Not much has been happening recently except that I have won the lottery!

No, wait - I haven't really. It's a scam.

Some things to consider which really highlight the scam:

1. Microsoft & Yahoo working together - not likely.
2. Microsoft Windows is not a company.
3. If this is a UK-based lottery that I have won, why do I need to tell them which country I live in?
4. Why do they need to know my marital status, job & company I work for?
5. MSN Lottery Prize? The name of this thing keeps changing the further down the email I read.
6. And finally, the email address: why is a Microsoft/Yahoo lottery claim not sent to a Microsoft or Yahoo email address?>

This smacks of Identity Theft to me...
