Yahoo! Lottery Results
Yahoo! Lottery is a free service that does not require you to register or be a Yahoo! registered user before winning.

Yes! You would be giving all your personal information to someone??.
Anything that sounds too good to be true - is. Never give personal info to anyone who requests it like this. This says it all. "This Lottery was promoted and sponsored by a conglomerate of some multinational companies as part of their social responsibility to the citizens in the communities where they have operational base." It tells you nothing but wants all your info. NEVER, NEVER give out info this way.

of course

ya my opinion it is a scam

Of course it's a scam. Just an attempt to get data from your for identity theft. Sheesh.

100% SCAM. Yahoo doesn't have lotteries. If they did, you can be sure there would be a LOT of advertising for it all over their web sites. Just delete that email, and any others like it that you are likely to get. Don't reply to it, and certainly don't click any links in it.

I agree with Maowbro on his post except for the fact of just deleting it u need to spam it and u also can change setting to block all people u spam (I did so u will not get them anymore)
I also think it is weird as a lot of them come in dated something like Mon. Jan 18,2038 (weird I will b 38 this year!) I think to keep it on top! I will add the answer from Maowbro so u can see what I agreed with! I hope one day they figure out how to stop that stuff! Peace! CorrinaCay
