More bogus emails are floating around again. IF you have been selected to win a prize, foreign lottery, rebates, etc, unless you specifically signed up online for that very thing, its a scam. This one is a new twist:

The email address has been spoofed to read as coming from Microsoft. I don't think this roofing company has thought out the kind of reputation they are going to get by tricking people to visit their site. In their defense, I'm sure they were sold this "service", since I doubt the employees had the skill to spoof the address.
Update:

This one just came in. Another scammer tactic, the url looks legit, but they use third level domains to make it seem like its from Citibank. Of course, I don't bank there, but they are the third largest bank in the US so the scammers are playing the odds. I've forwarded a copy to their anti-phising dept. NEVER CLICK THE LINKS and ALWAYS DELETE these!-Charles
