Microsoft Sweepstakes Scam: Miss.Rose DE-Lauren, Dr.BRIGHT TAHIRA

Have you received an email from 'Miss.Rose DE-Lauren' at 'MICROSOFT AWARD TEAM MICROSOFT (and AOL)' telling you that 'your email address won in the second category' or something similar, and to contact 'Dr.BRIGHT TAHIRA' to collect your winnings? It is a scam.

In fact, what inspired us to write about the Microsoft email beta test again is that a very close friend of ours (who has been in the high tech industry for 20 years!) sent us an email asking if the Microsoft email beta test was true.
Beware of the Bogus XBOX Series X Giveaway. In a different variation of the scam, the subject is an XBOX Series X give-away. Criminals set up Facebook pages claiming to be from Microsoft. “Microsoft needs testers for the upcoming Xbox Series X, which will be release during holidays 2020.
Microsoft and AOL are now the largest Internet company and in an effort make sure that Internet explorer remains the most widely used program, Microsoft and AOLare running an e-mail beta test. When you forward this e-mail to friends, Microsoft can and will track it (if you are a Microsoft Windows user) for a two week time period.

Did you know that Microsoft has a sweepstakes in which they randomly give away money to people whose email addresses Microsoft magically 'collected'? This is news to Microsoft, too. It is a scam.

Microsoft has never had any sweepstakes (and we're pretty sure they never will). Bill Gates has made that pretty clear. Their motto is most definitely NOT 'Fighting Poverty Around the World'.

Microsoft has never had any sweepstakes (and we're pretty sure they never will). Bill Gates has made that pretty clear.

And, while we're on the subject, Microsoft is not, does not, and will not ever send you to DisneyWorld. They don't 'test the internet', nor sponsor email lotteries to 'promote use of the internet', 'to promote the use of email', to reward users, nor 'to promote the use of computers worldwide'. Nor do they have lotteries to 'promote MS Word' or 'the launch of Vista', Hotmail, or other products. No lottery selects winners 'using a database of email addresses', or 'from websites worldwide', or from 'our computer ballot system'.

The scammers may change the names and details, but it is still a scam! Don't be completely gullible!

Below is the example of the fake email scam (the email is the scam, not any persons or companies named in the email) claiming to be from the 'MICROSOFT AWARD TEAM MICROSOFT (and AOL)'.

Although the most important clue is that there is NO Microsoft sweepstakes, lottery or any other giveaway, there are many other signs that this is a fraud. We have highlighted some of these in the email below, not the least of which are:

Email address ballot: There is no such thing as a 'computer ballot system' or 'computer email draw'. No one, not even Microsoft has a database of email addresses of the type or magnitude they suggest.
Terrible spelling, punctuation, syntax and grammar - Scammers apparently don't know how to use spell checkers. We assume they dropped out of school before that class. They use almost excessive and random CapItaLiZAtion. They often can't even spell 'February' or know that '22th' ought to be '22nd'. These scammers usually write at the 3rd grade level. Being non-native English speakers, they also often get first names and surnames (last names reversed), so you will frequently see names like 'Mr. SMITH JAMES.', instead of 'Mr. James Smith', along with the peculiar usage of periods (full stops) and spaces or the lack thereof. Real lotteries also proofread their emails and look and read more professional.
Using free email account: The scammer is writing to you from a FREE email account (Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, AIM, Gmail, etc.). Don't you think a Microsoft would write to your from and have you reply to an address '@Microsoft.com'?
Keep Confidential - Real sweepstakes and lotteries THRIVE on publicity - they don't want you to keep anything secret - the publicity causes people to enter or buy more of their products. The scammer want you to keep quiet because they don't want the police or ConsumerFraudreporting to hear about them! It should read: 'For our own security, you are advised to keep your winning information confidential until we have finished scamming you!'

Require the winner to pay - U.S. federal law prohibits sweepstakes from charging you for anything, not 'delivery', couriers, taxes, fees, handling charges, or anything else!
