Consumers call us often asking about letters and emails they've gotten. Jim A. of Jackson has forwarded us a copy of an email that promises 100 million Euros (About $78 million) for an "Microsoft Outlook Award" lottery, then goes on to ask for personal information. All of this is to be sent to an address in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Of course, Jim never entered any lottery.
If you get this email, the best thing to do is to delete it immediately. This is a relatively new scam to hit our area, and we don't know if the intent is phishing or just an attempt to sucker a few unwitting victims out of their hard-earned money. Regardless, you don't have to be a victim.
