Just mail me $50 and I will tell you it is a scam. I mean seriously are you like an 80 year old grandma who has had a computer for 1 day. It is AMAZING how many times people are told about scams and then still think.....oh maybe I won a lottery. If you tell people they can get something for nothing common sense and any hint of intelligence is thrown out the window. Now some good advice, go to FTC.gov and look for info on scams.

Yeah, this guy Jake made several racist and insulting remarks to a question the other day; he's clearly got real problems. You should definitely report this to the organisers; people have every right to use this site without then receiving offensive emails, especially if there's racist content! Only someone with very low intelligence would behave like this; judging by other remarks of his that I've seen, he's clearly a total moron.

No its a scam and if that is your email address you posted here its no wonder you get that kind of stuff .. you should never put your email address in a question .. that's just inviting problems .. if you think you get lots of junk mail now just wait till a few people see this question and you become part of a mailing list and have your email address sold to on line mailing lists..
If it's too good to be true . then it isn't true .. no one gives anything away .. If you get ma ill from someone you don't know delete it or mark it as spam

Number one, did your enter that ? NO, so it is a scam, get over it. Nothing is for free and if it seems to be too real to be true, than it is and it is always will be a scam. Nothing in life comes for free, unless you hit your state's lotto, that you really bought a ticket. Think about it. Greed gets alot of people in trouble.

It is a classic SCAM! Most of these come out of Nigeria. Yahoo does not participate in such schemes.

It's a scam, they are going to want you to send them money first. Anything like this is a scam....sorry for the bad news.
