You can't actually ALL be this dumb can you? Of course it's not real. You can usually check out any internet rumors on truthorfiction.com if you're deceived by whimsical e-mails such as the one listed here.

i got this email too....from "Microsoft Corporations Awards" <awards@microsoft.com>
this is fraud- they will ask for a modality to send you the money, a way that you will have to pay an commision (big one), and offcourse, they'll never give you the money :))

Hello Regina. I would suspect that this actually is scam. It may probably be a phishing case. Better be careful and wait until Microsoft confirms that this is legitimate information (if they every confirm), before giving out any of your personal information. I think the contact email address (micro_corporations@msn.com) has been set up in MSN service for free (like hotmail, gmail, etc.) so it may be phony.
On the other hand I may be wrong. I'm just saying you should be cautious. Good luck!

Inappropriate?i'd received it too. What made me suspicous is the email reply links. Is it valid?, they are from microsoft.co.uk and under msn.com . You cant simply get a email under msn.com right?, its either hotmail.com or live.com .How is it a fraud?. -

If you work for msft, why didn't they mark you as an employee? I don't know if they ever set up the "if person's email = @microsoft.com, then auto upgrade to employee" feature. Whoever admins GSFN for MSFT has to do it, and then they have to post a text file to the website (to verify), so it may be difficult with your "rules". -
Because my email ends in hotmail.com, I suppose. =)
-
I should get a @hotmail.com address so I can be a microsoft employee, too :) - But seriously, contact one of the people listed as employees so you can get the tag.
-
Already done. =)

Awesome.

Inappropriate?For the people who's not too knowledge in english.."scam" means that you will get robbed, they going to steal money from you. Just think a little bit...did you ever enter to a lottery online? then..how in could you possibly think this is true!!!
Nothing is free...people gotta learn that. Hey Chile, no se q edad tengas pero no seas tan inocente o te van a joder y bien, no creas en estas cosas, quieres? -
Inappropriate?Hi, i've received this just like Dasa (d one posted this 10mths ago), the sweepstake money raise to 650,000,00 pound for yr 2009. Yimi and some others posted it a SCAM... Why, microsoft company did not do something to stop this?!!.. This scammers are frauting around with this prestigious company, cheating people using its Name..hey.. microsoft people you all dont feel anything?! ahhh. I thinks: Microsoft is either too busy or too rich to take action on these people... Scammers have no other better things to do.. go rob a banklahh... be a professional robbers!!.. can have 5 mins of fame on this planet...have the satisfaction for once!! Nothing in this world is free.. So Stop Dreaming.. If this is not a scam, winning this sweepstake does not be so difficulf, take example from the one who won euro sweepstake, some says he/she only send 2 euro to buy the tickets and he/she is now a millionaire can go fly to the moon for holiday...... So MICROSOFT people, please do your joblahhh, have pride in this prestigious Branded Company on this planet... do something to stop this scamming... Everybody loves money... loves it very much when it's offered sooo easily... i'm soooo Frustrated!! Why??!! B..cause IT'S a S C A M !!! bloody fool!!
