Yahoo Awards Center Lottery or Sweepstake is a Scam.
The following is the info from Yahoo regarding this scam:
"No. There is no Yahoo! Lottery, and we would never send you information about a contest you never entered.
That’s the definition of unsolicited: you never asked for it. It showed up out of nowhere. The message probably also displays two other hallmarks of fraud emails: it appears to be official (with company logos, even links), and it demands urgent action “to claim your prize”, or something similar.
If you’ve received a message like “Final Notification: Yahoo! Mail Winner!” or “Your Email Address Has Won $XX million”, it’s a scam.
Don’t reply to the email, don’t click on any links in it, and never divulge any personal information. Instead, click Spam.
Yahoo! Mail will never request personal information in an unsolicited email.
If you get an email that looks like it’s from Yahoo! but tells you you’re the winner of a Yahoo! Lottery or other contest – and it asks you to email personal information to claim a cash prize or reward – click Spam to dispose of it. You can also forward the suspicious email to mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com. Thanks!
"Phishing" is a play on the word "fishing" — because perpetrators are "fishing" for your private information or trying to find ways to trick you into sending them money. Don’t be fooled! These deceptive emails are used to commit identity theft, charge your credit cards, empty your bank accounts, read your email, and lock you out of your online account by changing your password.
Check out Yahoo’s Security Center for more information on email scams and ways to protect yourself."
If you would like to verify this to satisfy yourself that you are not the lucky one, check this Yahoo page. As one of our commentators below noted, there so many winners in this page... more than the number mentioned in the mail. And if Yahoo runs a lottery, it will be a great news and the talk of the internet.

23, you dont get your money back. its the same as being robbed. it says yahoo but comes from hotmail, spellings are wrong, addresses are wrong and the last part almost comes right out n tells you your going to get robbed. this is my third one of these. if yahoo wants you to have money they'll just send it to you.

said this on 10 Aug 2007 10:19:46 PM CDT
articles are good.it will be better if The real Yahoo and windows send an email all the users that this is a fruad being run by a proxy.
it will the best if the yahoo legal deptt take action against such e-criminal operators on the basis of this articles.to ask to change the password is to ignore the culprit to abuse this respectable media whrein Yahoo is a stakeholder.E-crime is to be fought on the e-police lavel.we all togather has a responsibility to unite togather to fight such crimes simply to clean the media and also to save anothers precious time and energy.So start from cleaning the emails spam if the crime is done on an institutional way and tortuous action lies at the Leviathan as YAHOO & WINDOWS LIVE. |

It is not easy to catch scammers when the country is reportedly run by people from the same profession. And we also found that it is not safe to travel to a country like Nigeria. We heard that westerners were shot dead in the Airport carpark. If the scammer travels to the country where the victim stays, the local police can be called to catch them. Check out our news archive.
