Is microsoft having a lottery winning notification at this time and are they
charging a fee for the delivery and insurance for the winning prize.

 

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

1. Wrong newsgroup, but I don't think there is a group for Microsoft scams.

2. You already know the answer to this question, don't you? If not, you
really shouldn't have a computer with Internet access.

a) Microsoft are a software company, not a gambling organisation.
b) To participate in a lottery, you must pay an entry fee (otherwise the
lottery will not be profitable) or at least register your name (if the
company is looking to lose money).
c) No lottery company I know of can charge for delivery or insurance of
a winning prize.

excellent bit of information now the horse 'as bolted - for those of us who
aren't 'computer' brained up, we could have fallen for it - maybe there
should be a mass posting by microsoft to warn us vulnerable persons...... get
responsible

 

[CyberTaz]

Welllll, no disrespect intended, but *nobody* was "'computer' brained up"
when the phrase was coined: "Ain't no such thing as a free
lunch!"...especially true of a 'free lunch' you have to pay for
