They don’t actually call it a lottery in this one, but it’s written like the Yahoo & MSN scam e-mails which have been reported often here. Instead of MSN they name Windows Live as the cooperation partner. Looks as though they are modernizing.

The Longsight district of Manchester is mostly a urban area and if you look at the Stockport Road on Google Maps you will see there are hardly any office or commercial buildings of any kind.

his personal account in Nigeria. He even tells me not to pay more than
320 USD he has quoted. I wonder how he gets around that?

The main thing with these fraudulent e-mails is the fact that you need
a well known lottery company or an business giant such as Microsoft
or, as in this case, Shell Petroleum.

The money has to come from somewhere, doesn’t it?

The proposed takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft is not yet a reality, but this does not prevent the African crooks from using the company names for a bogus lottery.

The Yahoo/Microsoft combination has been used quite often in the past as our archives show.
