[Resolved]  Microsoft Automobile Online Mobile Promotion — Fake mails and sms regarding winning prize money

Address:Ludhiana, Punjab

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please help me in verifying mails and sms being send to me from Microsoft Automobile Company London telling me that I am one the lucky winners in their draw and have been receiving the sms and mails from them asking me to give my contact and address details for the delivery of the prize money cheque. The details of the mail are given below for your convenience in verifying. I have foolishly given my address and contact information to them and now feel that it was some fake person asking for the details which is now making me feel worried about its misuse.

I will be very thankful to you for your time in helping me in finding out whether this is just another scam or fraud to fool people.


Regards
