Phony Sweepstakes...?
I keep getting a "you've won 2 million dollars" sweepstakes e-mail from a supposed london bank.
How do I report this to yahoo! and/ or to whatever agency may be interested in following up on fraud/computer scams?
Also, is there a program on yahoo or in windows that lets you know the actual origin of the server/country the e-mail is coming from?
