Answer 1

Most of the time they are scams, but the Yahoo headquarters is in England, and the amount is in "Pounds" it can go either way.

Answer 2

The Nigerians like to use the words "Fudiciary" Agent. Here's your first big clue to it being a scam. They spelled "FIDUCIARY" wrong. I am a retired Police Officer that for years has investigated Internet fraud and scams. The ones asked about on this site are the more simple minded ones. There are some very elaborate scams floating around. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away in lotteries. This scam has been around for a while. Lotteries work this way. You buy a ticket, you play. You don't buy a ticket you don't play. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of the billions of people in the world. Most likely source of them getting your information are on line survey companies. They sell it over and over.

Answer 3

Yahoo has no award middle. they don't supply away thousands of thousands of bucks to us. they choose your economic company account and private information. basically hit junk mail and under no circumstances open those products. there is not any money. each man or woman receives those daily in case you probably did not enter a competition or purchase a cost ticket then wager what you probably did not win.

Answer 4

That scam is old. I've been getting that same one for years.
