The "2019 Microsoft Empowerment Program" Lottery Scam

I received an email from John Thompson, management team Microsoft, supposedly that my email address would have been drawn at random for the amount of $ 755,000 that I would have won. I would have to contact the citizen banks at 1-828-278-8746 to confirm my entitlement to this amount of money.
I note it is a SCAM. THANKS, SHANNA
