 cussing  Sorry that you have been scammed.
   Several clues that will tell you that it is a scam:
  - Picked thru a computer ballet system or email lottery
  - Contact you claim agent
  - Prize is in British Pounds
  - out of the country phone number
  - Any time they mention a Batch number or your Lucky numbers
  -  This particular one says it is from Microsoft but the agent uses gmail  laughing
 
 It's always better to ask here than to respond with your information.

I get about 10 - 15 of those a week.  What I like is that they are getting really creative lately.  It just goes to show that even scammers have a sense of humor too!  crazy tongue

I have been thinking about starting a thread with copies of some of the more creative ones.  It is always worth a good chuckle to read these in the morning!   crazy tongue crazy tongue 

Just ask Abhul MacIntosh (who has 2nd grade writting skills) in Hong Kong who is running the Msn lottery out of England with a Nigerian address!  laughing
