I received a text telling me that I have won 750,000 GBP in the "Mozilla Foundation Lottery". I sent and email to mozillasms@live.com asking what this was about. I received and email back with an attachment of a Certificate with "Mozilla Foundation Lottery" at the top with your logo. Can you verify it's authenticity.

Most certainly not authentic. I do hope you have not replied with information.

No, that is a hoax. Mozilla doesn't do that.

Knew it was a scam but thought mozilla would be interested to know their name was being used.
