This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them.

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. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Reply:Its a scam! I get those all the time! They ask you for a small "processing" and then they take your money! Don't open the email, its spam and can put viruses in your computer! Don't open any email saying that you won money or they want your help getting an inheritance. There are alot of scammers out there. If its to good to be true, it probably is!!!

Reply:Oh, I got one of those too. So, I doubt if we can both win.


There is no such thing as Yahoo Windows Live Hotmail Award. There is no free money. The program does not exist. You opened and read spam email. Put it back in spam and forget it.
Reply:I think you are being "scammed".


Contact Yahoo yourself to verifiy, before you "leap".


Scammers "play" people for their "greed" --- which most of us have --- you just have to keep it under check.


Anytime "they" ask you to send in money,or personal information about yourself -- or to call a certain phone number %26gt; "RUN" !!!


That "certain phone number" you call will wind up costing you a small fortune-$$$. Your phone bill will shock you ,when you have to pay it.


This is part of the way "they" make money off you --- Part/most of this "phone bill" will go to "them".


Don"t be another sucker ------.


+ Stop + Look + and + Listen + -- before you step out.


Have a nice day.
