  • Answer:

    This is a SCAM. The below links confirm various email scams hitting the internet, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them - (with links for your own country.) : http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo2.php http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/or... 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. Please 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.

go ahead and claim but don't come back on here crying when you give your bank and credit card details and get cleaned out if you didn't enter then how can you win

I'm sure this will be a shock to you, but Microsoft and Yahoo do not now, nor have they ever sponsored any type of lottery. This is a scam and a phishing expedition to get your personal information for illegal purposes. Your first clue should have been the misspelling of the word Incorporated. If you were actually old enough to understand what this is, it would be a bit better. Show this to your mommy and daddy. They'll know about it, that is unless you all are living under a rock somewhere.

That's both a fake and and an outright fraud. Don't give the phishers your personal information at all. Have the message spammed straight into oblivion right away.
