Scammer Location: UK and Africa
Scammer Email: internet.net@earthlink.net

The famous Yahoo lottery (scam) has return have to Beta. We wonder what happened.

Yahoo did not run the lottery below. The scammers would want you to pay for a fee before you can claim your "winnings", which in fact does not exist. And after you have paid once, they will find excuses for you to pay a second time, and a third, until your bank account bleeds dry or you come to your senses before reaching $0 in your bank statement.

Oh, wakeup, there is no free lunch. And you don't even get a free lunch in this case, you get nothing except more stress in the current financial crisis and holiday season.

Any fees that you pay to the UK or African scammer will be gone for good. The FBI and police have a long list of scammer reports and it would not be possible to recover any money lost in this scam.
