    Don't send personal info. This is a well-known scam. Never, ever, ever, ever reply to emails requesting personal information.

    If you received an email out of the blue saying you've won a prize in an international lottery?

    Be warned. It's almost certainly a fraud.

    Usually, you're excited about a windfall and keen to claim the money, even though you don't exactly remember ever entering the lottery in the first place. You contact the people who emailed you, and they reply in a polite and helpful way. There's just one catch. They want you to send them a 'fee' to process your winnings. That's the fraud. You have not really won anything at all, but your winnings are dangled in front you while the scammers try to get as much money out of you in fees and charges.

    it' Spam, actually it's more like a scam. DO NOT send them any information. There is no such thing as Yahoo lottery and all they want is your personal information so they can make your life a living hell. Delete it and forget you ever saw it.

    Normally Yahoo! people can't send spams. But be careful. Do not send any of your personal information.

    Mark it as spam and delete it.

    So far I have won about 6 foreign lotteries, and have passed up about a billion US dollars that I could have gotten from foreign countries.

    They want your information to steal from you.

    Don' t reply!!
