How can I Verify My e-mail?

How can I verify that a email received from Yahoo is not a scam about a lottery I supposedly won?

  • The email said that my email add had been selected by Yahoo Beta Mail to win 1 million USD and to send my information to a [email protected] (phone +2348051088654.I want to know if this is true. I've already been a victim of an email scam for the UK. If this is true, why can't this prize be claimed here in the USA instead of in foreign countries?

  • Answer:

    If any mail impersonates Yahoo! telling you that you have won moneytary prize or lottery then its not true and that is a 'phishing mail' or scam! Read that from here and take actions accordingly: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/abuse/abuse-63.html If you received an email impersonating Yahoo! and would like to report it please forward the email to: [email protected] [email protected]

100% SCAM. Yahoo doesn't have lotteries or cash giveaways. 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.

You've been scammed once before and yet it seems that you want to fall for the same old trap again! No one wins lotteries via the email.
