    Hi,

    Guys...I would like to know if anyone of you also got a mail from someone telling Microsoft is conducting survey and paying money in your Local Bank account if you forward that email to your friends.

    That email was sent to me by someone but before reaching to me, it had been to hundreds of people. They were committing they got paid $xx, $xxx. Is it true? Any of you guys received the same mail and got paid?

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    It's just a scam.
    Don't wasted your time forwarding it.
    Bill Gate never pays.

    I think this is a scam where someone tries to gather email addresses to be used in a dubious way.

    This emails are scams. Hit the delete button.

    Even Bill Gates receives such messages everyday and he is tracking such people down.

    It is a scam as said by everyone else... i mean Bill Gates has a FORTUNE, why would he conduct an email survey, when it's easier for him to outsource any task for research to another company. Plus all those who care about Microsoft would provide suggestions anyway without an incentive

    Hello Softech,

    I have been receiving these kind of mails since 3-4 years and even my friends also get these mails. Its purely a scam, ofcourse not me but most of my friend have done many times and tried to get money out of it. But truth is that no body is the incharge, manager or anything where you can ask for your money. You dont get any email, so it cant be possible that your bank account gets funded from air and the important thing is for just forwarding the mail to friends. Never! Its just a big time SCAM. Be aware of it and never respond it because its your wastage of time.

    Hope this helps

    Kind Regards,
    Sheikh Ahsan

    Softech this is not a scam. You need to take up on the limited time opportunity. Microsoft wants your opinion, and that's why they are forwarding/reaching you by asking other people to forward that email to you.

    Be sure to send all your money as well as your bank account information Social Insurance Number, a copy of your birth certificate. And remember it will be faster if you just reply to all, so that more people can get information so that your account is processed faster.
