    Congratulations!!!

    My questions are;

    1), Is there a genuine MICROSOFT AWARD TEAM? 

    2), If so, would they send an email like the one above?

    3), How does one tell the fake from the genuine?

    Please delete the bogus email message!  It is indeed fake!  Please review: Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently
