(This is a classic!)

Yesterday I didn’t win 1,000,000 Euro again. But some scammer is pretending to represent Microsoft in order to cheet me on a couple of hundred dollars.

It’s a well known fact that lottery scammers use well known brand names and trademarkes in order to pull their lottery scams. I have previously published mails from the Google Lottery, and here is an email from a scammer who pretends to represent the software giant in Redmont.

How can I be sure this is a scam? Well, the fact that it is sent from and to a free email service (and not MSN or Hotmail) and that the contact address is a netscape.net address, must be considered to be somthing of a givaway… (And can someone please shed som light on the fact that most of these scammers use Dutch phone numbers?

How the feck a M$ Employee use a bloody YAHOO email address?

There are loads of African scammers around, many of them living in bloody UK, the rest in fucked up countries in Africa.
Im not racist but hey go watch Blood Diamond(movie).

Nikke Lindqvist mars 15, 2007 kl 23:49

So true Virgilio…

Still, som many fall for this. On some markets, even e-mail is a new thing, and new e-mail users are new hunting grounds for scammers.

Kayode mars 22, 2007 kl 11:39

Virgilio whoever you are, you are ‘small minded’ racists are probably better thinkers than you are. How dare you sloppily infer that this must be by some Africans!! I bet you never met a scammer who is African, yet i am certain you’ve met quite a few who do an honest day’s job to get by. I live in Africa and work globally and i can tell you that i have encountered Indian,Jamaicans,Americans and Irish people who have tried to scam my company in figures that make a $1m pale in significance. Does that give me the right to label Indians as scammers because there so many of them living in bloody Africa! Yes there are African scammers as there are Americans,Asian, etc and as well there are f….d up European, Asian and American countries as well. And please do not insult our intelligence by asking us to watch a film to understand a whole continent.What could be more shallow.

Then again maybe it isnt after all, there are loads of murderers in the UK, but hey go watch Inspector Morse [TV series].

Nikke Lindqvist mars 22, 2007 kl 15:38

Dear Kayode,

I’m not sure this is a discussion that we need, but after following several of these scammers for quite some years now, it’s clear that many of them eminate from countries with poor anti-fraud laws and week national police forces and/or heavy corruption.

Two of the most popular countries for scammers are Nigeria and the Philipines. That is clear.

As to Virgilio’s comment about Africans. You are of course right. But I really think that Virgilio meant to make a geographic description and not a racist or even ethnographic. When I say Britons, I mean anyone living in the UK and not the fair-skinned, redheads.

Let’s keep to the topic, and let’s not drift into a discussion of race here.
Scammers are scammers, regardless of skin tone or hair color.

Edward Wayi mars 23, 2007 kl 14:54

Dear Sir/Madame,
I received a msg congraturating me that I have won a big sum of money. I replied and I was about to send my bank documents to you. But then, I decided to check in the net if this is real. Kindly let me know if Microsoft is so generous to just give money like that.
Thank you.
Ed Wayi.

Nikke Lindqvist mars 23, 2007 kl 16:41

Dear Mr Wayi,

I was not the person who sent you the mail. The purpose of this site is to do exactly what I’m doing right now:

No. Microsoft as a company doesn’t give away money on the base of random e-mail addresses. The message you received is nothing but a scam, intended to cheat you of your money, and in the worst case try to empty you bank account.

Don’t send any bank documents or xeroxed passports or anything. Just throw away the message and forget about it.

Nikke Lindqvist mars 28, 2007 kl 23:25

Hi Barhim,

Microsoft has never run a sweepstakes programme, so you can be very sure that the mail you received is fake, and only intended to cheat you, either of money or your financial information.

Hello Mazel,

Did you check the website http://www.swiftgroup.tk? They’ve done quite a good job at faking a courier service site, but behind the curtains… Take a look at the form behind the link ”Track your package now” at http://www.mymailbomb.webhostingkingdom.com/swift/swiftexpress2.htm

I wouldn’t trust them with any information whatsoever!

Nikke Lindqvist april 17, 2007 kl 21:55

Daryl,

The first thing that draws my attention in your mail is the fact that they use a yahoo.co.uk address. No real claims office would use a free e-mail service instead of a mail domain of their own.

