How true is yahoo lottery?
Looks fake
Reply:Come on, why would you think this is real? Sorry to be rude, but you'r enot alone in wondering if stuff like this is real.





Has anyone EVER just walked up and offered you a ton of money? Just because its the Internet doesn't make it any different. People don't just give away money, and illegal is illegal.
Reply:I forgot the question
Reply:All African e-mails are fraud. Stanley "Tookie" Williams and his porn gang are doing those. Williams was executed in CA for murder. He is however immortal for the spamming.
Reply:Big Scam!
Reply:The Letters (examples below) are typical examples of the scam. You receive notices that you have mysteriously won some HUGE overseas/international lottery. They advise you to keep quiet about your winning (no kidding). All this amounts to is a fraud by coercion, they get you to 'think' you've won something, then direct you with steps you must take to collect.





The end result (if you're lucky) is you lose some money, if you're not so lucky you could also lose your identity to theives. So protect yourself and others, report any such messages you receive. If you have participated in the scam, Don't feel bad it was a "con" ..as in "they got your confidence that they were for real". Now you have to help shut them down, contact your local police and FBI office and report your participation and what you have provided/lost. They win if you don't report them!
