It's an email scam. Some call it the "419 Scam", or the "Nigerian Scam". Forward it to the abuse department at yahoo. Or just clik on SPAM.
Good Luck!

This is one of the must common scams on the books.
This office is in receipt of your transfer and it is based on the information which you provided in the form which you successfully returned through your claims agent.
You never saw the form they claim you returned did you? Of coarse not, it never existed.
AUSTRALIAN INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY INC
You didn't enter did you? There is no such lottery and if there were, they wouldn't use a Nigerian bank to inform the winners.
you are required to provide the bank with a payment of $ 850 fee
If you won $300,000, why can't they deduct the fee from your winnings?
FYI, I received a similar e-mail today claiming to need help transferring $30 million from Iraq.

Come on, get real. You should have been able to figure this out on your own.
When did you enter the "Australian International Lottery?" Do you enter so many lotteries that you wind up forgetting which ones you entered?
For that matter, how would they have gotten your email from a lottery entry?
Furthermore, why the hell would the "Australian International Lottery" use a bank in the corruption and scam capital of the world?
And when has a legitimate lottery demanded payments to give you YOUR money? Wouldn't you think they would just take it out of your winnings?

Haven't you heard about the Nigerian scam yet? They have been scamming money this way for years. You cannot win a lottery you never entered. They will clean out your bank account if you send them any info. Report it to scams@fraudinternational.com

I hope this is a joke. If it's not a joke, don't give them any info. They are pretty easy to mess with over there tough. Last year we sent some guy half way across Nigeria with a phony Western Union Telegram. It was great fun.

This is a Nigerian money scam. You send them the $850 and you never hear from them again.
