    No Joke
    Did you even need to ask if this was a scam?  Are you kidding?  There are about 100 giveaways that this is a hoax.  The spellings, the "lucky numbers," the bad grammar, the phony "batch" and "reference" numbers, etc... I mean, get real... if you didn't enter a lottery, you didn't win one.  Also, ask yourself, why would AOL and Microsoft team up for a giveaway?

    I got an e-mail stating that I'd won 1,500,000.00 GPfrom a Mocrosoft end of year giveaway !! It was from a David Nelson and wanted a lot about me. It didn't ask for any money up front,or have a time limit,but I never entered any thing in England.
    Just what kind of scam is this? I am 89 years old and boy would this much money be good to have !!
