check out this website... http://scamoftheday.com/wordpress/category/from-a-foundation/page/2/
u may find the mail u received in the below list...
and always look at the email id, the mail is being sent from... If it is from a big company like MICROSOFT then it should have a guy's id eg: [protected]@microsoft.com . Look at the ids u receive mail from, its always msn, hotmail, or some xyz, unknown websites etc... Any Fraud can make an id and a content like this and send... Do not be fooled... If the mail content mentions a particular Company's name, then the company personnel's id should end with the company's website... But anyways, u must always be careful, coz there r few frauds who make false websites too... AGAIN, JUST AVOID THESE MESSAGES ...

Why would you need to pay a foreign tax and why are foreigners sending these messages when Microsoft is an American country anyway? Seriously, these idots don't think things out. I usually tend to reply back to them to make fun of their ignorance... It really gets some of them riled up. However, my father suggested I not do this because he once did and the FBI came knocking at his door accusing him of accepting terrorism money. I hate not being able to piss off the scammer , but I don't need the FBI trying to take me from my kids and lock me up for it.
Many things to look for in a fraudulent letter, is several typo's, spelling, grammar, and the use of English words. If a company is legitimate, the person writing the letter is supposed to have writing skills and be prevalent in the language they are writing. They won't say "hi friend" or "do you remember me?" or any unformal introduction. For those that are well written, you can still spot a fraud by the email address, a non working phone number, a fake address or any such information they give out. The company they supposedly work with probably isn't a registered company so you can look at that as well. If its a well known company like google or Microsoft, just look at the last part of the email address. It should be @microsoft, @google, etc. You can google the rest of the information easily by copying and pasting it into a new browser. If none of that information exists, don't even bother.
While there may be legitimate sweepstakes out there, its better to be safe than sorry. Its ok to look into the emails, just don't go giving out your information without first thoroughly investigating them.
Another thing to watch out for are phishing scam emails. Don't click on a link in an email you don't know. Either type the url out in the address bar of a blank page or double check in the status bar below you email page to be sure that the link really does go to where it says it does. Be wary of similar names with different addresses such as http:myspace.us.com, etc. And if that's a real website, sorry, pulled it out of my head... :D I wouldn't click that link if I were you, haven't a clue where it'd send you.
The main goal is to use your common sense and investigative abilities to stay safe.
