419 Scam Example: "Microsoft Email Lottery"

One of the most common fake lottery scams on the internet is the "Microsoft lottery" or "Micro Lottery International". Microsoft or Bill Gates do not run any lotteries (see this article on Microsoft's website or contact the local Microsoft office in your country to confirm this for yourself). Scammers probably use these names because of their high name recognition value that lends credibility to the scam.

Basically any "email lottery" that involves randomly selected email address is a 419 scam. Fake lottery scams operate out of West Africa, but also the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium and other European countries as well as South Africa.

If you reply to such fraudulent mails, you will never receive any money. Instead the scammers are after your money. Read more about it here. See the following link for "Winning Notifications" for a "Microsoft Lottery":
