I have entered into australian lotto, and have received an e- mail , telling me i have won $300 000.00. I have to send and complete a form to claim my winnings. I have to send this to the person and the bank and they wanted me to send a copy of my ID and banking details . The banks id adress is equitybank@yahoo.ca ? strange adress. Please advice.

That address is for Canada. A legitimate bank would have their own domain like bank@bankofamerica.com Sounds like a scam. Ask them for a phone number and report them to Yahoo!

This stinks a bit. Go to the bank that you've been using and seek an advice. They would know how to submit this kind of forms. Don't email back them until you ask.

This is most likely a SCAM as I do not think any bank will use a yahoo email address in important commercial notification...

Are you serious! Of course it's a scam. No one legit ever asks for your banking details

yes it's a scam.. because the original bank will only send email by their own domain... not with yahoo domain...

String them along and waste their time as much as possible. See - http://www.scambuster419.co.uk/ for some ideas.
