I like how a Microsoft Lottery uses a UK bank with a Yahoo email address. You'd think with all that money they have, they can get company email...

They should have used "Sony". Then it would be a lot more believable.

Actually the title of the email was "You have won yahoo lotto!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I have won a few lotto's in my day, but I knew this one had to be legit since it was a Microsoft and Yahoo joint initiative. ^.^;

Biggie.
