Beware! Its a Cyber World: Microsoft Sweepstakes Promotion 2011

Today I received the following mail and I'm sure thousands of internet users would have received that email winning notification; pretending to be exclusively for me.   
Unknown person notifying me for winning GBP. 550,000 cash award and Toshiba laptop from Microsoft Corporation and asking for my personal details, as usual in such cases, to be provided to Mr Patrick Parker further processing. Further processing will end up on the demand of processing fee.

i got the same e-mail but mine looked more professional. i questioned why the incoming e-mail wasn't from a microsoft e-mail. i ended up filling out the information and the told me to contact another legit company to claim my prize. they wanted shipping and handling. i told them they can put the money into my paypal account and gave them a donation link. the money went in. i couldn't believe it. i believe that these scammers are using real contests to hide their scams. if you are asked for money for shipping and handling use a paypal link instead. if they won't send it that way they are scammers.
