.... it is complete b*******ks!!

Get a brain, please.  For one thing, major national banks don't use free yahoo email addresses or mobile phone numbers.  I could list other reasons this is completely fake, but honestly, what would be the point.  No-one ever seems to listen and everyone thinks they have won.  If you don't know the person who is writing to you or why, then just ignore them, as in all likelyhood they are Nigerians who are after emptying your bank account!
