It's a scam to the utmost, i always get them, so i figure if you want to get my email and waste my time then, i will have some fun with them and waste their time, usually they will say that they are from a foreign country or i have won a huge lottery prize so i email them back and tell them i will need 98% of the prize money, or if they are from the lottery, i will tell them that i need over half the money up front in "Good Faith" then i will give them the info they need, after a few emails, they will stop but beware, if you play the games with them be prepared to deal with others to whom they will pass your email address to, i love playing with them, i have not gotten an email from any of them for 4 months now. If they mess with you, Mess with them. Peace

SCAM
They'll try to convince you to put money up front which will 'release the funds'.

Do not trust any "lottery" emails you receive. I suggest you brush up on Yahoo's privacy rules...

Nope, its not true, whatsoever
That is spam, and in some cases, they want you to reveal your personal information, I think those types of sites are fishing sites, fake sites built to steal personal information.
This isnt true, I got two of those before, and they're fake
