This is a scam that has been going on for over three years. IT IS NOT REAL!
There have been various subtle changes with each new scam, but believe
me they are all fraudulent. I know this after I received a similar email about
a year and a half ago. So did thousands of other people. Rather than get caught up in it, I investigated.Long story short, the news media and law enforcement got involved and it boiled down to Microsoft had nothing whatsoever to do with the emails and in fact knew nothing about them until
they began receiving hundreds of calls from hopeful participants. So once again, IT IS A FRAUD! TSHFCE, Sacramento, CA U.S.A.

I also received such e-mails and unfortunately sent out my personal data. At this point I pray it is not a scam.
