I just received this absolutely juvenile and idiotic fake lottery email. I tried to do a screen capture of it, but could not. This has got to be the most idiotic scam I have ever, and I do mean, EVER seen. Note the crude graphics, the yahoo email address for the "claims agent," and the Chinese footer, probably the service the ignorant monkeys used to send the email!

I'm really sorry, but any person DUMB enough to respond to these people, SHOULD have their money or identity stolen, because they are too fucking stupid to have either! Be warned... If anyone writes a comment asking me what to do if they get one of these, or worse, "How do I collect my money," I will have fun making them look like a bigger idiot than they already are!

LOL, funny how we all won with the same numbers! First of all, remember that if you don't buy a lottery ticket, you will not win the lottery.
2nd. If Microsoft was to send you something, their emails would not be coming from a yahoo addres or asking you to respond to a yahoo address.
Bill Gates or anyone else at Microsoft is NOT giving you money for nothing. (Or will anyne else)
NEVER EVER send your personal info, bank infor or anything to anyone you don't know. The golden rule, IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT IS!
