And as it happens, that relative is from Nigeria?
Joke apart, just in case it's your first phishing exposure: dump asap!

-So here's the story:

I check my mail, and find a piece of mail that said that Microsoft had a drawing that I won.

Then I find another email from TNT Courier Service asking me to give some required information so they can deliver the prize to America.

I will not disclose what the prize is.

ANYONE GOT ANY EMAILS SIMILAR TO THIS LATELY

Yes, I get them all the time. They are usually from UK ,Africa and they have tracking #'s and usually some spelling is off .ITS ALL A SCAM

I'm assuming you haven't entered any kind of sweepstakes, they're contacting you out of the blue. SCAM. At very LEAST, phishing for valid email addresses. By responding, you provide at a minimum that information, opening the door for a flood of more spam, scam and junk email. Your email address will be added to the latest DVD-Rom, or just sold as a downloadable ZIP file. Those are the best possible outcomes.

BTW3 - TNT couriers were the ones to put 30 smarts in a 747.

You have WHAT proof that they are who they claim to be?

What did Mom say?

If it's to good to be true, it's a scam...
Something like that.
But hey, you can be the dude in the 1% of every 100,000 that take the bait.
You are the one who makes it worthwhile.

Ok, so I did some deep research on the net.

My results:

SCAM!!!!!

Many other people got these emails too, they gave the info and got no money, and the weirdest part is.

"MICROSOFT" NEVER USED THE SAME UK ADDRESS!!! OR CLAIMS AGENT!!!

AS for TNT, they're in, what a bad joke

I EXPECT THAT MANY HERE WILL ALSO GET THE SAME "CONFIRMATION" - DELETE IT AND COMPLAIN TO MICROSOFT!!!!


The other side:

My family has gotten MANY of these on the net before.
Only one was true to its word and gave up the cash.


Problem self solved once again!!!
