Yahoo! 2006 Mail Grant Prize WinnersYahoo! Netrospective: Is this mail prize grant authentic?
Good gravy no. It's a total crock. Delete and move on.
Reply:Don't just check the "From:" address, you can change that as easily as you can type any email address into it. The beginning of the email sounds good, I like the fact that it says "contact Yahoo! NOW", then I scrolled down and warning bells screamed in my head when I saw the address being in Nigeria.





The first advice I had before even reading the email is to contact Yahoo! and confirm it. Don't use the contact details in the email, but the addresses from Yahoo! Mail help.





As it is, reading the full email, I think this is a scam, mainly because of the various inconsistencies, like the email address, the fact that Kano, Nigeria dialling code is 64, not 802 (and none of the cities in Nigeria has 3-digit area code), and nothing in that Netrospective page that hinted on Yahoo! giving out Mail Grant Prize (I don't see why Yahoo! would not be promoting something like this).





Um, and a word of advice, if that S'porean address and phone number are really yours, I suggest you censor it with 'xxxx' or something.
Reply:The #1 way to check is to see the email address that sent it. Just make sure that is _____@yahoo.com





If is anything other that yahoo.com, then It is fake
