Few days back I posted a mail here on 'Beware! Its a Cyber World' that I received purportedly from McDonald's. I posted that winning notification to share it with my readers; in which cyber criminals attacked internet users without a proper plan and pre-requsites to fool the innocent cyber users perfectly. Therefore, now they invaded again with a more detailed "Winning Notification" and a certificate attached that is from 'World Bank' certifying about correctness of the "2010 McDonald's Awards".
See the picture below that is attached with the mail I received:
Now let's have a look towards the mail content:
