Swissfirst Bank AG,
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
---------------------------------------------------------

Please find the requested information below:
The Minimum Initial Deposit (MID) for the 'Premium Savings account'is
?1.00 (One Euro), while that of the 'Premium Check Account' is ?2.00
(Two Euros). You are also required to pay an additional ?355.56 (Three
Hundred and Fifty-Five Euros, Fifty-Six Cent) for cost of logistics
(processing (notarization and stamp duties), and cost of signing the
'remittance advice')) for the release of your funds, from the Central
Bank Automated Suspense Account(ASA) into your new account with us.
So, you are to pay either ?356.56 for the Premium Savings Account or
?357.56 for the Premium Check Account.
Open either of the accounts with the following details:
i). fill the account opening forms attached to this email and return same
to us by email attachment or by fax (+3184) 757 0357).
ii) Because of the deadline imposed on this transaction, we want
you to make payment for the minimum initial deposit (MID) and the cost of
logistics to the Head-of-our-Account Department: Mr. Barry Frank. Send the
money to him through Western Union Money Transfer. All you need do is to
go to the nearest western Union office around your locality and send the
money as soon as you complete the account opening forms.
The payment should be sent to:
Name: Mr. Barry Frank.
Address: Herengracht 450 1017 CA Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
iii). After we receive the payment, your new account will be open within
the 12-hours, and your 'account statement' will be processed and sent
to you after we credit it with your cash prize(?2,000,000.00) from the ASA
account of the Central Bank..
iv). after that, we will require another 48-hours to remit your funds into
any account of your choice in your country - our preferred mode of payment
is by Wire-transfer. After the remittance, you will allow another 48-hours
before your funds will reflect in your account in your country.
Those are the basic requirements for the release of your funds; right from
the central Bank's Automated Suspense Account, to your new account here,
and lastly, to your account in your country.
Note: refer to the documents attached to this email for the account
opening forms.
Congratulations in advance for the successful completion of this transaction.

Microsoft Mega Jackpot Lottery UK
2005 Award Claims Department
Director: Mr. Tinzo Paolo
Manager: Mr. Ashton Mc Fadden.
Assigned Claims Processor: Mr. Mark Alsem.
PHONE #:+xx xxxxxxxxxx,

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. wink

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.

Hi Tina,

First thing is to contact your bank andf inform them as to what happened, they should be able to advise you if you should close your account and other actions that may be necessary. Then contact your local police.
