aerius Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzziguy Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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.

NotoriousBIG_PJ Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 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... 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.
