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. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

If you trust this and send your info that you are a sucker. I too received this email...I'm sure we would have heard about it form Yahoo had it been real. Besides, there are too many typos for me to trust it! LOL

Play it safe and delete it .It 's just a scam. There are so many of them going around, but beware, they are only trying to get your important information. It's called identity theft.

No way. That's a total scam.

Duuuh! Yahoo does not have a lottery. Yahoo does not give away money. Yahoo does not collect the names of...blah, blah, blah. You opened spam, so now they will send you MORE spam. This belongs in spam, which is the trash bin.
