I recieved a email stating that I had won a lump sum of money and a laptop through Micorsoft and all I had to do was contact the courier company and give them my personal information to have my laptop and check delivered to me. Of course I did not believe this was real and it turns out I was right. The first thing I did was google the name of the courier company.international Bonded Courier. A ripoff report from this website popped up in the search and it turns out I am not the only one they have tried to scam. This is the email I recieved. I hope others trust their intuition like I did.
