Microsoft review: charged my account without authorization 288

Every day I receive several bogus emails and I goggle them and find out that yes in deed they are just as I suspected. One big scam just trying to get my money. I just wish there was a DO NOT EMAIL REGISTRY. You already have to contend with the generic drug, low cost insurance, and best rate vacation emails, but the scam emails are too much. The winning lotteries(always in the UK), inheritance from people whose names are being withheld or are from Nigeria(I've never been there and know no one there), and people who for some reason decide to leave me all their money. I would love to be able to open my email and just read the email from my family and friends without having to waste the time to delete all the scam emails. Thanks for letting me vent!

I received email like this, i don't know what it's.i don't know why i'm received so many email like this.

The Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Please answer me in smal time

My husband received an e-mail from the MICROSOFT AWARD TEAM stating that he won 5, 2 million Great British Pounds sterling.

He was asked to fill in his personal details (thank God not his bank account number!)and send it back for attention Davis Cole. (MSN INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY) He was then sent an e-mail referring him to contact Mr. Duncan Adams at Postbank in the Netherlands.

He even spoke to both men on the telephone and both confirmed his winnings. Luckily we saw the e-mails regarding these scam winnings and immediately stopped all correspondance.

We trust this letter will help other victems not falling pray to these "scamsters"
