Hello,

Below is a copy of an email I have received. Can somebody tell me if this is a scam? Also, is there any legitimate lotteries that really do randomly pick email addresses out and send real prize money?

Of Course they're SCAMS... in the biggest way!!! Those emails are known as Phishing!!!

DON'T EVER GIVE THEM INFORMATION, nor fall prey to anything they offer...

Think of the saying "if it sounds too good, it probably is"... it holds true to so many many things... And this is definitely one of them!!!

I have this week received three such emails alerting me of my success in a recent Microsoft promotional lottery draw.Given the large amounts (1,000,000,500,000 & 400,000) quoted as my prizes,I became highly suspicious then sought for assistance. That's how I started looking for authenticity of these mails through internet. Am now convinced that a con group is on the loose to make quick, illicit fortunes by demanding payments to facilitate the transfers of the purposed prizes to the supposed winners. They all asked me to deposit 2,500 pounds into a barclays bank account before they can transfer my prize. Since I was born in Africa where poverty sits pretty, I have never touched or owned any money to the tune of 2,500 pounds. Where would I have gotten this one they are asking for?Woe unto them.

Dear investors,

be careful before investing in this new jersey based software company. The owner, Suneel Sawant, has spent lot of time, money and effort in marketing up the company. For example, the company has only 50 employees, but Suneel Sawant has said in several forums and business publications that there are 800 employees. Suneel Sawant has also said the company has products for legal and compliance but the reality is that there are no users yet of their software. The stock went from over a dollar to few cents now. Suneel Sawant is himself trying to keep the price up by doing fraud transactions. Also, Suneel Sawant is not interested in business. He just wants the money to indulge in expensive cars, expensive sex vacations and paid sex (he is a sex addict). Please be careful.
