Answer 3

There is no such thing as a Yahoo! Lottery. The same goes for MSN, Google, Toyota, et cetera. You can double-check this fact for yourself by going to a fresh browser window and entering the company's URL. The company's real Web site does not mention anything about having a lottery. You might, at the most, find a fraud warning. But you won't find information about the Yahoo! Lottery because it does not exist.

The lottery scam is designed to separate you from your money. The scammer found your address somewhere on the Internet and included it in the mass e-mail that he sent out to many other potential victims.

Anybody who replies will be asked, at some point in the scam, to wire money for "fees." You won't see the lottery prize, but you *will* get requests for more money. This continues until you are either broke or have realized that you're being scammed. Either way, there is no prize.

Just delete the e-mail and forget all about the whole thing. Some people like to report the e-mail addresses to have the boxes closed, but this can interfere with a law-enforcement investigation.

Answer 4

There are no winners.  This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them :

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. Just 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.
