  • i recieved a mail that states that i won the reward of 485000 GB pounds from Yahoo! MSN awards.... they sent me d id-no's..... is this a genuine E-mail or not?

  • Answer:

    That message is both a fake and an outright fraud. Don't give the phishers any of your personal information at all. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus." Another thing, the phishers telling you to "keep this lottery information confidential" would indicate to you not to say anything about this to anybody until they have finished scamming you.

not at all.. you get to hear about people who have been misled by these kinda emails off late. if you proceed, they would ask you to make an initial payment or deposit amount ... through cheque or DD. They would say that you would get your money as soon as you pay the deposit amount and stuffs like that a software engineer has lost loads of money because of this. I read it from a newspaper.. So kindly don't get mesmerized by such mails...

If they ask you to send money or ID - don't! That's how they scam you.

Why don't you write to yahoo customer service and clarify..? Most unlikely to be true but people are likely to be tempted to try.. At least be wary - clarify from MSN or yahoo or both.. you lose nothing writing to their customer service for info..!
