Question

I got a mail from yahoo lotto advsing me that i have won a huge sum .How can i confirm that it fake or real?

Answer 1

1) It's supposedly from yahoo, which doesn't run a lottery

2) It supposedly means you won a huge sum without ever having to enter anything

This should confirm to any thinking person that it's fake.

Answer 2

Open the curtains and count the pigs flying past the window. If there are more than zero, then it's possibly true. (Unless you live next to an abattoir or pig trampoline center, in case it's probably still false).

Answer 3

It's a scam. Along with about a dozen others I get every week. Type "yahoo lottery scam" into a search engine and read what they have to say about it.

Answer 4

delete it now

Answer 5

do not bother, as i get a few of these posted a week , there all fake and want some kind of deposit or account details just to rip you off.

youve been warned...!!

Answer 6

Did you enter any lottery with them? My guess is it's a fake, a spam email. If they are asking for money or your bank account details, give it a wide berth!!

Answer 7

You cant, I get them all the time also from yahoo. All those things are scams, don't believe any of it, no matter how real and  good it may sound.

Answer 8

Fake: Yahoo doesn't have a lottery.

Answer 9

get a life you get ought for nought
