This email came from philfeatherstone@aol.com, named Rex Bauer

I got a message from Samsung company, UK. In the message, I got an email address of To: claimsa@gmail.com and said I will get Rs.of 90Lakhs and x7 Laptop.

Have you heard of Microsoft corporation sending emails that your account has been hacked and they can fix it for a small fee . First they send out fake emails from other people stating that you (I) have been asking them for money or their social security number and their going to send your emails to Microsoft so they can contact you to fix it . Then a fake Microsoft person sends you an email and calls you . This is the email address they use : corporationmicrosoft960@gmail.com

Here is another scam:

Thank you for the warning

I received a similar email on Oct 24 from AudI Corporation saying that I had won 900,000USD and a new AudI Q7 car from a person named Don Morgan from the AudI Corp. They mentioned an electronic e mail ballot.

The Winner Batch No. is QRB; 753113NSHJYDS

They asked me to send my name, Age, Country, Nationality, Marital Status, Phone #.

I did not respond as I knew this must be a scam. My husband wanted me to respond, but I did not.

Received this message via SMS connected to email xxxb@rochester.rr.com perhaps a link to Rochester NY and the roadrunner ISP respond to gmfto@outlook.com found your site by search.

Apparently, this group of Phishing artists is filled with morons. contacting Roadrunner and their parent is the best action.

In my email, there will be sufficient cause to file suit against the ISP for the spamming that is being done via their service. I understand that this may be a zombie account but the ISP is still responsible.

SMS reads as follows:

You have been announced the WINNER of $500,000 with Apple Laptop By Gmail Inc, CONTACT gmfto@outlook.com Email your name, address, age, num.

As you can see the limit of the characters hit. Perhaps Microsoft would like to be involved with the lawsuit as they are the recipients of personal information that has been fraudulently requested. Hmm, let's add them to the potential lawsuit, shall we?

hoorayy!!! We just won 500k, they only want us to send our name, address, age, to gmftti@gmail.com. Message came over my phone from ssfu@rochester.rr.com.

WWinnings from Gmail and Microsoft inc. Funny I don't recall google and Microsoft working together, nonetheless who uses fu in their email. Anyway, hope this helps you update your data on scammers.

Norma.

I got not 1, but 3 text today with a link to "applpromoxl@qq.com. It said I won £750000 GBP, and an Apple laptop in an Apple promo 2017. Is it dangerous for my mobile to open this link?

I just got one of these today April 24,2017....wow, I won 888,000 it's that nice...LOLOLOLOL

These people need to go to jail someone will really believe this junk and get hurt...DELETE.

Here is another scam, please do not follow the instructions in it:

"This is our Internationl Gaming Board Official E-mail ID. For any queries or assistant for your Award Prize. Kindly contact us on: inter.gaming.board@gmail.com"

Just got one also. Thank you!

I did respond to one of those emails and gave them my info because I thought it was nothing they could do with this. Now, I have made a HUGE MISTAKE

I just got one of the email.

I always wondered why people would try scams like this. Now that I've read the comment section, I see why, amazing how many will give out personnel info that easy. Add the words Apple, microsoft, google...etc to the scam and it's even easier....

I also recieve this:

They sent me one, what will happen?

This year it is a surface pro.

I just got this scam in my inbox today. I knew it was fake, but I just wanted reassurance that it was. Mine even had a name at the bottom of it,

"Events Manager: Mr. Barry Delp"

Seriously the nerve of these bastards.

I get same email on 17/10/2016.

I received this same Gmail message on 9/26/2016. I checked online and realized it was a scam and deleted it. I thought it was fishy when Apple IPad was working in conjunction with Microsoft.

I got an email from Microsoft surface pro, Barry Delp. I filled out the info they asked and sent it to them. I can only contribute my gullibility to being 71yrs old and having Dementia .I wlll never be stupid enough to send money mainly because I don't have any.

Is there anyway they can use my information to scam me or do identical theft?

Yesterday received a text informing me that I had won £200000.00 on a Euro Mega Draw.

Address for claims was grayrob25516@gmail.com

I have deleted the text. "grayrob" was the giveaway!

I had one of these and have just checked it out and cancelled it.

Well, it appears that someone is at it again. I just received an email declaring that I'd been 1/6 chosen from active online addresses. This really appeared legit...with a Google and Microsoft header on a JPG attachment. The return email address for contact was eaal1@europe.com and the "contact person" was listed as "Richard Jolly". They even offer(2) telephone numbers, a batch #, reference #, and a 10 digit winning #.

However, the originating address was ubwa[subway5@truvista.net] and the body text of the initial email simply read "Z&".

Here is another scam:

there is a 2016 Gmail lottery scam going on now. I recieved the Email then; one from the Carrier that is to deliver the check...but it was going to cost me around a grand to get it delivered...If you win something it should be free...I knew it was a scam because I never win anything.

I just got this very email.in attempt to ruin their day, I sent an email back saying I am aware its a scam and their information as well as email has been printed and put on file for fraud and has been forwarded to google headquarters and they are advised to contact their lawyer.in less than a minute they responded saying they were hacked and was not aware of the email being sent. Ha! got ya!

I didn't actually forward their information. But, it was nice knowing I may have given them the scare to reconsider sending out that message again.

I just received this email so glad i looked it up.

I just got this women telling me she saw my name on the list and she got her money and if I am interested her name is nicole Bergeron.

She is going to send me link, but won't click it. Going to unfriendl her. I think she is using someone elses name,she's the blonde.

Just got this email today saying I won 500,00 and a new apple laptop from google outlook. Why do people scam people .use the internet for educational purposes and fun. Now it's full of crap and people from other countries scamming people out of thousands of dollars. It's ridiculous.

I got one today but says it's with windows 10 and Google.

I just got one .. They have all these high up computer people, why don't they stop all these scammers... Ugh!

I just got one if those scam emails.

I received an email almost exactly like that one, but the curious thing is that it even said that it will not reply to any of my questions, except if I were to contact the email listed with my information.

The person that they claimed to be is Wiggins, Craig L. and the email is wiggins.143@buckeyemail.osu .edu I looked that email up and it showed me that it's linked to Ohio State University and it looks like there is a Wiggins working there, but his name is Geoff Wiggins.

What a mean email. I already started planning my $500000 vacation.

How do I get my money back if I have been scammed?

