Yahoo/Msn Lottery Incorporation emailed me that I won GBP 500,000.. Is it true that yahoo has a lottery?

Question

Too many spammers are sending me that I won this and that... like Yahoo/Msn Lottery, UK Lotto, etc.. Can you give me an advice what to do? Is there any truth with this?

Answer 1

i think it's just a hoax. I got them too. I just delete them. Or mark it as spam.

Answer 2

Completely FALSE. Yahoo has never had a lottery. Do NOT open these kinds of emails. Just hit SPAM and delete it!

For information on scams like this, go to a site called SNOPES. You can do searches on the latest "computer legends" that people claim are true.

Answer 3

It's spam, plain and simple.

Junk it.

If you did'nt enter any contest, you did'nt win, period.

And why would a foreign lottery be contacting you?

They try to gloss it over using Yahoo's name.

Avoid it and avoid being a mark.

Answer 4

YAHOO/MSN or anyother internet outlets does not run a lottery...notice all the misspellings . it is a scam to get your finacial information so they can clean out your bank account.

just delete every one of them