If this claims process is linked to the Microsoft Sweepstakes, you could just call Microsoft and ask them if the lottery even exist. I did, so I can spare you the time. It doesn’t.

Thanks so much for this site. I recieved 3 of these Microsoft emails today within minutes of each other. Even KNOWING it was a scam, I gave it just enough creedence to google it, and found your site. If I, the fairly seasoned internet cynic had even a little doubt about its veracity, I can really understand how they can lure in people who are more trusting. I guess the hope that we can have a lucky thing happen to us is really strong. They are preying on our hope. For those in real need it would be a very stong pull. Thank you so much for doing your part to help out. If it seems too good to be true, be assured, it is!

Umang april 21, 2007 kl 9:22

I am not going to fall for GBP 1 million, you know it is a lot of money and no one is going to give that kind of money for nothing ! So I request people not to fall for these hoaxes.

Hi, I received the email of identical contents from the ‘Holland branch’ (presumably of ‘Microsoft’) a couple of days before, signed by pierce van Barsel and the other (the same day!) from Greg Smith, based in London. I replied to that email ( unfortunetelly) with my name, surname, telephone and temporary addresse. They sent me a reply asking about the copy of passport or driving license, which confirmed by suspicions, so I decided to check it on the internet. What is quite interesting in my case, I consulted an astrologer for a free reading 2 weeks before and she has ‘forseen’ that I am going to win an unexpected, big amount of money through lottery. The astrologer is called Jenna and she does not have a webside that can be visited by any internet user, as only after you send her your name and date of birth and she does a reading for you, the webside with that reading is sent to your email addresse and then you can enter it with your personal letter. I do not say there must be a connection, but I think that the coincidence is far too appealing to be ignored.

I. Joensen juni 22, 2007 kl 12:22

Hi.
I too have received such an e-mail where I should have won 1 mill gbp. I knew it was a scam with a yahoo mail, but thought I call this man in UK, who was my contact. his name was Garry Jolly, and spoke a very bad english. I could hardly understand him which I kept telling him. Anyway I sent the information they wanted after having seen that there is no information about my passport or my bank. so now I am just waiting to see what happens – if they want any money from me or what. How dare they do thisto people. I wish there was a way to catch these people.

Mitul juni 24, 2007 kl 0:27

On 16 June 2007 at 3:56 pm following message was sent to me by some bustards from e-mail address ”m_contract17@hotmail.com”. Nobody should feel excited getting this type of message or e-mail. Efforts may be taken by ‘Microsoft’ to catch hold and punish some of these stupid people with the help of law enforcing agencies. I am putting some of their telephone numbers where I could talk to them. These numbers may be tracked. But possibly they have not given their original name rather they have given false names:

Thanks.

sanjib juli 2, 2007 kl 16:16

you are absolute right VIRGILIO & ABDULLAH, i met one of them by going to their address at London. They are bloody Africans.. KAYODE you are talking about indians ?? In india your bloody nigerians does all the scamming relating to cocaine drugs etc. lets fuck off that.

I think, these are all techniques to get the valuable personal data so that one could try to enter into your email id by changing the passwords using that data and after that they could stole your bank / card details (alongwith the passwords which one usually keeps in the email ids) to transfer the funds. So always be aware to not to give the exact data, what one could do is to give false datas and keep them trying. As i will be doing that..

cheerssss

HEY!I ALSO GOT AN EMAIL LIKE THE ONES U ALL HAVE BEEN TALKIN’ ABOUT.MY GOD ,WHAT CONS! THEY ARE CROOKS ,RASCALS AND AS MY PAPA IS SITTING OVER HERE ,I CANT SAY THEM WHAT I WANT TOO.THEY NEED TO BE TO BE PROSECUTED AND YES THEY ARE NIGERIANS AGAIN.IT IS GOOD THAT THEY ARE SUBJECTED TO RACIALISM.HELL DO WITH THEM.