I received an email from Austin D Benton from bentona@uwplatt .edu which reads:

"Hundred thousand united states dollars with microsoft-surface pro 3 laptop by gmail corporation in conjunction with microsoft window. we collect all the gmail address of the people that are active online from the gmail directory; among the people that subscribed to gmail and various microsoft windows users. we only select five peopl as our winners without the winner applying and we are also congratulating you for being one of them.

However you will have to fill and submit the below information to the events manager CONTACT EMAIL GMGTH@ OUTLOOK.COM

NOTE WE DONT RESPOND TO FORWARDING EMAIL, YOU HAVE TO SUBMIT YOUR DETAILS TO THE EMAIL STATED ABOVE.

I received an email from Spurgetis, Evan marked (no subject). The letter informed me that I won five hundred thousand United States dollars with Microsoft-Surface Pro 3 Laptop by Gmail Corporation in conjunction with Microsoft Windows. Then it mentions that I have to fill out my contact info and send it to GMFT@ OUTLOOK.COM.

It also said to contact the events manager department to submit my info and that the Events Manager's name is Mr. Barry Delp

Since I have opened this email is my information compromised?

Received a friend request from Nicole Bergeron on Facebook. Then a few days later she shares that she had just cashed her lottery winnings and asked if I cashed mine yet since she saw my name on the winners list. Referred me to Clovis Erwin to obtain my winnings. He let me know I won $500,000.00 through Smartphone technical. Have to send money through Moneygram or Western Union to him for processing and sending it out FedEx. He said he could not use my FedEx account for payment or cashier check to company.

What can happen if you submit you personal info?

I received this email too, from someone claiming to be name: Mr.Wilfred Kumar(Dispatch Officer). I actually thought it was real so I sent my info to him until he had asked me for money, like 300$ for shipment fee... What a scamming joke!

I just received this email November 16, and I should of googled this site then, but I didn't. I wanted to see were they going to ask for money. Last year around this time I received a fake publishers clearing house email stating I won; and my little sister informed me if you won some money they would not make you pay for something you won.

Thank you for sites like this. I should of known I was being scammed although that money would of been useful it was not meant to be..

This looks so fake, it is ridiculous.

I googled it and validated my suspicion it is a SCAM.

Then, went back to the suspicious email and marked it SPAM. It completely disappeared from my email. It is not even in my spam folder.

What a HOAX.

I suspected the letter to be fraudulent and this to be a possible scam. I searched the email address in GOOGLE and it didn't seem to be a real or safe email address. I then went to Cortana, and typed in my concern. Thank you for your reply and I will definitely share this with all of my friends. Thank God I am not naive enough to believe that someone would randomly "give" me $500,000 and lagniappe too. Thank you for your response. K. Martino.

I received this e-mail and was told to send info to: gogm@outlook.com

I was sent one from this email address:

Guzman, Olivia E. <guzman.116@buckeyemail .osu.edu>

Mwltp@outlook.com send the same Gmail lottery email to me.

Email address: "admsnlottery3@fioptics.com" sent me a hoax/scam lottery information claiming to be from Nokia and Microsoft for $500,000.in which I was prompted to find out if it was a real lottery or scam.. And apparently they are still sending scam emails.

I just got an email notice from gmail/Microsoft online promotions 2015 asking for my address,age and gender and saying I won 500,000 USD. Right off I was thinking scam but wanted to see what their reply was.

My instincts were confirmed when the reply email said that I would have to pay fees in advance of receiving the check and a certified letter of authenticity. Any time you receive correspondence from over seas asking or saying anything pertaining to money please beware.

I got one of these this morning saying that I had won $500.000 and a nokia phone. It looked so real I actually thought I had won.

I sent them my basic info like phone number ect. I never fall for this stuff so I am slapping myself. After I sent that I got a email asking me to pay for shipping to receive the check I then knew it was a scam and I started doing research online and I found this site.

I then forward the email to Spam@uce.GOV. I don't plan on falling for something like this again. If you didn't enter a contest you didn't win.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL. THERE ARE SCUMBAGS OUT THERE TRYING TO ROB YOU!!!

I also received a email yesterday and I sent the information with out thinking. But from now on I will be aware of such things like this and make sure I do a lot of searching before it happens again.

How do I get my information deleted from scam email...and how did it get past SPAM filter? How do I make sure viruses not attached to my system?

This scam is really going strong. I am sending you copy of what I received this morning. I fell for it and then I found this site. Thank God for this blog. Never allow your personal financial crisis to be the reason that you desperately fall for scammers. Here's to waking up the rest of the vulnerable folks out there.

I got a Gmail lottery email yesterday from gogm@outlook.com, saying that I have won $750,000 and a Nokia X dual SIM phone. I almost sent my details until I researched and saw it's a Scam!!! Then right now, I've looked for the email and it has been deleted; it's no longer in my inbox.

I just received this same email a couple of days ago. They also sent a follow up email with information on contacting their delivery service, Global. Thought it sounded fishy, which is why I started researching and found this page.

What do I do if they have my info.

What if u send your information what should you do next

I was so pleased to have asked the question - in reply to their first message on 9/21/15 - "Could I please be provided first with proof that this is NOT A SCAM?", because when I didn't hear back from the scammer(s), I went on-line and saw the list of lottery scams on www.onlinethreatalerts.com. I also Googled "buckeyemail.osu.edu" which sender's address was on their first email and found that it was a free student email network associated with Ohio State University! Should this not be reported to the University in question?

Today on 9/25/15, I received a second message from them with detailed instructions for receipt of the $500,000 and a request for my personal data. I was fully prepared and in reply sent the article on Lottery Scams as well as the entire Fraudulent Email Message alert in that article to them. I should have added that I would report this incident to crime-stopping agencies but assume that they will now switch to a different scheme.....

Carpe Diem - Raleigh, NC

I just received a Microsoft email that says I'm the winner of 500,000.00 and I did sent back what they asked me. I didn't know it was a scam, what can I do now? Please help

I sent them my address,phone,occupation, genter, age. :/

I just received one today. Offering the $5000 and a surface pro 3.

I just received one today. Glad I opened it to see the email they wanted me to reply to. The email from which it came: mo.109@buckeyemail.osu .edu , has no results on Google. I will forward it to the Dean of OSU to let them know it is coming from their server. Thanks for alerting me of this scam!

This is a scam.. Microsoft already had your info.. Google does too.. they have been collecting it.. but the thing is..if I tried some scam like this..they would have me shut down in half a day with federal agents all over my house..but no one does nothing to these guys..kinda makes you think the powers that be ,at very least ,sanction this stuff..

Is it okay to trick them back to get them to stop. I don't want to be mean, but I want them to stop.

