I received a mail that Yahoo/Hotmail had awarded me with USD 85000 now to claim the prize money they have asked me for the Sworn Affidavit of Claim from UK High court. So one person Mr. Jones Has called me to [pay the Fees that is 450 Ponds. Should i pay that.
The No. From Where I'm getting the call is +2348032698050
I too want to know from which place this call is coming?
Thanks & Regards

Jeez! Ok, one more time. If you win a contest you haven't entered and they are asking for YOU to pay THEM money to claim your "PRIZE", then YOU are and IDIOT if you send the money. You can't win a contest you didn't enter, you can't inherit money from a long lost uncle who you never met and who lives 8 thousand miles away, and if you are dumb enough to send any money to total strangers in order to get money, then you deserve to be placed on the general sucker list, which is where you will go. Then every con artist in the world will target you, and rightfully so. SEND NO MONEY!!! WHEN MR. JONES CALLS BACK, TELL HIM TO TAKE THE 450 POUNDS OUT OF THE PRIZE MONEY AND SEND YOU THE DIFFERENCE. HE'LL HANg UP AND NEVER CALL YOU AGAIN.
Get it?
Got it?
Good!

No. These persons are criminals who are trying to rob you. Yahoo and Hotmail do not have any contests or prize money. They do not have any connection with any UK High court. (Why would the UK high court have anything to do with something like this? Does this even sound believable? _ Why if you won a prize would they require a person to pay a "fee" of 450 pounds? No matter where this telephone is located, it is a criminal attempt to get money. Don't even bother. If something sounds too good to be true---it is ! Call your local police if you have any questions at all. Or call Yahoo at their service number to check this out.

If you have not entered any sweepstakes and received an email saying you have won, it's fraud!!!! It's a scam and you should report it as spam!!!! Don't ever give your email or any other information unless you know it's origin as something you have entered!!!

That's a scam. Don't call it.
Btw, hotmail and yahoo are unaffiliated. That should tell you something...

The award is fraudulent and the number is more likely cannot be traced.