Frank J Martin juli 17, 2007 kl 3:28

I too receive the same email saying I have won a million pound. U would have been duped if it was in Amercan dollar. No offence but pound or euros are not saleable in othr part of the world.
Back to the lottery email..I think if we are not easily consumed by greed, then we would not fall for that scam. I definitely believe this is the work of Nigerian scam masters. No offence but Nigerians are known all over the world for their scam works. Never believe the Nigerians, period. They go from countries to countries cheating on people. Many have been victimised by them. Here in our country, M’sia, they cheat on single women, have sex with them, took pictures and threatened to publish them in the www. The victims have to pay some amount of money to prevent their pictures going to the www. There was a case of a woman who killed herself after her picture was published in the www.
I am not being racist but all of us need to be carefull with the nigerians.

Hi Everyone,

Surely these scammers must know by now that we have sussed them out. I have recieved these dodgey emails and letters (Mostly letters) and here is how I deal with them. I send a nice reply back saying that I am delighted to have won the money and I wont be sending them the required amount…but DOUBLE the amount that they want. In sheer gratitude for my win because I am so poor, Live in a cardboard box and eat leftovers I find in McDonalds bins. They must accept my money and If they would be so kind, take it out of my winnings to save extra paper work. I also send their information back with this little comment in red felt tip pen. KISS MY HAIRY ENGLISH ARSE YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED BY A SCAMMER. I do this because I send it back in their envelope with : Addressee to pay postage at above address. Hehehehehe. Keep up the good work and someone, please close down Nigeria an India. They should be closed due to lack of interest anyway !!

I have rec’d the same e-mail this morning. But I also rec’d e-mails about jobs opportunities from the UK, telling me I can make over 5,000.00 weekly by cashing their check and paying their investors of course using my checking account. They are replying to me from career builders and Monster. Of course I did not reply. I also rec’d a check in the mail for 4,495.00, I called the BBB and they advised me exactly what I thought if was bogus. It was written from a Bank in Canada, so they gave me the number and I called. Again they verified that it was Bogus and now I have a case number if they can every catch the grow of people and go to trial. He ask me if I called the phone number on the letter and I told him no. I was advise that this is all organized crime and once they get your information they would share that information within the organization. Be aware and careful……

Chevon augusti 23, 2007 kl 0:12

Yep, I got the same email. Glad I checked it out first. Although a red flag came up for me when I saw they wanted me to pay up to 650 bucks for my ”winnings” to be sent to me. I thought, ”hey, just take that 650 out of my ‘winnings’ ” It was tempting, though. Tempting enough to make me buy a lotto ticket.

WHAT DO YOU THINK??

Ali augusti 26, 2007 kl 7:49

It amazes me that anyone would ever think that getting an e-mail notice about winning any money at all would ever be real (especially hundreds of thousands), and even go so far as to provide bank information to anyone. The same goes for any business opportunity via e-mail, cashing a check for someone, any transactions involving money wires, etc. Everytime I get one of those e-mails, I forward them to an internet fraud center or to the authorities and wonder how they ever make any money at all. But apparently they must; I thought only the elderly were targets.

No, it is not true. What is true however, is that great sums of money don’t just appear out of the blue. I have never heard of a lottery that you can win without first buying a lottery ticket.

The fact of the matter is that this is a hoax BY AFRICANS!!!! I have done plenty of research and I know this to be true. YES! there is a lot of good africans out there, just as there is good and bad in every race, and scam artists in every race. This scam just so happens to be organized by Africans

Virginia Dare november 4, 2007 kl 23:54

What kind of moron would even respond to an email scam like this? I even tried typing in the web address-uh, no such one exists. Surprise! I believe the best way to make money is to carefully invest and save, not fall for a stupid ass scam like this one.

My class of 4th graders will be entertained to hear about this one tomorrow. They need to continue to be extra careful on the computer for the rest of their lives!

ximena november 12, 2007 kl 22:59

Thanks for publishing this, I was about to make payment to send me my check.

Ruth november 19, 2007 kl 0:42

I got the same e-mail also, but I was SMART enough to do research on this scam. I knew right away pass on the word please, so that naive people won’t fall for this.

Joseph F.U EGUAVOEN november 24, 2007 kl 16:20

I think there should be national awareness programs in the Telivision and print media to prevent people from falling prey to these vagabonds.
Afterall, everybody(both governments and individuals) are victims and losers in this unwholly scam permeating the society like wildfire in the harmanttan.

