Microsoft Yahoo! Email Draws - Fake Lottery Promotion

There is no Microsoft/Yahoo lottery or promotion like the one below. Therefore, recipients of fake email notifications like the one below, which claims they are winners in a so-called Microsoft/Yahoo! email draw are asked not to follow the instructions in them. The fake email notifications are being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into contacting them. Once contacted, the scammers will attempt to trick their potential victims into sending them money for a lottery that does not exist. If the money is sent, the scammers will take it and disappear. And, the victims will never receive the lottery prize or money they were promised.
