I got a mail staing that I won MSN/AOL. SOme lines froms the mail, %26quot;The prestigious Micrsoft and Aol has set out and sucessfully organised a Sweepstakes marking the year 2007 anniversary we rolled out over 鎷?,000.000.00 (Five million Great Britain Pounds) for our year Anniversary Draws. Participants for the draws were randomly selected and drawn from a wide range of web hosts which we enjoy their patronage.

The selection was made through a computer draw system attaching personalised email addresses to ticket numbers. If you ignore this, you will regret it later. Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet companies and in an effort to make sure that Internet Explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOL are running an e-mail beta test.%26quot; I contacted the person concrned (agent-mentioned in the mail). Then he sent me a mail that I have to bare the delivery charges around 1000 pounds. I need your help to know whether is it fact or something to grab money only.

You did not win an award. What you won is the ability to email both AOL and MSN and tell them that you recieved a scam email using their names! They%26#039;re infringing on two large companies names in order to steal people%26#039;s private data.

You responded to the Scam ?

If you still have the Original Email, send it to the real MSN and AOL spoof emails. That should do something

If you gave them ANYTHING which IDs you, make sure that you get yourself covered NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lock down, or change any account info you gave them

Other Replys:That is DEFINITELY a scam. Don%26#039;t be fooled. The number one way to spot a scam: Do you remember entering that contest? if your answer is no, then it is most likely a scam.

Other Replys:As stated above, it is definitely a scam. Not only is it a phishing attempt to have you provide financial details to %26quot;release%26quot; the funds, by opening the email you have probably sent back a web beacon to the source which will subject you to even more spamming and phishing attempts. It%26#039;s a variation of the 419 fraud

Other Replys:Definitely a SCAM !!! Here%26#039;s a big clue - whenever you see something like:

%26quot;If you ignore this, you will regret it later.%26quot;

AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE!!! Microsoft and/or AOL would never use that type of statement if they were informing you that you had been %26quot;selected%26quot;....

ALWAYS keep in mind: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Hope this helps.
