Yes Satish Kumar i have also received this mail. I think this mail is being sent to all the ISC members who have their email address mentioned in the profiles. But its my sincere advise to all the members not to be carried away with such cheap gimmicks to attract gullible members and public too.

hello,

Beware of this emails.

I have also received so many Emails in my Inbox and my scam folders as they are claiming so many great amount prizes by giving reason that on the internet survey you have been selected as the winner and has won the prize.

All you have to do is to give your information regarding the bank accounts and all that and earlier time a have send my details to them but all of them are fake and they has been using your personal information and make use of it for their own profit.

do not respond to this emails and consider such Emails as scam and avoid to send your personal information to them.

Hello Satish Sir,

Yes it is a big threat in the name of Microsoft Corporation which the spammers are trying to fool us around nowadays.

Previously too, I recieved around more than 500 emails which forecasted as I have been selected for a grand prize or an award as Chirag as already mentioned. It is just fooling around us and cheating many Indians to make money in this way.
Before I joined ISC, at that time too I recieved it, but it is really scary when an individual believes such emails and sends his money through Online Transactions.

This way many people get cheated. Well, its a very nice initiative brought up all together by Webmaster of MWC Team. I wish everybody has followed it up rightly.


Thanks and Regards,

Sashwato Chatterjee

Really SatishKumar,

Maximum of my friends and relatives get this type of mails. Some of them call on given International phone No and few of them mailed there own information. When I came to know I changed there whole Email account info with strong password. Be safe using your valuable email account, don't click on suspicious link or spread your personal details.

with best regards
