Hello

This is a phishing scam!

You have not earned the "Microsoft Lottery".

The Microsoft Lottery scam is a hoax which usually starts with an e-mail message that claims that the recipient has won "The Microsoft Lottery."

There is No Microsoft Lottery.

These messages are designed to engage you in a dialogue with cyber criminals who want to persuade you to send them money.

Do not respond.

  • E-mail hoax?

    I received an email from [email protected] saying that it was a confirmation of subscription to Netflix 1s for 1 month Plan period costing £35.99, which is paid through my iTunes account. I did this and if I try to cancel the subscription it asks me to sign my Apple ID and password (that I did not because I do not trust). Email all seems legit (logo, iTunes, etc) but I haven't signed up for anything so I guess it's a hoax. Can anyone help?

    Thank you

    It's a phishing e-mail email trying to get your account details and payment - if you always give to Apple: [email protected] and then delete him.

  • CAVEAT! Hoax page Web and messages "found iPhone."

    I tried to find a way to notify Apple, but they seem to do their "support" pages a maze of options. In this regard, let me warn customers about a text message hoax I just receive notifying me that my 'lost' iPhone was recovered in London. The link invites you to follow a very well-disguised iCloud page, which is a FAKE and phising tool.

  • 'Apple ID is locked' authentic email or hoax?

    I received an email claiming to be from Apple asking me to click on a link to verify my email address. After seeing the messages in discussion referring to the previous hoaxes I'm now paranoid about this type of email, true however it may appear ([email protected] address, etc.). Please notify. Copy of the email below:

    Dear customer,

    We just need to verify that this address belongs to you.

    Just click on the link below and sign in with your Apple ID and password.

    Check now > > >

    Ask yourself why you got this email?

    It is sent when someone adds or modifies a contact for an Apple ID account email address

    If you don't do this, don't worry. Your email address cannot be used as a contact address for a

    Apple ID without your control.

    It's a scam. If you want to check your ID Apple go directly to http://appleid.apple.com . If your ID has been blocked for security reasons that you would not get an email on this subject, you would like to know when you tried to connect and will then need to contact Support. There are different variations of this type of email (and scams "you have a virus"): never to clock on a link or a telephone number in email or pop-ups in this type of follow-up. And although Apple have apple.co.uk they always send emails of apple.com - it's very easy to simulate the address 'From' on an email.

  • How hoax calls centres to access my phone from my computer number, even though I have security on my system?

    I had problems with my computer and found that my system was attacked.  However my Norton security blocked.  I logged the Microsoft Support page to perform various diagnostic tools to see if there was a problem with my software.  The next minute, I received a phone call from a hoax call center claiming they were Microsoft, which I knew was not the case.  What is interesting is that the appellant pretends to be a... automated phone call which it wasn't when I talked back.  Especially when I asked "are you an automated service?  I then realized actually, I was talking to a person.  In the background, I could hear other people who speak with a tone of voice "computing."  Crook change their methods of attack to access personal data?  Everyone should be aware of the tact, that these people are adopting?

    Hi Caspwilson,

    Yes, there is a scam going around, never give your computer access to anyone... Never open a Web page, they may ask you to open. You can indicate that you do not use microsoft windows and hang up.
