鈾ts an EASY way of getting personal information and send you MORE of such messages to FILL up your Inbox! Yahoo keeps telling that they never send lottery E-mails to anyone saying that you've won XXX amounts. Never go to a site, which has contests and hosts mail lotteries.

Mark it as SPAM and delete them immediately. If you try to respond or do any kinds of things, then the spammers will know that you have a working E-mail address and send you hundreds of such mails. It鈥檚 popularly called as Phishing SCAM to steal your identity and mail passwords. If people were winning huge amounts and lotteries every day it would be featured on the news with pictures of the lucky people.

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. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace.
