Answer 1

It is not real-delete it

Answer 2

Trust me I live in Seattle area and Bill Gates microsoft does not do drawings and microsoft would not use a AOL address. I just called Microsoft Corp 425-739-4669 and they told me it is a scam and microsoft does not do drawings and they would not ask for money.

Answer 3

scam.



To Avoid scams here is what i tell people...

All spam emails/unsolicited phone calls/letters and faxes are scams.

As a general rule - ANYTHING involving Western Union/money gram = Scam.

my Advice: Don't deal with anyone out of state or from a foreign country or Accept or cash checks from strangers and never use wire/bank transfer services.. you risk losing your $$ and your mind.



Remember, if it sounds too good

to be true, it probably is! NEVER(ever) give out your personal information to strangers online or offline! Always be on guard.

Answer 4

As this is a scam you have merely taken email the rest of us would just delete and posted the details to a very active message board.

Also the funny part is that you would believe that MICROSOFT would use a YAHOO email address instead of a MSN or one of their won networks!!



Come on...
