I wonder why British Pounds and not US dollars, maybe this scam is focused on UK

 

[McLovin]

Great, now you can give 10% of it to Jack to help MalwareTips grow bigger

I want the least amount of money, only for an Xperia Go. If you have no problem to get me a more expensive one, get me the Xperia Arco S.

Wait, if it was from Microsoft, shouldn't the currency be in US Dollars?!

EDIT: Bill Gates won't give you a genuine Windows version if yours is not, how will he give me 1 million (!!) British Pounds? :lol:

Just remember to never buy a ticket for the Japan one. It would probably cost more for the ticket than you'd win at the maximum.
