How odd. ”Microsoft Department UK” write to me from Taiwan to tell me I’ve won £500k. It’s that email address again – working relentlessly on my behalf.
Guess what? It’s a scam. There was no draw. The scammers don’t want to give you money – they want to take it from you in the form of advance fees. Just delete the email and don’t reply.
If you’re fed up with spam invading your inbox, install Spam Bully. Works with Outlook Express, Outlook and Windows Mail (note – it doesn’t mention WM on the Spam Bully website – but I know it works – I’ve used it).
