Reply:It's a scam, just mark it as spam and get rid of it, I've gotten the same in my inbox too, that's where I sent it, don't believe what they say, they never heard of you before you got your account, so why now are you suddenly super rich? Yahoo does not partake in stuff like that, so beware, okay? Some of those scam's could land you in some serious legal hot water if you do as they ask, especially if they want you to put a check in your bank and or send 'processing fees' before you get your prize. Don't do it!!

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace.

Reply:No, it's not true. There is no lottery. There is especially no Yahoo/ MSN/Microsoft/AOL or any other combination of letters giving away free money. This is spam. That's all.
Reply:Delete it. Don't even open it. I get loads of these junk mails everyday. Just like those pushed through your letter box. They are nuisance.
