Assigned Claims Processor: Mr. Mark Alsem. PHONE #:+xx xxxxxxxxxx, FAX#: Email: informationdepartmentuk@ Phone: +xx- xxx- xxxx- xxx Dear Winner, I, Your Assigned claims reprocessing officer Mr. Mark Aslem, am pleased to inform you that your prize money of ?5.5, million Pounds with reference number: MSW/xxxxxxGH/L and batch number: xxxxxx/WIN has been returned back to us (Microsoft Mega Jackpot Promotion House). Today, the 12th of December 2005 as unclaimed. We wish to notify you that you still have the right to reprocess your winning prize. For winners that are not interested in reprocessing their winnings, we wish to ask you for the right to give out or share out your winning prize to the charity homes here in UK. I have been instructed to inform you that you should please fill in the disclaiming form indicating your disinterest in claiming your GB 5.5 Million Pounds and reasons why so we can proceed to send your funds over to charity homes here in the UK. I hope this is well understood I would be looking forward to hearing from you. 5.5 MILLION POUNDS DISCLAIMING FORM FROM THE MICROSOFTWORD MEGA JACKPOT EMAIL PROMOTION OFFICE ..............how do i know if this is true or fraud. please assist me. many thanks Gary {ADDED BY THE ADMIN} Yes Gary, this is email is a scam. We have edited out some of Gary's personal information. First of all, Microsoft does NOT run or authorize any lottery of any kind, that we at Lots0cash know about and we know a little about Lotteries. Next, If you had really won 5.5 Million, don't you think that the Lottery would have at the very least spent a few pennies and sent you a registered or certified letter to your home address? After you contact these guys they ask you for a "processing" or "service" fee, sometimes they ask for your bank account details. Think about this for a minute; If you just won 5.5 Million, why would they need you to send them a "fee"? Why can't they just take the money out of your prize? If they tell you it is because of a law or regulation, tell them that you'll send them the "fee" after you receive your winnings, your credit should be good, you just won 5.5 Million... Don't get Scammed - Keep your money and don't waste your time. Lots0cash Admin I got a very similar scam & almost bought into it.Thanks to my husband & this sight I saved time,money & aggrivation.

Then contact your local police. Admin Edited by admin on 05/03/06 - 16:24:04
