click delete

1. no one from microsoft would be using a comcast email

2. Did you sign up to win anything (NO)

3. If you are asking yourself should I open it the answer is always (NO)

4. Lastly If it is really important leave it in your deleted files, and wait for him to send you a this is your last chance to claim your money email.

OR

1. Open it and get a virus

2. You really did win money and you are going to pay for all of our NW's intake maifolds

3. Have so much money you are the first to put a 6.1 hemi in the SRT6

Seriously just click delete

I get email from Microsoft all the time and I can tell you they definitely don't use Comcast for sending email. You could forward it to Microsoft for being a possible scam so they are aware of it.

You did the wise thing, you asked! Don't take any comments to heart. When people think they know it all, they quit asking and they get screwed. "there is wisdom in a myriad of counselors"
