This is the Cheesiest... Stupidest ...Lottery Scam I have seen!
There is no Microsoft Lottery. And If there was one, I can promise you, it would be a lot more professional than what these monkeys have put together!
Dowload and look at the PDF, it is like something my eight year old would put together. Look at the photos on the bottom that says past winners. Notice something strange??? Like one of them standing in front of a sign that says "Michigan Lottery?" What a bunch of idiots. Also note little things like the fact that the email does not come from a Microsoft Corporate address, or even one based in the UK, but a German Freemail account? Anyone stupid enough to give these people even an answer to their email, deserves to get ripped off.

I have been through this many times. World - Wide Lotto, send me a check for $4855.00 and said it is to pay for the taxes. I check with the bank to see if the check was a fraud, and they call the bank and it said it was real. I deposit into my saving account and November the third in the afternoon the bank call to say that is was a fraud check. I am so sick off these scam artist and hope that government put them to a stop soon. I appericate your help in this matter.

Ruth, are you retarded? Why would ANYBODY think one of these checks are real? You must be one of those morons who still believes in the tooth fairy.
