Its about as true as a dead phish in the water. You didn`t win anything. Quit reading SPAM messages. Note: Dont give out any personel info or give money. Thats a no no.
DELETE IT !!!! It’s a scam!!!
.
No, its a scam to take all your money out of your bank account.
Please delete and do not open any emails where you don’t recognise the sender as they can contain viruses.
its a scam.
Even if it is really from Yahoo, it is still a scam. Yahoo have been ripping people off for years.
no, it’s a scam!
It’s a fake, I get about five different types of these a week……supposedly from yahoo, from coca-cola, from some lawyer who’s client has supposedly died without a next of kin leaving all this money laying around just waiting for me to claim, from some lawyer whose client has supposedly died and whose last name I happen to share and who of course has no next of kin. They’re all fake, and are just trying to get your information. Repost them as spam.
I can`t believe there are still people who fall for this kind of scams… When did you ever hear of a Y! lottery? Furthermore, how can you win a prize from a lottery you haven`t taken part in???
u r lucky if thats the first mail to you… we get dozens perweek…
ignore n relax… u have still not lost nething…
So far I would be a billionaire
I received the same message several times (although some minor differences occurs).
However, forget them. They ask You to pay them and when You do the winnings will never be sent to You. Not to mention that You are sending sensitive information (phishing and identity theft!)
We enjoy the publish produced by you and would look for similar articles by you might certainly allow us in one or the other methods. Thanq
