOL and a random drawing with e-mails. Is it for real?

No it isn't. If you are being asked to send money for "processing" or asked to provide an account number, DON'T DO IT. Mark the email as spam and delete!

I got the same thing. Microsoft is a U.S.-based company. Q: How or why would Microsoft use a company in the UK to conduct their "sweepstakes"? AND I don't even have a MSN e-mail address. BOTTOM LINE: SCAM! Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: Because you asked.

It's a scam (see http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2s_scams_lottery_home.shtml while it says "Foreign Lottery Scams", the email you received should match fairly closely to some of the examples listed.) I have, stored in an email folder, SO many lottery wins, that I'm relatively certain I could pay off the US National Debt with cash from my winnings! I also have a LOT of foreign nationals that "chose ME" to be an heir, as a business contact, and want me to work for them for $1500 a month simply transferring money by wire or reshipping items overseas. MANY of those types of scams are listed at that site. (See http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2s_scams_home.shtml )
