Answer 4

IT IS A fake,

they want you to phone them, and you pay loads for the phone call, and you get nothing unless you pay them up-front for postage and the like

it is a scam.

Answer 5

i have received this too, and also i received all the 100 winner's name from [e-mail]

and i have to donate 5% from the winning before i receive the prize

i am really confused because how come when i receive a SMS to my mobile the sender is Yahoo! Mail??

Answer 6

Did you purchase a ticket or participated in a lottery? no? Yahoo is a internet portal and not a lottery agent .clear?

so, it is a SCAM , brought to you by the friendly people who are after your money without having to work for it.

If you still believe you have won?? contact me please as i have the most wonderfull Eiffeltower in paris for sale as a prospective investment opportunity as a tourist attraction.

Answer 7

stayed the same

Answer 8

I also received same messages in my mail box and on mobile, I try to get Yahoo opinion but still no response from them. I think yahoo must issue an official statement regarding this issue, because this spam is using Yahoo name.

Answer 9

Ignore it, it's a scam. Delete it from your mobile.
