Microsoft Spam Emails (watch out)

There will always be spam emails everyday, and some of them are pure stupid. Most spam emails I’ve received so far is all about lottery, jackpot and similar stuff saying that I’ve won this and that. I have received a similar spam email today with the subject “Microsoft Promotion Award Team” – see below.

Mrs. Edlyn Albert
Secretary
Microsoft Mega Jackpot Lottery

Most people will know that it’s fake, but what’s makes me laugh out loud is that their so-called “Secretary” is using Yahoo! mail. A Microsoft staff using Yahoo mail? Guess those spammers aren’t having enough wisdom, this makes their spam/scam fails badly.
Note: According to my research, this is a SCAM. If you reply to the email they sent to you, they will request for your bank information. For your safety, NEVER give out any of your information to the so-called “Agent” to avoid any loses. Just bear in mind, Microsoft staff will never use Yahoo mail, and there is no free lunch in this world.
