I received a e-mail from Microsoft Post telling me that I
won Euros 1 million from a Microsoft Lottery based on a
drawing from all the e-mail addresses. A Mrs. Elizabeth
Hous, Lottery Coordinator, Microsoft NL signed the
letter. I am asked to contact their fiduciary agent by e-
mail at microsof...@netscape.net.
Just want to alert you all to this latest scam.

I suggest you expand the headers and send the whole thing
to netscape.net complaint dept, more than likely it's a
faked address

I suggest that you first learn how to read the SMTP trackers in those
expanded headers *before* you send the complaint to the wrong place.
Netscape almost certainly had no more to do with that message than
Microsoft.

Every computer user recieving email should know what "email headers"
are. Many don't. Here is a site that explains them. This is the vital
information necessary when reporting fraud mail, like what has happened
since the summer of 2003. Bookmark this for future reference.
