The "Google Asia Lottery Incorporation" email message below is a scam created to trick the recipients into sending your personal information and money, by claiming that they are the winner of the Google Asia Lottery Incorporation lottery. But, the email message was not sent by Google or Microsoft, and is a lottery scam. There is no Google lottery, and Google will never ask their users to send their personal information via email message.
This type of lottery scam will ask you to send your personal information and subsequently ask you to send money in order to receive your prize. But, please do not respond to the email message or follow the instructions in it.
Google is not taking part in or endorsing any lottery games, so if you receive an email claiming that you have won some lottery prize endorsed by Google, it is a scam.
