[Resolved]  Microsoft Award Team — Fake lottery Scam

I got a mail telling that they are from microsoft and told that i won price money of 1 million Great Britain Pounds. I first thought its a scam and they were able to convince me that they are from microsoft team in UK. I gave them my personal details as they asked for it and I asked them to send a copy of the winning certificate and they send me that. I searched in microsoft about it and came to know that they dont encourage lottery and they dont do so. I am posting this so that i wanted to be safe if they use my personal details. and also I wanted to warn others that there are lots of lottery scams like this. I searched about this and found many people getting betrayed like this and people from these scam team asking for money telling that its for courier charge or some other charge.
