My husband received an e-mail from the MICROSOFT AWARD TEAM stating that he won 5, 2 million Great British Pounds sterling.

He was asked to fill in his personal details (thank God not his bank account number!)and send it back for attention Davis Cole. (MSN INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY) He was then sent an e-mail referring him to contact Mr. Duncan Adams at Postbank in the Netherlands.

He even spoke to both men on the telephone and both confirmed his winnings. Luckily we saw the e-mails regarding these scam winnings and immediately stopped all correspondance.

We trust this letter will help other victems not falling pray to these "scamsters"
