Yep - for over a year now. This has been posted thousands of times here. It's a complete scam and never should have been opened in the first place.

its a scam dont give them any information

That one has been around for years. 100% SCAM. Yahoo doesn't have lotteries or cash giveaways of ANY kind. 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.

They are all frauds.
