This is what I received my e-mail box. I thought it was too good to be true as well. I live in the United States and haven't entered any U.K. Contest with Microsoft. It's a lesson for people to never give out information in this day and age.

Best Regards,

Donna C.

I aslo rcvd this mail in my husband's inbox, I also thought that it's too good to be true.
I gave my husband's details but no id number only the name and surname, luckily I figured it was a scam before i gave the id numbers and banking details, I prayed about this and Im glad God gave some guidance and realised this is a scam before doing anything else...

Prayer is always important so God can guide you and make the right decisions
God is good and he protected me from doing something i would regret...

Please don't fall for this kind of mails!!!
