One word. SPAM. I didn’t enter any contest. There are differing version of this email out there, but it is basically a scam to try to get as much info as possible from me, probably for identity theft. Don’t ever fall for these things. It’s basically the Nigeria scam with the word “Microsoft” in there to try to give it some legitimacy.
