I had one of these a while ago. The forwarding address to claim was of course microsofts European HQ but the post code pointed to a certain terraced council house on Hyde Rd just up from the Apollo theatre.

Now i know this area is a centre for Global educational excellence as many international Universities also have their HQs in this area,but i didnt know Microsoft also had an office there.

My deduction was that either the spammer lived at the address or the person had access to the mail and could filter out mail sent to this address before it hit the letterbox.

I was seriously tempted to knock and claim my prize.
