I was selected by Microsoft as a false Prize winner

My name is Abdu Nadir Tutu, I am from Sudan. Last month, I received an email from Microsoft Corporation Center of Marketing in London in the United Kingdom where they congratulate me and informed me that my email address was selected as winner in the powerball free messaging of Microsoft Drawn organized by the center of marketing (Microsoft Game Studios) in London-United Kingdom (UK). They asked me to provide with personal information in order to guide me receive my prize, but the latter I realized it was a fake, then you might verfy that and let me know the truth. I'm keeping the original copy of the software of the exchange of letters.

Best regards

Abdu Nadir Tutu

Khartoum / Sudan

As you have now done, it was a scam. Please see:

http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/resources/microsoftlottery-whatis.aspx .

The first thing to do is to try to stop the payments. If you have paid by credit card or gave them the card number, contact the emergency credit card company and ask for advice. Simialrly tell your bank if necessary.

The rest of what it is based on the information you gave them - read it again and use your common sense to think how it could be used. For example, if you gave them no password, change emergency.

You can also keep an eye on your bank accounts and accounts for any unusual activity.

I'm sorry that you have set up. I hope that get you it sorted soon.

  • I was selected by Mozilla to receive a free IPod2 Louisiana? 4 minutes to answer

    I was going to a site and during startup, I got a notice of Mozilla that I've been selected to receive a free iPad 2 and I had 4 minutes to answer. He said that I had been selected at random to Louisiana as a winner.

    This too good to be true couture and I used cont-Alt-del to get out. Was it a real opinion or a trap?

    Thank you don attic

    Hello! Mozilla does not run that kind of campaign. Beware, they are sometimes hidden fees, and charges additional.
    If Mozilla had such a contest, I think they don't announce it, they would just make a blog post and the price would very probably be a T-shirt. We are a Foundation, after all, we cannot give that much!

  • selection of the cmdlet return false?

    Hello

    In the specifications, sometimes the select() applet method return false. I suspect what circumstances cause the false return of the applet?

    In my mind, before the selection, the applet is resting while he should be ready to be selected. Therefore invoke the select() method should always return true in all cases.

    Kind regards

    Mike

    For some reason application, an applet may refuse to be selected:
    -It could be a 'server' applet, whose only purpose is to provide a shareable object of other applets
    -l'applet can have "invalidated" by the issuing company (expiry, loss/theft, etc...)

    It is the application provider to define the cases where a cmdlet refuses selection.

  • How to hide a menu if one of the values of it was selected but not others?

    Thanks looking for this forum, I was able to understand how to hide pull down and fields who have no digital information in them. IE, if the user selects. or if the conversion value is zero. The element show or print on the form.  What I can't find, it's how you do it if the values in the pulldowns are text? That is the drop down menu has three options "choose an item", "ITEM 1", "ITEM 2". It is default to "choose an article" and this way, I want to be hidden or the value null, but if the POINT 1 or 2 are selected. Then it shows/prints POINT 1 or 2 POINT in place.

    Thank you for your help on this issue.

    I thought about it

    and must give congratulations to George Johnson because of an answer he gave in 2008 told me the solution.

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/1152008

    First of all, I assigned a calculated value for each of the text elements.

    So here is my script.

    Get the value of the field

    var v1 = + getField("Description1").value;

    If the value is not equal to 0, then use the value

    If (v1! == 0) {}

    Event.Value = v1;

    } else {}

    If the value is equal 0 empty then the value

    Event.Value = "";

    }

  • How to remove a password that was saved using Microsoft when you connect to a site/page?

    Someone at work logged on to a site and now every time someone tries to connect to the other persons name and password pop up.  How can you erase this?  Thanks, Jim

    Open Internet Options, and then click Delete under browsing history. You see a dialog box with a set of options. Select the data on forms and passwords (selection of the option is your choice), then click on remove.

    This will clear all data like password form.
    Repeat that even if you use a different browser than Internet Explorer, but the steps vary.
    If delete history out of navigation is activated, it won't store the form data, even if the record is selected.

    I'm just so lucky, or rather, I'm lucky, because I can just click out of it and continue as usual. the first time didn't have time for it, and the next time I had even less, if I can have escaped some unluck.

    I think that the problem is related to the forum software.

  • How to intercept the radio button was selected and its data?

    Good day everyone,

    Need help on this one. This is my first post about components, specifically radio button.

    Here goes my problem, I have several groups of option button. And I want to follow the radio button on each group chose, and I'm going to get the data and pass it to a function loadVariablesNum.

    Thank you

    Any help is appreciated.

    You did not answer to my second question.  Is the button in the same timeline as the mc of content?  And now that you mention the function of the buttons, where you use this code of mine you said gives 'undefined '?

    It will be to your advantage to create a new file to resolve this problem when you have just a few radio buttons and another normal button that uses this code blue.  Once you have that working, you should be able to adapt more easily in your scenario.
