Microsoft Online Draw Scam - - Winning Notification of £ 1,000,000 (One Million Great Britain Pounds) From Sweepstakes Organized by Microsoft and AOL

Here I come with another story of latest trap by internet fraudsters. This time they again used big names in the world like Microsoft and AOL. These big names are being used by cybercriminals to convince internet users more easily and to make them believe whatever they mentioned in their respective mails.

I received this mail from "info@microsoft.org" and when I tried to search on Google search bar this "microsoft.org", I never find any domain name matching with it. Therefore no need to explain more about this scam. Let's go through the mail I received today morning and presented below for your review:
