Answer 1

i too once got da same email.

i replied them. bt got nothing

replyin them is just a waste of time

Answer 2

If you received such e-mail thru the junk mail, don't respond, as :-

1. Normally such mails sent to you in order to respond and they will have the chance to know the IP of your computer. Afterwards you might get hacked.

2.  I don't think that Microsoft is giving such rewards without previous announcing for a tournament.

3. Previously I have received such e-mail for several times.

Regards

Answer 3

No.

Never reply such a e mail...

Answer 6

absolute scam.  use a little bit of common sense. if u buy a lottery only then can u think of getting a prize. who is going to give u a prize without your participating in the lottery. I get at leat ten mails like this every day and just delete them and forget about it.

Answer 7

These are absolute fake emails. I have answered one of this type of e-mails. But nowadays I win everyday more than anyone can earn in a day.So dont answer it. It will fill your mail box storage and make you desire impossible.

Answer 8

Ignore such emails. Most of them from Nigerians around the world doing this kind of email scams. its called 417 scam. Search Google 417scam you will know more about it.

Answer 9

100% fake email

Don't send any kind of reply

Answer 10

Most probably it's a scam. Don't reply to it, never!

Copy paste it with the e-mail address from where it came and send it to Microsoft through an e-mail address taken from their official site.

Answer 11

dont reply back otherwise they will never endingly send these emails ofdifferent types

its usually some w**kers from Nigeria who do all this scam stuff with englash 44 untraced numbers -emailing- im not a racist i have indian girlfriend but these w**kers never stop seding stuff - so dont reply  at all unless you want non stop emails - - usually they get you if you are listing your email on certain sites -

Answer 12

Don't reply! It's smart of you to be suspicious of this kind of email. To put it simply, if you didn't specifically enter a sweepstakes, you couldn't have won it. Imagine someone calling you on the phone to tell you that you've won the lottery when you know you didn't buy a ticket. Now imagine that person telling you to meet them (at a strange place you've never heard of) so you can collect your winnings. Would you go?

If you reply to this email, you will probably at least end up getting more spam than you already do. At worst, you could end up being scammed in a major way. If you were to give them *any* kind of personal information, you might fall victim to identity theft, which could lead to having your bank account cleaned out and your credit accounts maxed out. Yikes!

Answer 13

Honestly, do you really think that's true ?

See, I'm sure you found the answer by yourself.
