I've won the Lottery!

I received an email just now telling me that I'm £500,000 richer thanks to a joint Microsoft, Yahoo and Google Lottery scheme which picks random emails and enters them into the draw.

All I have to do is send personal details to some bloke called James David and I'll get the money sent to me...

Yes and I was born yesterday.

These people really should do their research a bit better before they try and scam journalists working in the IT sector. Microsoft, Yahoo! and Google teaming up for a Lottery scheme? Don't make me laugh!

I just wonder how many people without that sort of knowledge will fall for this and happily send all their personal details away thinking they are £500,000 better off.

These fraudsters make me sick.
