i was contacted by by an email sent to me by dr mrs?

Yahoo do not operate a lottery. This is a scam. Here is some further information about these scam emails:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... 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. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

I used get some version of that , at least once/week . It's just another "Nigerian Scam" Although, the Jihadis are getting into it also . It stopped when I said to send info to my other address:

" (My Name )

c/o Andrew Cuomo

Office of the Attorney General of NY State

(xxxx) Governmental Plaza

Albany ,NY (12xxx)"

(& included email for same)

We just went thru this with these people and found out it was a scam. Nigerian scam at that..419 Nigerian lottery scam I think is what they call it. We didn't lose any money, but when it came time to send a copy of my wife's drivers license...I did more checking and found out it was a scam....Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!!
