I guess you would have to have your brain scoopped out to fall for this one. As to how they get away with using the Microsoft name you have to catch them first and that won't be easy. For now just be grateful that they are so obvious and bad at trying to catch anyone with their scam.0

Just out of interest, I thought I'd Google "12 Georgia Palace"
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%2212+Georgia+Palace%2C%22&hl=en&num=10&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=images
Looks like it's been going on an awful long time. I only looked at the first page of results and there is one on there from 2007.0 -
These are perfectly safe emails and I have been given thousands of pounds in cash each week that keeps me and the current Lady Snowbits in champers and caviar.
I am sure my colleagues in Nigeria are waiting for your thoughts right now.