Also got the scam email this morning. The yahoo address is a giveaway.I am annoyed because I have a lot of work here and now had to waste time.I skip read through some of the emails sent in and saw the one from Irene Sobrinho which mentions an address which is just down the road from where I work ie corner Market Street and Von Wieligh St Johannesburg South Africa.But the Elephant Hse part I believe is rubish.If I drive past there I will just have a look if Elephant Hse exists.

Another interesting point is that my name is not mentioned in the email and the senders email is majd@adelphia.net.Leads me to adelphia website . I will try and send them this email so they can investigate.

This week I received a similar mail according the prize I have won. I check on the internet to see if this is a hoax or real, because I was thinking how can a company like Microsoft just give so a huge amount of money away, I was shocked to hear what I read, the people think we are stupid or what, because you must send a huge amount of money for delivery cost, how can you win something but then pay delivery fees.

Darn this! december 7, 2007 kl 2:53

Hi all. I received an e-mail today from UK NATIONAL LOTTERY/Customer Services (last time it was ‘Microsoft’, ha ha) – so am getting used to these silly jokes now. No matter the long reference and Batch numbers they apply to look serious. This so-called ‘Sweepstakes International Program’ scam has faulty language and bad layout blunders, so you’ll know the rest. Don’t get too exited or spend a minute too much wondering if this is serious.

i m fooled december 19, 2007 kl 19:27

By the way, just to educate some of you that might not already know… NEVER GIVE OUT ROUTING # if they ask u… since together with this routing # and your bank account #, they can debit your account wirely.. empty your whole account!!! so please watch out!

Sorry Lora,
The reason why you can’t get in contact with anyone is that the e-mail you received is fake. There is no Microsoft Sweepstakes International Lottery Programme. It’s all invented by spamming scammers who are after YOUR money.
Hopefully, they have closed down by now, since you can’t reach them.

I am writing in hopes of helping someone else who may be scammed. I live in the U.K. and I received the below email on January 5, 2008. I responsed and was given information about a courier who wanted to charge me anything from £120 to £200 depending on which courier service I selected. He also wanted a photocopy of my driver’s license and my passport. He was definitely foreign as his English was very poor and there was a bad phone connection. I believe the courier was called RScourier so be careful everyone. These people are criminals. Don’t give them any information.

Best way to get back at this scam is to flood the email address with junk mail – I entered THEIR information into as many FREE STUFF online accounts as possible. Maybe its not the politically correct way to deal with fraud mail – but it was FUN and made me feel GOOD! Also report to abuse@xcmail.com

Me too! I won big! I send them an email to send me the money and deduct any fee from it. Technically and legally, it’s still their money. And it is perfectly fine with me to deduct any expense from it. I am still awaiting their response. LTGOL (laughing their greed out loud).

We have received the same email and we were deceived by sending our information and a photo of passport and a driving license but now they require a sum of money to be sent to them as a fare for the parcel they pretend to send. I think this way is a stupid way of stealing the money of people. I would stop sending emails after sending my last email to them to ask them to send the parcel or put it in water then try to eat it.

Przemysława Trojanowska juni 11, 2008 kl 15:42

Now give it a logic thought.

1st: The information they ask you for are used easily to make fake Passports for people from other countries to get in here with no problem pretending to be YOU.

2nd: you don’t need to pay any money for a winning.

3rd: If you actually won there is no way that they will ask you about these information like ( it’s irrelevant )

People are simply fascinating. And stupid. I am AMAZED beyond belief, that after all of these posts over the past year or more, that people are STILL asking ”is it true, or just a scam?” My first thought is ”are you serious?” Then I remember though that people will believe a lie either because they wish it to be true, or because they are afraid that it is true. Use your heads people. Use reason, logic, not fancy and dreaming. Whatever situation you are in financially right now, don’t even dream that this is going to fix it for you. Just throw it away, and forget it. If you would just use your head, you would easily be able to decipher for yourself weather this was true of false. USE YOUR HEADS!!

dear mr. Nikke Lindqvist,

may i know where you got the statistics for proclaiming here in your website that two of the most popular countries for spammers are nigeria and philippines? i think its unfair naming names unless you support them with evidence. you are destroying the county’s name.

respectfully,
blue rose

Nikke november 11, 2008 kl 7:36

@bluerose:

I’ve never said that most spammers come from Nigeria and the Philippines. I have written that a large amount of the world’s internet scams are inititated and handled from Nigeria and The Philippines. Thus, these countries must have more scammers than other countries.

All I have to do is to count IP addresses in the fraud attempts in my inbox.

I’m not destroying a country’s name. They are.

I must be twice as lucky I recieved two emails at the same time winning 1 million euro. They were from different email addies but both had the exact same content and contact info. Like some others I wondered how anyone could fall for this until I heard a comment here and somewhere else that many new people earthwide are just becoming e-mail users. Guess when you’ve been one for quite a few years you lose sight of that.

k november 26, 2008 kl 6:14

African as I am, i must say, Nigerian have created a bad name for themselves all over the world. I just got an email claiming i have one…actually in the last couple of weeks, my inbox has been flooded with the scam emails. Mostly i reprt them as scam. other times i respond and notify them that the account i will give can only be accessed by me in my branch. They don’t allow internet transfer from it. AFter sending that, i never get any response from them.

Identity theft is a very real danger and emails such as the ones we have all received are a somewhat transparent attempt to commit such a crime. Yes, they will try to get money out of you but your identity is the real prize. I have been a victim of identity theft, leaving me with an empty bank account and the very real threat of debt recovery proceedings. It is an ongoing situation but I am confident that I will come out of it largely unscathed. I wish I could tell you how it happened. I certainly did not respond to emails like this one.

One thing I always consider, upon receiving these emails, is the email address. How likely is it that someone in a position to give you millions of pounds/dollars/euros will have a free yahoo, hotmail or gmail address? Is it not more likely that a large company with funds such as this would have their own dedicated email service and addresses?

On the hotly debated African question, I have to agree that Nigeria is the most common source of these emails. Having worked for Royal Mail on the Track and Trace / Fraud Hotline, I can say this with some authority. This is not an attempt to be racist, merely an observable fact. Of course, there are white people living in Nigeria too.

Oh, and I can also guarantee that there is not a single, authentic courier service that would charge $600 just for delivering a cheque. Working at Royal Mail meant that it was important to know how much the competition charged

Ian december 10, 2008 kl 9:48

I am aware of one police officer who is working very hard to get the providers of free email addresses to take responsibility for what is happening here. He is amassing a HUGE catalogue of these emails, categorised into email providers, alongside statistics of those who have fallen for the scams.

The intention is to confront the email providers and, ideally, convince them to enforce stricter controls over just who they provide addresses for.

He is confident that it can be done and I for one wish him the very, very best of luck with this.

Every email I get is forwarded to him.

I can’t believe those people who doing the criminal acts to poor and innocent people who believed they’re really the winners of these lottery and became the victims who already sent the money to those criminals. We should do something to prevent this criminal acts spread deeply by reporting to the security agencyies all over the wolrd such as FBI in United States and similar agencies in other countries.

i received one of those stating that it was from Microsoft and that the draw was in Holland and that i had won $500,000, i did try to reply to the email but nothing happened, i never gave out any info but i didn’t realise that it was a scam but last week i got another saying the draw was in Liverpool and that i had won £1,000,000, so i sent Microsoft an email and started to google this and found you lot, thank god i never send any info.
it should have been a givaway that the email addresses were free ones and that i received two within the space of a few weeks but it is always in the back of your head that it could be real.

demian februari 28, 2009 kl 21:38

Kendra Smith mars 3, 2009 kl 4:36

If you are contacted saying you have the winning email number then i advise you not to even try to contact the restricted number they give you are to even email them back as you wont get a reply it is definetly a scam and they have the nerve to say it will be reported to the house of commons if any such abuse occurs.

Am i the only person who spoke to one of these criminals?

I was so skeptical of this from the very begining, but i wasn’t gong to possibly give up a chance to win 850,000 so i rang the number, and a man pick it up….

We had a comunication problem, as i believe the man was from somewhere in Africa…

There was a few …whats?….hmmm? and akward pauses but he eventually told me to email him…

As soon as he said this, i knew for sure,,, that this was a scam, and he was a joke….

