UK Microsoft Jackpot Lottery winner

I’m going to retire. I never thought this day would come, but I won a lottery! I know that soon all of my family and friends and friends of friends will start talking to me again and acknowledge that I’m alive (I miss you mommy!) because of my new found wealth. Though I haven’t found out how to collect yet.

I received an email last night telling me that I won some lottery I never entered. Worse is that I never heard of it. One more worse than that, the email did not come from a “Microsoft.com” address but a “Hotmail.com” address.

Once I took off my retard helmet and put on my propeller beanie hat and geeked out, I checked out the Internet Headers (posted below) I noticed that the retards that spammed used Squirrel Mail from a domain hosting company (http://www.dwhs.net/) which either means the spammer uses their system as a customer or hacked into their system. The domain “rapnewsonline.net” which was used as the Squirrel Mail authenticated username is currently not registered, so if you are interested just head over to GoDaddy (<–shameless referral) and pick it up!

When you decide that you want to investigate your own spam, there are a few easy steps to check out who is filling up your chest-squishy download time with annoying emails, you can view the Internet Headers of the email and find the IP address of the sender and potentially more useful information like the originating domain.

Check out the domain of the sender here: http://www.whois.sc/fakey-fake-domain.com (you might want to replace the fake domain with the one in the headers).

Search for IP address information here: http://www.arin.net/ (in the upper right you put the IP address and click the “Seach WHOIS” button).

If you want to pay some money, you can investigate a lot about the domain listed, if there is one, but signing up for some service that keeps track of lots of information and can give you a geeksfull of it: http://www.dnsstuff.com/

One favor I ask is that if you are able to attain the lottery winnings, float me a couple bucks (I’m a bit short until payday, after that point I will still be short but I’ll have money).
