It is spam and i wish someone could put a stop to it because so many people are getting excited over nothing and that is sad!Have a nice day!!!

Answer 3

have you done anything to win this money..

more than likely it is a scam ..have you emailed yahoo customer service..not reply on email but use a yahoo link..don't give any personal/banking info to these people until you have received info back from linked yahoo inquiry..

Answer 4

You didn't win; it's a scam.

If you didn't enter a lottery you can't win; and YAHOO isn't giving anything away. It's an attempt to steal your personal information and possibly your bank account.

Dump it.

Answer 5

You have been scammed.

Forward the email that you recv'd to [e-mail]

The REAL Yahoo! people will take care of it.

Answer 6

These scams are very common, usually originating from Africa. The email sent was spoofed and if you wanted to claim the prize there would be lots of addition payment for clearing you would have to send.