If I have sent a reply to this user already, what can they do with my information? Is there any way for me to fix this, or remove the sent email?

Thanks.

I received one and almost sent them my info. Then I researched it in "google" and found it to be a scam. Thank you google.

Another email they are using is "mcwlff@ outlook.com" got it today.

But ya know.... with the amount of money microsoft pulls in each year from all of us sheep, it would be really incredible for them to do a yearly giveaway like this. Give a little something back to the little people. How much money do you really need Mr. Gates 😟

Just sayin 😕

How to block this kind of scammer?

I just got one. Didn't reply to it instead I googled the email. First that came up is that it is a fraudulent email. Hate these scammers.

I received one today, good thing I didnt give out my SSN or credit card information.

I just received a email to my gmail account saying "you are one of our 5 lucky winners to receive a check for $500.00 with a Microsoft-surface pro 3 laptop by Gmail Corporation". Hawkins hodges sent me the link to my gmail account- to go to GMLTH@OUTLOOK.com to submit my information- contact- Events Manager- submit your information- Events Manager- Mr. Barry Delp.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

I just got an email very similar to the one shown on this website literally 10 minutes ago. Is this crap for real??? A five hundred thousand U.S. dollars with Microsoft Surface pro- 3 Laptop by Gmail corporation????

The person sending me this has an email called: gmlth@outlook.com

They are asking me for all my personal info including my address, phone number, and full name. Just tell them to p*ss off or better yet, delete the d*mn email. It's a SCAM!!!!

8-30-15..I just got this too. Glad I looked it up..didn't look right when I saw words misspelled, and some words without spaces in between.

I don't see a company like Microsoft,or Bill Gates for that matter, sending out such an unprofessional email. I also doubt they would need that kind of info from you.

These crooks need to smarten up...ALOT. Or at least proof read their material...This a topic for a new spin off of an old show...We can call it, "America's Dumbest Cyber/Online Criminals". The first episode could be about the lottery email notices, and the hilariously misspelled and misspaced, mispunctuated letter body, that went out to probably millions like that.

Yup, I got this email today ! These people need to be stopped and caught and rot in a foreign prison somewhere soon!!! Get a job or a 711 like the rest of them !

I was contacted by coon.136@buckeyemail.osu .edu and told to contact gmlth@outlook.com.

I got a similar msg today.....

Mine asked for no money.

Why isnt apple and microsoft putting a stop to this,thanks alot mighty and powerful apple,I HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE!

Thanks, that's very helpful.

I was sent this email this morning! I figured it wasn't real.

Google and Microsoft need to put a stop to this.

I was sent this bogus email, but it didn't look right. Thanks.

I thought my Prayers had came true lol... Just this morning I was thinking to myself, To good to be true. What I received looked like this:

"Dear Google Email User

I have just got one today wanting 390.00 to get my winnings.

I was the lucky recipient of one of these emails...glad I Google it. LOL.

I was scammed just today and then I came across this. I like post, great information.

What if you already sent it before you found out it was a scam what happens next

I received this email yesterday saying I had won and for me to send my information. It was signed Bradley Peters and I could contact Barry Delp.

I was also sent this oh you won $500,000 dollars and a Microsoft Outlook Windows & Nokia whatever. I was to reply to this email mi_wad@ hotmail.com.

Please go get these scammers for trying to get people's info. I would think that Microsoft and Nokia would want to go after these people.

Also it came from Wendy Holden <vh74@fuse.net>

Thank you.

I just received the following email as detailed below:- How genuine is it?

Why can't Google and Microsoft...sue the sender for copyright infringement ...this is CRAZY.

I just received the e-mail at 1:11 AM on Sunday July 19, 2015 from e-mail address ftalley@knology.net so yes, it is still going on.

Surely nobody is dumb enough to think that anything like this is even remotely legitimate in this day and age where there have been countless news broadcasts and warnings to the general public.

I just hope that no one falls prey to these people! Also, PLEASE always forward e-mails like this to Spam@uce.GOV ! That's the United State's Government's department that handled these types of things for several decades now...

Just got an email almost the same but not the apple computer. It's Nokia X2 Dual Sim Windows phone. I knew it was a scam, but wanted to let you know that they are still doing it.

I just received that email today, so glad I did not reply to it. Thanks for the info everybody.

Just"won"too! Knew something was not right when the email address was foxmail. Googled it and it's from China!

Oh no I just got scammed. What can I do, I gave my info?

Got an iMessage from one Clovis Erwin. Said she is with smartphone.informed me I had won 500,000$ from a partnership between smartphone and Facebook. All I have to do is enter my phone number and address and fed ex will courier or send me my check.

I just got this in an E-mail:

This email is to inform you that your email address has just won you Nine hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($950,000.00 usd) and a IPHONE 6PLUS ,Apple MacBook Pro 15 inch (MC976HN/A) for this year 2015 lottery promotion, which is organized by the APPLE COMPANY INC, We collects all the email addresses of the people who are active online Yahoo and Hotmail, Gmail/other Emails, we only select Five people as our winners through electronic balloting System without the winner applying

Thank you, I received an email from MSNL11@HOTMAIL they asked for the same information using a different email address.I am grateful that you shared this important information.

This is horrible what is this world coming to??😔

I was contacted as a winner and thought it to be the truth until they wanted money to send the check....no way what a scam.

I just got a message saying I won and I did respond now what will happen.

This came to me today:

Omg! I really need your help on this type of scam. I did responded with all the info they asked for. What can I do now? Please help me.

Rose

I sent my info out accidentally believing it was real today. Did my research on it cause something didn't feel right and found out it was scam. What should I do next? I did send out my info.

What can they get with that info? Or if you open the letter doc what kind of trouble am I in?

So glad I found this. I got this email today and almost submitted the information. I was going to email the address given at the bottom to ask of the legitimacy when I realized it had nothing to do with gmail.

Thank you for this post. I cannot afford to get scammed.

I just got an email from Gmail lottery saying I won 750,000.00 They say to contact Trans Global Logistics for my check. Ha! If it were only that easy! I have to admit, I was almost going to do it, but my common sense told me NO NO NO!!!

Is there any way to report this scam or something?? I hate being victimized.

Thanks for the heads up! I ve received one today, and honestly got excited for a second!!! People should do their homework before they volunterly provide their personal info. Again thank you!

I just received the scam email as well. How I knew it was a scam? I could really use the 500 Grand and my luck does not run that way..thanks for this post.

