The fake lottery email i received today is the message below. At first i thought it was real because they have Microsoft’s name on it, but it was sent from a email address that uses a Google account. Why not Microsoft’s? This then lead me to search for the person in head of this “promotion team,” Dr. Bryan McDonald, which lead me to this site where it reports that maybe thousands of people receive this message, or spam, also. People, there are no such events as email lotteries. I just wish more people would realize this also.

I receive anywhere from 5-10 of this same email everyday, and all of them say the same thing with different people’s names and email addresses to forward my information to. HaHa to them….I am a Microsoft Certified agent and knew this was phony, so I reply to them only this information and then forward their email to the authorities, and tell them that I have done so. I haven’t stopped receiving the emails but i never get one from the same person. I think they should have a taste of their own medicine because you know when they check their inbox and see a reply they think” Yea…I’m gonna get paid” LOL
