Did you enter a lottery? It sounds fishy from the start, but if you entered a lottery, it's one thing (still fishy though).. If not - disregard it immediately.. As always, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is..

As they say "You've got to be in it to win it". Are you?

Spam and scam; fake and fraud. This will convince you to spam and delete the fraudulent message right away. Never assume you won the lottery unless you've paid to play in it.

You guessed right. It's a scam! Thousands of these emails are sent to random people every day. It's a scam to steal your money, and possibly your ID. Do not send them any money, do not disclose any personal info or bank details, and do not reply to them. Ignore and mark as spam.

Of course someone's scamming you. You should delete that stuff without even opening it.

Don't believe it. It's a spam. They just want your details. Be careful.

absolutely not legit. Yahoo does not have lotteries.