I can't remember how many of these notices I have gotten in the past few years. If these were real, I would be a multi-millionaire by now.

It is strange that a person receiving so many of these wouldn't think something about this is fraudulent. I didn't volunteer any of this information to win it, so why do I need to provide this information to collect it.

Everybody please be careful because there are individuals out there to steal you blind if they get a chance ( I think most of you already realize this).

Every time I get one of these, I report it from my Gmail options:(Report Scam)and hopefully the proper authorities will find and prosecute them.

Thank you, but today I sent my data mistakenly to scammers. What I do now?

I received an email saying I would receive $750,000.00 and an apple computer from Gmail. The reason I had my doubts about its being real or not was the fact that the information had to be emailed back to the event coordinator for Gmail at an email address that was not a Gmail address, which told me right way this was not right. I called the Better Business Bureau then I Googled it and sure enough it's a scam. Thank you everyone for making sure those of us who received our notices after you all could find information to protect ourselves thanks to all of you!!!

I received an email identical to this one today. My family was skeptical about it but I was so hopeful that is wasn't a prank and I'd actually won money.

I was so excited and could not sleep the entire night. The next day I decided to do sum research and was disappointed to say the least to find that it was a total scam.

This is sad. At this point and time in my life, I am going through some major issues. My husband of 26 years had a heart attack 5 years ago which made his health rapidly decline. He is one of the hardest working men I've ever known. About a year ago he had a stroke. He lost the job working on tractors and heavy farm equipment that he was employed at for the last 10 years.

My health being as it is, poor and also declining, I am currently unemployed as well. My best friend was murdered, my mother just passed away, and so did my cousin. So when I received the email stating I was picked out 80 million people to receive 750,000 I thought maybe there was hope. So since I wasn't as smart as some of the other people and I did send them my info.

What precautions should I take at this time?

Gullable in Tx

R.

I'm surprised that the Gmail server delivered this scam to my inbox. I usually don't receive spam or scams to my inbox. They go directly to the Spam Folder and Gmail flags them as potential threats. I'm a little disappointed with Gmail over this getting through right now.

This is one I just got:

Yes,

I wanted to make sure that it was legitimate. I'm glad that I investigated, although $500,000.00 would really be great.

I'm not that stupid just to respond to something that I know I did not apply for.

Thanks so much for clearing this up for me.

I must not be special enough for a Apple Laptop.....Mine offered me a Windows phone and some Money.

:-(

and what a shame, because this was the FIRST ONE I got that was actually in US Dollars. I, along with everyone below, had the good sense to google it. oh well........lol

I received the same exact email you posted above. I have learned when it sounds too good to be true it usually is so I ALWAYS, ALWAYS Google first. I actually have a slogan "When it doubt, Google it out"!

My only fear is the day I don't find it on Google and it still turns out to be a SCAM.

Thanks!

I got one today too,thanks for the warning!! Really helpful!

I should be a billionaire by now.. I've been getting these emails for years now..SCAM, SCAM

I just got one of these exact same emails today and I'm so glad I decided to Google and see if the named person as the event manager for Gmail corporation was a real person bc; now I can avoid being scammed. Thanks so much for the warning!!

I just saw it in my mail today and checked with google if there was really a lottery going on. However, when I found out that it was a scam, I deleted the message from my mail. Luckily I had put a protection on mine so it was put immediately on the trash.

I received a letter that said I won $750,000.00 it was from Luna Rafa and it said the event manager was Marta Francisco.

I received an email from ELISA JOAN (3lisa42an@embarqmail.com) stating I was one of 7 random winners of $750,000. Hahaha! I was asked to reply to the "Events Manager" MARTA FRANCISCO @ gogm@qq.com

I tried to find any kind of information on this email but I couldn't. I even looked on Snopes. When I couldn't find anything I did respond since they didn't ask for money or my social security number. What should I do now?

I got this message, do that mean that my account is unsafe now?

I received and email asking me to contact email mnx11@qq.com about prizes i won from microsoft outlook windows & nokia microsoft windows and i have not answered it as my son thinks its a scam. Do you know if it is?

Thank you for your help. I have been a victim of a much more vicious scam in the past, and would like to help prevent others from being victimized. I don't click on ANYTHING I am not sure of, any more.

Beware! These emails are an organization of scammers who seek to know their personal data and then grab your money in different ways. Never reply to the email messages and report them to friends to make them aware.

This is a scam:

My mom received one too. The person who sent it was named Sophia Perez.

I just got one of these seemed too good to be true

I am glad I google the lottery... SCAM

Well first of all I personally want to say thanks guys for your warnings . I got the same scam yesterday and like a broke man in need of cash I did send some of my information, but no money.

Same here.told me I was one of 5 winners that has won $500,000 USD and an Apple laptop. Gave me three options for Global Courier.

I foolishly gave some info, but no money (thank God). What tipped me off was all of the spelling and grammatical errors in the emails. Plus, why would this be coming from India and not here in the States?

My original email came from a woman with a University of Georgia email account. Thank God above I researched it before I sent them money.

If I submitted my information in response, what should I do to prevent anyone stealing my identity?

I have also received numerous scams such as these and most of them originated from Nigeria, so please be careful, Do not send money or any personal info, if its a legitimate winning it will go through attorneys, so be careful. They all will tell you not to involve attorneys or anyone in the legal field; that's a big red flag and they will ask for money for processing fees.

Do Not Fall for this, they are scammers!!

So far this year I have rec'd 2 of these. I tried to contact Google, Gmail, Outlook, and others to no avail. If it feels to good to be true it probably is. Thanx for finally bring attention to this scam.

There are also scams re the FBI homeland security united nations and so many others.kpb

DTDC Courier Service. Tel: (91)-81-47100829

ask $395 to send to DelhI India

yup, just got it, 3 red flags went up, googled it, verified the scam.

Wish I had the ability to sent back a virus, malware, trojan, worm or the like to "thank" them.

But I don't have that kind of vicious, unscrupulous character or ability.

Hopefully there is a reality somewhere in this multiverse where this is not done.

Stay alert, watch your 6, and prosper!

I was wondering about this! I foolishly sent my info the first time, but in a week and a half I had heard nothing back.

Today I received the same email again. So glad I check the address on the net this time, thanks to the person/people who put this site on the net!!

Just got this. Kinda figured it was a scam, darn it.

Hello,I am one of the victims.I am really worried,because I have had sent my personal informations.I feel astonished with how they able to use the name of these reputed & respected companies.Thank you very much.

