  1. Dont believe the hipe.


  2. I got a email stating that I was a Yahoo Lottery winner.

  3. No it is a scam!!!!

    you have to give your  bank account # and password and they drain your account.

    or they say you have to pay a fee to recieve your "winning" ticket and then they send you a bogus check that will not clear.

    The best way to tell is did you enter a lotto? Yahoo does not hold lotto's

  4. It is scam 100%

  5. No

  6. Sorry friend but there is no Microsoft, Yahoo or other e-mail lottery, it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information

  7. This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them - (with links for your own country.) :

    Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.
