[pchelpers] Fw: You've won a Microsoft X-Box (This is not spam)

Did I really win an X-BOX or is this a scam?  The only cost to me is the $10 
for shipping.  If it is a REAL Microsoft X-BOX the $10 is no problem....  They 
want my name & home address, for shipping of course, but they promise not to 
sell my address.... I have @ 12 hours left to claim my prize.  Did anyone else 
get this? (thereby making it mass-mailing = spam)  The only RED FLAG I saw was: 
they want a Debit card number, NOT a Credit card number for the $10 shipping. 
Save me from my greed.....errr, I mean, from my couriosity.

Thanks, J. Setcer

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
