As I have shared many juicy emails with my readers; in which I won millions of dollars, Euro and pound sterling, but never received a single penny in my account or hand. Cybercriminals just knocked my door to tell me that I, the luckiest person in the world, have again won GBP 5,500,000.00 POUNDS in cash which is approximately $10.4 MILLION US DOLLARS.
This time these cyber cowboys used the name of "Microsoft Lottery International". One thing is just beyond my understanding, as I'm not a internet or computer specialist, how these bad peoples manage to use the domain name of "microsoft.com" for sending such malicious mails. If anyone of my reader can clarify this point; it will be great help for all internet users with which they can save themselves from such cyber victimization.
Let's go through the mail contents; I received yesterday only.
