The yahoo/msn & 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, this 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 cancelling 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.

This office will not be responsible for any outstanding fees. services rendered by on-dot courier delivery service are to be paid by you and not the lottery board, for the fact that the lottery organisers didn't make any provision for any upcoming expenses, regarding delivery of parcel or any such.

Have it in mind that your won prize cannot be deducted from your winning amount, this is because the total amount has been insured to the real value. this is to protect winners and to avoid misappropriation of funds.

Its is expected that you add your identification numbers{parcel/num/1405}as the subject of any correspondence with the courier company to ensure they respond in a timely manner.

I will require a concise update on proceedings with the firm as soon as you are in contact with them.. if you need any assistance whatsoever, please do not hesitate to let me know. do have a nice day.

I too have received numerous similar winning notifications, but this is the first time I am responding by making a complaint against it. I am really sicken by the attitude of these people who prey on the innocence and ignorance of internet users. Can Microsft Corporation come up with some sort of program and software whereby interested and concerned internet users can work together to eradicate this sickening group of people.

Sirs

I to have received such email and am asking for help I cannot pay the Cost of Transfer and I am not amenable to paying though western union since the money can be lost. the prize was 870, 000 GBP. Why can't they just debit the amount from the winnings ? Does Lloyds bank have different banking system than other country that exempts them and demands payment from the owners?
