I usually delete stuff like this but It had me down load the microsoft PDA so I did an it said Congratulation from the South africa 2010 world cup organizing lottery promotion.
Dear Lucky winner
This is to inform you that you have been selected for a cash prize of One Million United states Dollars. This is in line with our promotion for the world cup come 2010.
Is this a new way for scammer's to have us downlaod the form now?

A "BIG" scam.

I suggest that since you did the download, you do a whole system cleanup.

 sunny any time you see "lottery promotion" and especially South Africa, Nigeria, UK, delete and NEVER respond! Certainly NEVER download anything. LDS is correct, you need to do a complete cleaning of your system. You just don't know what they had you download but you can be sure it wasn't anything good.
