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

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?

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.....

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.

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.

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?

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.

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!!

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.?,
