Yes it is definitely a scam...delete it!...
Yup, similar to the Nigerian 419 scam. Ignore it -- it's SPAM
Since I got this email also, as well as several of my friends, I think yes, it's a scam.
It is the first time that I have seen the whole SCAM set out. Do not give any details or e mail them at all as this will verify that you are a live PC.
If you give your Bank details your account will be plundered within minutes of you sending them. Delete it and answer some other questions.
yep scam.
Yeah, they are phishing for your personal details so that they can steal your identity.
Tell the police.
You can tell it is a scam since these excuses for human beings, do not even check their spelling which stands out like a sore thumb
(immidiately.)
Yes, it's another spam scam, don't respond just mark it spam and dump it, if you respond or bounce it back they know they have an active person to continue sending to you.
Yes it is on here every week
YES YES YES
Sounds suspicious to me.
The Lottery people would never ever ask you for bank details.
Never ever give personal details like this out.
It sounds like a scam. Ignore and delete this message.
Yes it definatly is.
scam! scam! scam! the fact he uses yahoo email address when its supposed to be bank should tell you something is amiss
This is called 'Phishing' and is an attempt at identity theft.
It's a typical scam email - if you reply there will be 'fees' that need paying before you can release your winnings.
Stay well clear of this, and don't even reply or else the scammer will know you have a 'live' email address and the amount of spam you receive will increase.
You need to ask?
scam indeed - I have had several of these kind of things - all they want are your personal details to do with what they want - delete
