"Internet Explorer" scam "sponsored by Bill Gates"

Dec 5, 2003 3:27AM PST

BEWARE ONE OF the latest scams popping into inboxes everywhere, which suggests you've won a prize in an Internet Explorer lottery.

You're told to keep the details of your win confidential due to a "mix up of some numbers and names", and just to make sure you contact the agent first to sort out the $185,450 ? in our case ? that we've won.
