Your's Faithfully
SIDHIN.K.S

Dear receivers of 'Microsoft/Msn Lottery' or any other types lottery like that, I would like to say that these types of lottery receivers will be entrapped if they send any sort of fees or charges for it, Because Wikipedia informed me that it is fake in nature----

They informed me that:

There are several ways to recognize a fake lottery email:



Unless someone has bought a ticket, they cannot have won a prize. There are no such things as "email" draws or any other lottery where "no tickets were sold". This is simply another invention by the scammer to make the victim believe that they have won.
The scammer will ask the victim to pay a fee before they can receive their prize. It is illegal for a real lottery to charge any sort of fee. It does not matter what they say this fee is for (courier charges, bank charges, various imaginary certificates — these are all made up by the scammer to get money out of their victim). All real lotteries subtract any fee and tax from the prize.
Scam lottery emails will nearly always come from free email accounts such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Live, MSN, Gmail etc.

This is 100% fake. Please do not make any payments. This is surely fraud