Please - I foolishly replied to the email "Gmail/Microsoft" scam asking for my personal information. I received another email today asking for money to continue the process toward receiving my winnings.

Of course I have my wits about me now and will not answer. But my question is now.....Am I in trouble because I replied to the first request? Is there something they can do to me since they now have my name and address etc.???? Do I need help here???

From: Worried

Halo, I too got a lottery scam and I gave in my details and they are asking for my ID/DRIVERS LICENSE~ and they sent me a form to fill in and put my signature. They say I won $920,000 USD, and ask me to pay $200 USD for consultation fee and $5000USD for service fee after I receive the money won.

Please help me is this true or false, #mangement deal with these scammers.

I've received a notification of being one of 5 gmail winners for being active online in the amount of $500,000 USA dollars.

They've asked me only for my name, address, sex & occupation. No money has to be sent. This email was in a DOC...& private. Not in my junk mail. I know it's probably a scam, but sure looks kosher ...

Again, they've aske d for NO cash, only my name & address in which to send.

Strangely, the person I'm to contact is from hotmail & not gmail.?,

What would you do .?.

Many thanks, Raven.

The name of the contact for the lottery is listed below. I believed them and almost sent them the $395.00 but thank God I decided to search for Gmail lottery.

I got the names and contacts plus the mode of payments below. I hope gmail and Google are able to do something about them; press charges or something so this can stop.

Here is the person I am to contact when I send in my moneygram. Hope no one gets snowed by these people,come on get a real job like the rest of us.

We are hard working and it would be nice to be blessed like that but that's why we keep our faith right.

I have just received this in my gmail account stating that I have won 750,000.00 dollars . How many more people have gotten this message ? How can I get them to stop sending me this stuff ? This is the email they gave me to send it to gwgl@qq.com

I got this scam offering 800,000,000 British Sterling Pounds. I had never heard of this scam and they were not asking for any banking info.

I was about to reply to this but thought I would check it out first. I checked Snoops but nothing found so I checked Google and found this article.

There needs to be more awareness out there on this subject...

I received an Email stating I won $800,000 and an Apple laptop for the last month of December 2014 and asking for my name, occupation, phne number, age and address. I have not replied and I found numerous blogs staing this is a scam.

Thanks for the "heads up"

If it looks too good to be true it usually is.

Received this fake email message:

So happy that I investigated this e mail about winning the gmail Apple lottery. I am just now resolving another phone/internet scam.

With Shubham Impex Ltd. which involved Internet securities tech service. You always have to remember that the Internet alows you to invite predictors into your home on a daily basis. Don't allow greed to cloud your judgement.

Mom was right when she stated "if it sounds too good to be true,it probably isn't."

I received this GMAIL Windows 8 winning scam. The mail said I won $500,000 and an Apple Laptop too. The name on is Mr. Barry Delp, saying to send to gmltto@foxmail.com, name, address, etc asap in south Georgia.

I received the same email from Samantha Catherine. She said she works for Google and I won.

Be careful everyone this is a tricky email.

I immediately knew that this was a scam, people will try anything to get you. Be mindful that you have to participate in a lottery to be a winner or loser. First sign of a scam, when it sounds to good to be true...

Hey, I just got a google chrome quiz contest stating that I wil get a chance to win an apple iphone6 or nexus or sony play station!!!

Please help!

I cancelled the contest right then after stating I'm single!!

Will there be any problems in the future!!

Shall I deactivate my gmail or something? Is there anything such as google chrome contest or any thing?

Wouldn't they have it? And shouldn't it have a Gmail address to reply too lol so stupid if a scam.

Got this scammed today.

I just received one like it yesterday from mwys websg and had to contact a Mark Vanda email:promotional.agents2014@aim.com or at mark.2014networkoffice@gmail.com dated January 02, 2015. It requires my name, address, country, company, tel number to process my winnings. I've supposedly won $920 000 US from 2015 Network Promotional Award.

This is after two years of SMSing you have won R1000 000, R750 000, etc

I got scammed dawn.

I received a message from mlpisani@zoomintern.net.

The mail said that I won 800,000 pounds and apple laptop. And the mail want me to send my identification.

The mail said that I should contact claims.unit1@outlook.com to get my winnings

Just want to report it to gmail so that they can do something immediately about this scam.

My favorite is you won an Apple, not a Mac, made by Microsoft. It's not even like they are trying to hide it.

I received an email telling me I won 750,000 dollars. Really wanted to believe it but stuff like that doesn't happen to me so figured it was a scam, lmao.

Yap I received this last night and did not do anything with it. Sooooooo wanted to reply that I was an officer of the law!

I received an email and submitted my information on a Saturday night. I got a response on Sunday morning that a Check questions had already been issued in my name, as delivered to the Global Courier Services together with an Apple laptop, to be sent to me.

All I have to do is contact the courier company and arrange to pay the courier fees for the delivery!

I can now kick myself for being so naive and giving them my personal information.

So far, nothing has happened, but it is still early and I worry if they can use my personal

information to commit farther fraud. I have learned my lesson.

Thanks for your alert I ask myself if these people represent G-mail why didn't they use a G-mail address instead of outlook.com?

I got this email and knew it was too good to be true and googled it to verify the scam.

I got scammed and mad about it. I know better, what was I thinking? Won't be fooled twice.

This is thread is old, yet my hubby just received this email scam this morning. I marked it as spam & reported it as phishing.

These people need to go outside & play baseball or something instead of scamming people....

I received this email this morning but I did not respond to it.instead I googled and found this site. :/

I also got this message and good when you are warned of these scams. Thank you.

Ok, after submitting my info to what appeared to be legitimate, ended up being a big freaking hoax! Preying on innocent people, people with disabilities, people struggling to find a job to accommodate their disabilitiesis completely and utterly DISHONEST! I had to retire at the age of 38 do to my call center with AT&T close down in Syracuse New York.

I've found a job working with Yellow Book USA and had to travel several hundreds of miles each and every day, which only lasted approximately 5 months and 29 days due to an Auto accident, which resulted in neuropathy, fibromyalgia, herniated discs, neck issues including bulging discs, 17 surgeries and I have to undergo three more. This was only the quote topping on the cake unquote.

Knowing how much gas cost, maintenance, on my vehicle and working 10 to 17 hours a day 5 days a week cost me my marriage the loss of my children "custody" because I could not give them a proper home to live in. I currenty pay an obscene amount of child support in the tune of $2,800.00 per month.

