Answer 1

Fake !

Answer 2

NO! A lot of people are scamming gullible people online. It's hard enough to win legit lotteries you entered! C'mon don't fall for this, get your b.s. detector on! My friend handed her bank info and other private details and had to have the bank close and change everything. I never fall for these yet someone got my SS# off my college papers when I put in trash. Later we found bums going through it and cell phone counts keep being opened in my name with Cingular One!!!! Now its called something else I think. What a pain to go to PD and file report to give to collection agency.

My point is people are getting hard on money and are taking advantage of people. If it sounds too good to be true 99.999999 it is. In this case, that is common scam, so many people are getting that letter or variaition of it!

Answer 3

Hi

there are a lot of email scams. if you're ever in doubt, go to google and google

(a) the subject line

or

(b) a couple of distinguishing elements from the email

in the case above

[grace adams yahoo! lottery email]

yielded all you would need to know to determine that this is a scam.

You might also like to do some reading on 'phishing' while you're there. its useful to understand how this stuff works so that you can protect yourself.

Answer 4

Please don't post this crap. If you are not wise enough to know that this is a fraud then you deserve to get taken for the ride.

Also, if you are not wise enough to contact Yahoo abuse department instead of posting online to a bunch of people who have nothing to do with Yahoo... again see above.

Good Luck
