It’s an old scam which has resurfaced for the gullible.
You get an email that promises vast wealth from Microsoft in some award scheme you’ve never heard of:
“ Your address just won you $500,000 in the Microsoft Word awards.”
“ Your address just won you Five hundred thousand pounds sterling in the Microsoft Office awards.“
The currency, amount and software varies but you get the idea.
It’s all rubbish, of course. Microsoft isn’t going to give away ‘half a mil’ for no good reason. Delete the spam and get on with your life.