I currently reside living with my mother and father which is completely humiliating at the age of 48. My social life, WHICH I DONT HAVE, my medical issue, WHICH I CANT EVEN PAY FOR MY CO-PAYS, is just not enough. I CAN NOT SUPORTIVE MYSELF, LET ALOVE GIVE MY CHILDREN THE LIFE THEY DESERVE. BUT MY CHILDREN SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. I HAVE LIVED WITH THIS "HORRIBLE, HUMILIATING, LIFE AND MY CHILDREN SEE IT AND ARE are too young to do anything about it.

I, know have workmans comp breathing down my throat trying to reduce my measly $800.00 check I receicve to support myself, now that may seam like a lot of money, but don't forget my 43% that goes to my ex wife for my children. I can't support, financially, myself, let alone, my two children ages 11 and 13.

Now, addressing the issue of DS criminals that should be put away for life for extorting, bilking, fraudulent SON'S OF BI**CHES.

I am an educated man who is damaged beyond recognition mentally physically emotionally!

Someone please do something about people like this extort, manipulate, people cool just want to live their lives.today hour to hour minute by minute, thinking of where food is going to come from. Needless to say my children did not have a Christmas this year or last year and I am EXTREMELY frustrated and disappointed with all our technology with IP addresses, baiting these people who are responsible for their actions! I don't understand, I will never understand why people are so dishonest and manipulative.

Who wins here? They do! They do it over and over and over and over again! They get away with it! When is it going to stop! Who's going to stop it!? Let me guess nobody, just let it keep going and going and going and going and going and let these criminals who ARE BOUND TO HELL for extorting people like myself included.

I thought this was a legitimate email with google name and Microsoft name on it. I feel like a fool, humiliated, thinking that I could have some type of future for my 11 year old and my 13 year old children.

And for those of you responsible for this BS, YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO SOMEONE AND THAT "SOMEONE" IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF. I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL FOR YOUR ACTIONS! I'M SURE THIS ISN'THE 1ST SCAM YOU PEOPLE HAVE DONE, BUT I HOPE IT WILL BE THE LAST!

God bless, be honest, and make someone smile everyday. That's what I try and do when I get out in the public, which is not that often!

Sincerely,

The struggler, for my life and my two children life

I received one of these emails too and it would be so nice if these scammers could just get a life and quit wasting our time.

I received this email this morning but I did not respond to it.instead I was trying to reach someone with Gmail by phone instead.

The same message has been sent to me! I think its important these people learn to contain their trash rather than contaminating other peoples' environment.

Kang' from Kenya.

Hi,

I know it's a scam but I did replied to them. What is going to happen now? What should I do? It was just name address etc. So I didn't give them any passwords or card details.

Regards

I think this is horrible to send emails like this at a time when so many people are hurting financially.

I received an email asking for my info because I am one out of five to receive $5000 and an Apple laptop. Bummer its a scam. They even had a logo of Gmail and Windows 8. Saying it's from Microsoft incorporation. Wish there was a legal way to stop this.

Hello, just received that infamous email, supposedly sent from goigke ( it had their logo on it, lending more credibility to the scam) although they're not asking for any banking info, I'm sure that will follow.

I just got this email, and had red flags going up, so I decided to check it out online, and I'm glad I did! I'm sick and tired of these crooks who take advantage of good people every day. I wish there was more that could be done to deter these criminals or better yet find them and lock them up!

To all the victims out there this is an easy mistake to make the only reason I didn't fall for it is that I have been duped before by an online scam. The rule I go by now is if looks to good to be true it probably is. It's small consolation right now but it will be okay. Just watch your bank account and credit card info closely. Monitor your credit score regularly, and if anything looks wrong call your bank, and credit card company, right away!

Above all don't feel stupid, it's an easy trap to fall into, and fraudsters know it.

Thank you for launching this website, it now has a special place on my desktop! I will be telling others about it. It's a good job and important work that you people are doing, again well done!

I'm so dumb!!! I just responded to this without researching it, a big rookie mistake!!:-(

I know better yet here I am posting my stupid self.

If you know this is a scam and tech info is available WHY IS IT ACTIVE? If the FBI can identify the recent N. Korean hackers - SONY .... certainly this internet scam should be a breeze to identify & stop! Further more the use of Gmail and Windows logo used in this scam is reason enough to press legal charges.

Received this e-mail yesterday good thing I found out it is a scam.

I knew it was a scam, who sends out an email of this nature at 5:31 am? It asked for all my personal information with the exception of my social security number which I'm sure would be their next response.

They also gave themselves away by saying that I was selected electronically without having to apply.come on, the only way you will win that kind of money is by having entered into some sort of contest or lottery willingly and then you had better check yourself again if you so happen to win it. Best piece of advice is; if it sounds to good to be true, it usually isn't!

It's a down right shame that anyone who calls themselves a human being or better yet, a child of God has nothing else to do in their lives but destroy others and take their hard earned monies. My best advice to them is to get up off their butts and make a honest living like everyone else.

If it sounds too good to be true - it usually is. I'm glad for this website.

Isn't there something you can do about this scam? I'm embarrassed to say that I opened it and gave my information. Luckily I didn't send any money before I investigated.

1. Neither google nor Microsoft would work together in this way.

2. The prize would have been either a google chrome book or a Microsoft based laptop.

3. Gmail would already have most of my information.

4. Copyright and trademark information would have been included with the email. (Disclaimer)

5. There would not have been so many typos and improper grammar.

6. Unless your publishers clearing house most sweepstakes both applied for and auto submitted would not break 100,000 USD

7. There would not be 80,000 plus winners according to google!

I just received an email like this last night, but it was for only $500 and a Nokia smartphone.

Had the exact same content verbatim as some of the emails in comments below. I responded asking to confirm it was a real contest before I give my information because I know a bunch of scams are always popping up....

They can't get my info from just a response email, right? or am I in trouble??

Again, didn't give ANY info, just asked them to confirm. $500 seemed like a realistic prize. :-(

Hi,I received that exact message this morning and knew better to look this up on google. Thank you so much for having this on here because there is nothing worse then having your identity stolen.

I immediately researched and found that it is indeed a scam. Do not send them any info.

12/15/14. Just received this email also, immediately Google "Gmail 500000" and poof here I am,... still broke.

I got it 12/15/14 but I received it a week or so ago, and about a year ago. It almost got me too, but once I thought about it no kind of lottery is going to keep notifying you if its legit. They would notify you maybe wait a while then move on. Not going to bug you to claim $500,000. Then I searched it and its obviously SPAM. The SOB that does this needs to be found and taught a lesson for this.

