Sweepstakes scam Email

I received the following email and I can usually catch it a scam, but this one had me a bit confused. I recently graduated lase school and know what is legal and what is and is not allowed to publish. How's this for Microsoft to continue to allow them to use their logos and print things about their business when it is not in the form of notice and is not in the "best interests" of Microsoft's customers?

Can someone please answer this for me, because as far as I know, this is defamation and misrepresentation of the facts, among other things.

Thank you for your consideration. I hope this can end, because it's boring. I hope that nobody falls for this!

Hi Melissa,

Please contact Microsoft Community.

Cybercriminals often use the names of well-known companies, such as ours, in their scams. They think it will convince you to give them money or your personal information. While they usually use email to deceive you, they sometimes use the phone instead.

How to recognize if the email I received is genuine or spam/phishing?

  • Scam email? Right?

    I got an email from PayPal saying I paid for a subscription of 39 dollar to Skype, but I don't even have a Paypal account, it is a scam, right?

    Tayshaun Hey,

    I have checked our records and you are right. There is no recent orders in your Skype account. If you receive an email that you suspect fraudulent, please DO NOT open the attachments to the email, the response to the email, or click on the links in the email.

    I suggest you contact PayPal for more information on the e-mail you received.

    Regarding e-mails from Skype, they never address anonymously. They will always contain your name or Skype name. The information they contain are either on skype.com site, or on your account page.

  • Another scam Email [was: Bernard]

    I received two emails claiming to be from Microsoft Support Center tells me someone in Tokyo tried to access my account.  After the first I called my computer support person, he said it's probably a scam, delete.  Today, I got the same message with the same information.  How can I know if is is legitimate or not?

    Think of your tech support person.  Microsoft does not contact individuals by e-mail or telephone to tell them that their computer has been attacked, his account has been compromised, or something similar.

    If you are unsure of the foregoing... what email told you to?  Call a number without fees or go to a poll official website?

    If it's a phone number, enter the number in a Google search and see what the results are.

    Links in emails are trickier because they can be disguised.  Just because a link says www.microsoft.com, click top can take you somewhere else entirely.  Try clicking on the link in the previous sentence (it's safe).  You can see the actual code behind any email, but the techniques to vary depending on what mail program you use.
