Apparently I have won a consolation prize in a Microsoft Draw. Despite them giving me an address in London, UK their claims agent very strangely has a yahoo email address based in Hong Kong. How odd. You'd think Microsoft would give the poor fellow a real Microsoft email address of his own. They would, of course, if he was real. But he isn't. It's a scam.
Mr G of Microsoft is a generous man, I know, and gives millions of dollars to genuine charitable causes through his own charitable foundation. I don't think he would count me as a charitable cause though. Delete the email and don't reply to it. You haven't won anything. Microsoft don't give away random prizes.
