Answer 2

It is scam. Yahoo (insert any company name here, this answer works for all!) do not run an email lottery, if they did you could guarantee it would be advertised all over their home page. Check out these links and search answers to see how many people 'win' the exact same lottery every day

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/lottery_sca...
http://www.hoax-slayer.com/email-lottery-scams.html

Do not click on any links, the page you will be taken to will look authentic but is not
Do not send them a 'courier fee' or any other money
Do not hand over any bank details or passwords

Do report spam
Do delete

Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. You cannot win a lottery if you haven ot bought a ticket. Anyone can set up an email account with Yahoo, they can use any combination of letters they choose. I could be '[e-mail]' or '[e-mail]' That doesn't mean that I am either of these and is fine as long as I don't try to use the address to mislead people. Don't be fooled by legitimate looking email addresses which end the same way as any other free account, don't be fooled by fictitious titles such as 'Dr' or 'Executive Director of Winner Claims'.

Answer 3

If it is actual then basically one guy or woman in the international is familiar with approximately that. That guy or woman is the guy working the fraud scheme. as quickly as that guy or woman tells another individual, then the possibility of having caught is going up. No Lottery desires to rig something because of the fact a Lottery recreation is a license to print money. right here interior the U.S. lotteries take 50% of the value ticket proceeds and rake them to run the lottery and pay for issues like preparation. Why cheat once you have a locked in 50% get right of entry to value? Now people who run the lottery can tell whilst a jackpot could be won. How? enable's say an excellent jackpot is up for grabs and 80% of the selection combos are wagered. So in concept, 8 out of 10 attracts will produce a jackpot winner(s). the better the jackpot, the better the insurance of numerical combos. extra human beings play whilst the jackpots upward thrust. If a numerical mixture is roofed by applying one participant basically, then that mixture is in play. you do not choose 5 or ten human beings to place a numerical mixture in play. finally if any lottery have been rigged the political and criminal fallout would be super. right here interior the U. S., attorneys would be submitting courtroom situations quicker than the value of sunshine if a recreation have been rigged.

If it's supposed to be from Yahoo I keep getting them too. It's almost certainly a scam, they are asking for all your details, age etc,. I emailed them and they said to fill in a form then phone them and give them my bank details to get my money. It went in the bin but they still keep emailing me and getting around my spam filters. Bin it.
