I recieved an email with a worm congratulation from the ENTIRE STAFF OF THE YAHOO INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY that I won 250 000 $ and I can claim it from the central bank of Nigeria. IF THIS TRUE please inform me because I don't like any inconvienince especially from my YAHOO. PLEASE REPLY BACK before I proceed filling the bank form where confidential information are required. thanks

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL! Report it straight away to yahoo. If it's real they will tell you! Sounds like a Nigerian money scam, where they get you to send bank account details, after which they then proceed to clean you out!
This is a common thing, it happens all the time.
Also ask yourself, did i ever enter a lottery in the first place, and secondly i'm pretty sure that Yahoo dont do lottery draws!

No, it's a scam. Yahoo has not called a lottery at all. If it says bank of Nigeria be very doubtful that it is real. I wouldn't do it if I was you.