I was anoyed tho, i really wanted the money!!!!

i just want to confirm that it is a true one or not?

Angelica Dorado oktober 13, 2009 kl 21:26

Unbelievable! I just got the same email today!! I gave them my name and phone number but of course I didn’t release any financial information. I thought I’d look in to it first! Scammers! I am so glad I came in contact with this site!

MALLA PAVANKUMAR oktober 14, 2009 kl 16:37

i am very happy & i cant belive it , really i am very lucky

Siyabulela Qwalela oktober 15, 2009 kl 23:58

well i got the same email stating that i have won a toshiba laptop nd a sum of 250.000.00 GBD! WOULD LOVE TO VERIFY IF I REALLY WON

R Chua oktober 19, 2009 kl 9:49

I also got the same email as that of Ivanababy. At first, I fall for it and had sent a reply. After sending my response, providing my address, I had second thoughts about it. So I did a search on the subject where I discovered it is just a scam. How can people like these enjoy scamming innocent people, is that how they get their thrills? Why don’t they just use their five fingers, eh?

Is there some way we could fight these scammers, turn the table around and give them what they deserve? Bill Gates and Microsoft should do something about this matter as their names are being used for the scam. We should fight them back!!!!!!!!!!!

R Chua oktober 19, 2009 kl 9:54

As an Addendum, their email looks so legit. Even providing Batch No. and Reference No., Phone No.; Fax No..

I really can’t believe such things are going on in the world. I hope more and more people will realize that this is nothing but a scam.

Microsoft Corp. is supposed to know this kind of scam which makes use of Microsoft name and is supposed to find them out and sue them in a court. Why does MS not try to stop these scammers ???

ralph palmer januari 16, 2010 kl 5:31

Of course it is Africans. Yes…I’m profiling.
Especially those black assed Nigerians.
That’s where all this shit comes from.
I hope I meet one someday.
he’ll look funny lying there unconcious with one eye still partly open and his hands and feet twitching.

iM februari 20, 2010 kl 5:12

what if the scammer includes the name of the bank. and after i check the authencity of the bank through FSA in UK, they verify the bank is genuine.
the bank have also replied to me & they have verified that the winning is genuine.

There is a website of the bank and a picture of the officer is even on it. the bank replies me using the bank email address (bcos the email add reply is not of a free email eg gmail, yahoo, hotmail & etc). But they need me to open a premium account with the bank in order to transfer the winning to my country.

Does this all make any sense?

nikkelindqvist februari 20, 2010 kl 18:30

Now this sounds really interesting.

What's the name of the bank if I may ask?

iM februari 20, 2010 kl 19:18

Gladly.. heres the url http://www.uk.onlinerifbmgt.com/
is there a way to check the authencity of this site?
haha..and i forgot to mention they even attached a certificate bearing my name which looks more like a cut-and-paste project

nikkelindqvist februari 20, 2010 kl 20:26

Wow. It's definitely fake. The domain onlinerifbmgt.com was registered in
june 2009.

The site itself looks even more lika a cut an paste project. What do they
think? That we can't use directories?

I'd say there isn't a Royal Bank of Ireland. The site they sent you to isn't
indexed neither by Google or Yahoo and a Google search for the name gives
us:
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie...

So. Definitely a scam.

vibram fivefingers juni 11, 2010 kl 10:56

I really like this type of XX too, can you help me look at which one has higher price point?

Very sophisticated and scary, indeed!

Poticar_5 juli 9, 2010 kl 15:32

If you give your bank and account number, then they will surely empty
your account. Why not send thru western union, safe and secure……..
if they are real.

manish seth juli 24, 2010 kl 3:38

Nikke januari 6, 2009 kl 22:19

Report them to your local police – that’s the best you can do.

Nikke juli 13, 2009 kl 13:55

By educating people enough so that nobody believes in them.

Nikke juli 23, 2009 kl 19:28

Nice quote, but everyone wants to believe that there is some truth in a message telling them that they have wone hundreds of thousands of dollars. And many get decieved…

Nikke september 1, 2009 kl 22:03

It adds some extra flavour with a scammer posing as a Microsoft employee and not using a microsoft.com address but a live.com address instead.