Got this on Dec 14th 2014... Scam... thanks for the info

I just received this email. Glad I looked this up before responding.

I almost believed it! :P

Here is another scam:

"This is to inform you that you have won a prize money of ($500,000.00 USD) for this 2014 promotion which is organized by The

Google Gmail collects all the email addresses of the people that are active online, among the millions that subscribed to Yahoo and

Hotmail, Gmail we only select five people every Month as our winners through electronic balloting System without the winner

applying, we congratulate you for being one of the people selected.

1. Full Name: 2. Home Address 3 Age 4. Phone. Number: 5. Sex 6: Occupation 7. State: 8 Country:

Thank you and accept my hearty congratulations once again!"

I'm sorry, but do people seriously believe Gmail, Google, Microsoft, Coca-cola, Band-aid, the Clapper, Chia Pet, or any other company is going to randomly select you to win $$$??

What I thought was funniest was that I get $800,000 AND a, Apple laptop, lol! As if the 800k wouldn't be enough to buy myself a laptop if I didn't have one. ????

There is nothing about the email that looks valid. Even the copied logos look lame.

If Gmail sent me an email announcing I was the winner of anything (which I know would never happen), I'm pretty sure the grammar, spelling, and punctuation would all be correct.

And I'm thinking I might reply to a "GMAIL" address?

Since it is coming from GMail and all? But ok, I suppose I can give you that one since foxmail (which I know NOBODY who has an @foxmail address, btw) is from Windows.

And this is somehow a collaborative prize from Gmail, Microsoft, and Windows 8... ??????

And this:

"Hurray we are glad to announce to you that your Gmail ID have won you prize money..." HAVE?

And sorry I'm picky but I'd think Hurray might have an exclamation point or two behind it.

I mean, let's show some excitement here! I've won $800 THOUSAND dollars! ???? ???? ???? There..that's better.

Lol! Really? "Hurray"?! This is how Gmail would start an official announcement that I was one of 5 lucky random winners of $800,000?!?! Don't think so.

And ummmm..... Microsoft is giving me an APPLE laptop as a prize??? ??. Well that's peculiar.

I won it "...for this month of December 2014 lottery, sweepstakes,..." - ok, for this MONTH...but then "we only select five people every YEAR as our winners..." Well which is it, a monthly drawing, or an annual one??

..."lottery, sweepstakes,".... Hmmmm, which is it? A lottery, or a sweepstakes? Let's just cover all our bases here. You forgot "contest".

Please please please folks use your heads!

This one didn't even sound too good to be true. It sounded too fake to be true.

The email below was sent to me tonight. Thought I'd share:

"Dear Email User,

This message is to inform you that your email address has just won you $500,000.00 and a Nokia X2 Dual SIM Android Smartphone for this month of December 2014 lottery promotion, which is organized by MICROSOFT OUTLOOK WINDOWS & NOKIA.

This email was sent to me tonight. Thanks God for this search engine. ?? Scam alert!!!

I received an email as stated. I have been requested to respond to:

mrharveyevans@webmail.co.za or sapaymentoffice@gmail.co.za. the following phone number was given too: 27780362915

I did not open the email or responded, I just deleted it.

Why isn't gmail doing something about this? Has anyone tried to contact Google or Yahoo?

You cannot under any circumstance talk to a real person.

I was trying to retrieve important emails from five years ago sent from China.

No one at Yahoo wants to talk or be contacted.Google is the same.

I received this message in my gmail. I just want to know if anything is being done about this? These people should be stopped.

Thank you,

Denise

The message came from sammarie@ksu .edu

What should I do about it?

i've got email this morning, it mention I won 500000 GBP. but its not from google but from android inc. it got android logo on it. the sender is info@android-redeem.us. they was asking about personal info as well. has somebody received the same email from android instead of google before??

I was taken by the scam, I never sent money but I did give my personal information. You would think that I would learn that if it sounds to be good to be true, it isn't true.

I just recieved a similiar email on 12/4/14 from gmail saying I won 500,000 US dollars and a Apple Laptop.

Of course I was skeptic cause who doesnt want to win a half million dollars and a free laptop.

I contacted the first email they gave me with my basic info and then today recieved a follow up from them telling me to contact their courier company global corporations for disbursment and deliever of goods...but the clincher was when it said to make arrangements for payment to this company for deliever!!

Ya, No.total scam...I just hope at this point they dont get anything from me from just my basic info.

Just got an email about winning lottery and laptop...I reported it already via gmail...

I got this email and gave all my information. After sending my email I thought to check about it. I should have checked before I answered.

I was all excited about it without thinking it could be scam because I saw the Google logo and everything else made me think it's real.

My name is M A Mahamud. I am from a small village. I did not send money. I am a refugee living at Addis Ababa so I receave this scamming 2 times from gmail.com and yahoo.com so please stop this scam:

"abuse of this program. Please be warned.

I received this offer of 800 thous$ plus an apple laptop. I answered and returned all of their questions hoping it was true(gullible) and hopeful. I would imagine that I now have a serious virus. Why do people want to do this to innocent people.

Thanks for the alert . I have been on the phone with corporate trying to confirm the validity of a sweepsteaks announcement offering a $ 800,000.00 prize and free Apple laptop.

It is posted using Gmails trademarked logo. Does the SEC police fraudulent internet practices ?

Who gave people the right to solicit information on behalf of a corporate entity?

I think someone is sleeping behind the wheel.

I just got the same email tonight! Reported it as Phishing on gmail.too good to be true and any one asking for that much personal information without legal mombo jumbo attached is always a scam.

Besides, is it even legal to enter one into a contest without their consent. Yes, I admit people can be tricked with the promise of money, but really, we as consumers online should be better sceptics.

Also, I agree and hope that these scammers will be shut down!

I opened this message in my Gmail account on my Nook HD . Need help in correcting the virus. My mail will open for 2 seconds, then shut.

Received this email today 12/2/14 to contact events Mgr Mr. Barry Delp contact email is gmcrst@outlook.com I am sure this is a scam how do I stop this from being sent to me,

Mine was sent to me by Jessica Lynn Nall <jlnall@uwm .edu>

Funny, if I wasn't such a pessimist, I would have given in for much less!

I just received an email as well from the GMC rst @ outlook.com contact or submit to a Events Manage mr barry delp.

Says I won $500,000 through Outlook in windows 8 and all that stuff as well.

I just got one too. Thanks for informing me about this is scam, though I thought it was to begin with. Davenport, Iowa.

Thanks a lot to inform me regarding this scam; thanks.

