How To Fill The Lottery Application?

I got an email claiming I won a million dollars in the yahoo international lottery, Bangkok. Is this real.?

  • The mail came from Bangkok Thailand. Dr. Raymond Hisashi is the vice president ot Yahoo lottery. The email address is [email protected] They want me to fill an application form with my full name, address, country of orgin,date of birth, occupation, tele. no.winning number batch number and lottery number. They also said 10% of my winnings must be paid to the promotion company.

  • 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 : http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo3.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. Just 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.

IT`S JUNK,IF YOU DIDN`T ENTER A LOTTERY YOU CAN`T WIN. I BET AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MESSAGE IT SAID NOT TO DISCUSS THIS WITH ANYONE TILL YOU GET YOUR WINNINGS, OR YOU COULD JEOPARDIZES AND NOT GET ANYTHING (MAYBE NOT THE SAME WORDS, BUT YOU GET THE JEST OF IT .) THEY WANT YOUR INFO , IT IS A BIG LIE!!!!!!

If it's too good to be true in an e-mail it is 99.999 percent of the time. There are countless scams on the internet so be careful never to give out any information that could allow someone to steal your identity. ex.( social security# , Account numbers,Credit Card info)

Nope those are all scams i get those all the time. You are never going to just randomly win a million dollars, or inherit it, or whatever through a random email on the net. They most likely are trying to rob you or steal your identity. Dont be a sucker.

A very common scam, usually comes from Nigeria or at least originates from there. Their intention is to send you a fake check and have you send them a portion of that back to them or someone else. They are hoping you will send them the money before the check you cash bounces. If you look at the check very closely, you will find misspellings. Google the address, city and state. It maybe real but the company at that address will be wrong. Something on the check will make it bounce once it gets back to the bank it was drawn on. Your bank will tell that there are two stages of a check clearing. The initial clear is required by law so you can use the money in something like 24 hours. The real clear takes longer, for domestic checks, about 2 or 3 weeks. One bank calls that 2nd clear "funds collected". If the check ever gets to that longer 2nd clear, the money is yours. If you do put that check into your bank, it is most important that you warn them that the check may be bad and you don't want to touch a cent of it until its really cleared. Read somewhere that international lotteries are illegal, especially if you never bought a ticket. If you google for this kind of scam, you find endless reading.
