How do i check my yahoo mail?

Dear Yahoo,I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL FROM YAHOO AND I WANT TO KNOW IF IT IS LEGIT. HOW DO I CHECK THAT?

  • I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL TELLING ME THAT I AM A WINNER FROM SOME E-MAIL CONTEST THAT YAHOO E-MAIL ADDRESSESS WERE ENTERED. I THINK IT'S SPAM BUT WANTED TO MAKE SURE BECAUSE IT HAD THE YAHOO UK & IRELAND LOGO. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

  • Answer:

    This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them. http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lotteryscam_Yahoo2.php 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 scam. Report it to yahoo. It's a very popular one also. Don't give your e-mail address to anyone you don't know, don't register it anywhere online. I always just make one up and enter it, as long as it has an @ and a .com or .net they don't know the difference.

Its a scam. What I do when I sign up for any website, I have a spam account that I use for the click back links.