A Hameed

Just got one from them claiming it was a lottery I won presented by Google/Gmail.

I received this email two days ago and didn't proceed after the second email. The foxmail account should be looked into and prosecuted appropriately! This is disgusting and should be stopped by gmail and Microsoft corporations!

Thanks for this. I also received the same email a few days ago. I did respond to the first message. I probably would have sent money but am so happy that I didn't.

Whoever own the email address gmltto@foxmail.com is a criminal!!

They send me the same e mail that is posted here. I almost send money until I read this. Thanks for the information.

I got this exact message. Researched and just as I suspected it is a scam. It really does look official but I knew it was too good to be true because I never win anything. Do not send anyone personal information.

I have received such email I didn't give my details. I did email them to say I think its a scam had no reply so guess I was right.

Just received email today informing that I won 800, 000 usd...thats why I googled about this and found this blog...scary...dont send anything though...

3 days ago gmail blocked my account because someone tried to opening it.

When I saw the activities, it was ridiculous because the place was a couple of thousand miles far from where I am staying.

Thanks for Gmail company for securing my account.

god damn it I gave them my name, address and phone number nothing else tho.

Checked my email and there it was just like you see it above. No changes what-so-ever, and to think all I did was search the return email address and hit this site.

I have had all kinds of offers from joining the secret shoppers to your long lost (unknown) relative has died "do I need to go on" and to top that is the all famous[I want to send you a large of money for you to donate to some charities and keep a small amount for your troubles.

That's about all it amounts to is trouble in the end.

I received one of these emails and replied "you have my email what more do you need; the answer I received was from the U.S government fraud division!!!

So for the fun of it I search to find any information about emails like these. LOL

Received the same exact email on 11/14/2014. from Feshuk Madison <m feshuk @ centurylink.net>

Alex Jamie <alexjamie@embarqmail.com>

<-- I got this same email from this guy. LOL

In my Gmail the file "Eq9ga.pdf" is attached so that it passes the spam filter I guess.

The attached document states that I should send all my information to this guy --- > gwm_nwx@qq.com.

Pretty interesting that neither email has a google or gmail address hu.

Mr Maritms Moore supposedly is the guys name that is notifying me of my winnings.

I can't believe that anyone would ever fall for this crap. it's hilarious that these guys keep trying with all the spelling errors and other mistakes not to mention that even if it was perfect it would still scream BS! LOL

I just received this email in my inbox. Thank you for the informative information. I also noticed they used a late deceased woman by the name of Beverly Roth; she died

November 2nd of this year.

Thank you again

I just got this mail and there is nothing in the body just the attached file

kragatz@uga .edu

above mention is the email address from where I got the mail.

the email address I had to send the email to is different too.

I have received several of these. Congratulations is spelled wrong also.

I just received one today, it said that I won $500 or an Apple product. Luckily, after I saw this, I immediately reported it. THank you for sharing information.

Received one today from "Sophia Cross." Pity it was fake. And luckily these kinds of scams never work on me. Because if something is too good to be true, it usually is.

YEP YEP !!!

Here is another one.

Just checked the address. Was sent by a name "Horowitz Sophia"

I googled the name and some popups and linked-in similar names came on. One of them was in Colombia.... probably a random name they used??

I assume the are generating "current" email lists to sell. Big business!! After that comes the real danger.... go figure>>

Just got this scam sent to me on my Gmail account ! I didn't respond to them cause I figured it waa a scam . I'm not luck enough to win $ 10.00 let alone 500,000. 00 lol

I just got one of these too!!! What a load of crap. I hope no one is sending them anything!!!

Just got this email sent to my email account in the middle of the night. Thanks for having this up. I was quite suspicious especially since you can tell by the terrible cut and paste of the logos.

I got same e-mail - and name and address and age information. Then realized it was a scam. Do I have to worry about my identity being stolen or bank accounts. No soc. sec. number was sent. I feel so stupid!

I received same kind of email today,I wonder who is this guy is and when will he be caught.Is google going to do something.

I just got one for $1.5 million. Muppet's like them should be locked away and the keys lost forever.

I just received this notice through my email and was really contemplating sending money for the lottery win. Thanks for this site.

I was really curious about this so called, Gmail Microsoft lottery, that claims that I have won $800,000.00 dollars, and a laptop. God wanted to be true, but now I realize it is not.

gmaillottery@foxmail.com - I got the same. I sent info but not SS or money yesterday.

Here is another scam:

--- ---

"This email is to inform you that your Gmail address has won you prize money of $500,000 and one Apple Laptop for this month of 2014 lottery, sweepstakes, which is organized and presented by GMAIL"

I just received today and checking right now. The posts in this blog is helpful for me. I hope it was real, but it's not. Why are they acting like this. It is unethical.

the address says from emily kanner ekanner@tulane .edu contact email gmltto@foxmail.com, ugh!

I just received this mail by a person named Douglas Neel. But I didn't reply the mail. I checked Google first.

I just received this in my a email.

I did respond to the first email and I received another one stating that I would have to pay for the courier costs.

I am sad to say that I suspected this to be a scam yet I was hopeful... I hope these people are caught! I know some people have sent money and that is awful...

I got a similar copy yesterday unfortunately I had already sent my details then I decided to check the internet and was wondering how a lottery winner can be asked to pay for the package and how that amount of money can be written on cheque and be delivered by courier. what happens to my details?

Hello,

I got a smilar email this morning. The email ID I received it from is McDonald, Molly E. <mcdonald.489@buckeyemail.osu .edu>, below is the copy of that message:

"This email is to inform you that your Gmail address has won you $500.000.00, and an Apple laptop for this 2014 annual lottery sweepstakes, which are organized by GMAIL."

I also received this email from a guy named Rex Smith and the name of the document is "Gudyd.doc". He said that I won $800,000 haha

Which I didn't do anything and received this email. Then I check in Google how true is it. Maybe we can reply back with funny informations :P

You would think Google and all of its infinite wisdoms would come up with a way to protect their users from these scams.

I just received the same TEXT from 00661233, Sadly not $500,000 richer in Perth Australia

I received this same exact email just a few moments ago. I didn't realize why it looked so familiar until I realized that I received multiple emails like this one in the past. But every time I get excited when it say lottery, then I google it, then get let down! Thank goodness for people online informing us of these spam.

Thanks! I just got the above e-mail this morning and wanted to check it out before doing anything. I appreciate this post!

I received a diferent email and say approved stamped , respond to solowarrior003@gmail.com
