I have received an email from Mrs. Mercy Martins" <davidagent_london@yahoo.com Regarding Award of 820,000,00

This is a SCAM. The below links gives confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet, 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.

There is no such thing as the Yahoo Awards Center and you didn't win half a million something from anyone. This is SPAM! You opened it and believed it, and really thought you'd get something for nothing! Why not go ahead and send them all the information they ask for and watch your identity be stolen and your bank account stripped.

Or better still, put this in spam along with all the others you will now receive. Every time you open one of these things, you send a notice back to the spammer that gives him your actual email id and address. He collects and sells that information to other spammers. Your spam load then increases.

IT'S A SCAM!!!!!!!! You've won no money!!!! Don't give them any information!! DELETE IT!! Everyone gets those emails. In fact, when preparing this question, you should have looked at the similar questions Y!A offered. They do that so you can get your answers, and then don't have to waste 5 points on posting a question.

Don't answer it. Report it and the email address to Yahoo. I did. They never award cash prizes.

This is an outright scam. Get the message spammed into the trash now. Don't fall for this "bogus" lottery because you'll never get anything out of it.
