I received YAHOO LOTTERY WINNING NOTIFICATION is that true ?
Yahoo! Mail announce to you the draw of the Yahoo Lottery Coporation program held on the 17th of July, 2007 in London. Your e-mail address attached to ticket number: 511-01555176-208 with Serial number 5000/03 drew the lucky numbers: 16-8-10-16-25-9, which subsequently won you the lottery prize in the 2nd category. You have therefore been approved to claim a total sum of GBP£1,500,000.00 (One million five hundred thousand Great Britain pounds) in cash credited to file C/9080118308/02. This is from a total cash prize of GBP£45 Million , shared amongst the first Thirty (30) lucky winners in this category

Don't spend all your winnings at once...!-
scam
THEY WANT YOU TO RESPOND TO STEAL YOUR IDENTITY
COMPLETE SCAM.
Don't even think about it.
It's a scam. They'll either ask you for a modest "fee" before you can claim your award, or ask for your bank information so they can transfer the funds directly, and then they'll clean out your account. Anytime someone tells you that you won a contest you didn't enter, be skeptical.
It's a scam
I know a woman who was given some money. They don't give you the whole amount, but you recieve quite a sum.
they will need your bank account in order to deposit your winning? and then they can strip your account this is a scam
Are the people who continually ask this question daily a big bunch of total retards ?
Of course it's a scam you retard.
If U dided pay for it ..? and if its from the U K. area it is a rip off.

Did you bought any lottery ticket? Let me guess: now they just need you to give them your. ss number, credit card number, plus they want you to pay for some "paper work" before they can send you any money.
Wake up!! Nobody wins "Internet SURPRISE lotteries". That's a very old scam.

Every lottery, anywhere in the world requires you to buy a ticket FIRST.

Cant for the life of me understand why Yahoo doesn't stop this sort scam email going through its mail server's, surely its not rocket science to block them by ajusting the filters
and why are they not reporting the senders to the police ??
Just delete the information immediately from your e-mail its a load of rubbish, "scam" i keep getting them also and "requests" to give me large amounts of money from people in South Africa.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE dont go there.its a scam and should not be replied to. Yahoo dont do lotterys
WOW, congrats!!
scam
Total scam I'm afraid. DON'T reply.
SCAM!!! Just contact Yahoo directly, not from any links in the email you received. They will tell you for sure.
There is no Yahoo or Internet Lottery, it's a scam.
I used to post links to the debunking articles about this, but I've seen so many questions about this absurd "Yahoo Lottery" that I don't bother anymore. The people posting clearly can't be bothered to type two words into a search engine, or read the links Yahoo brings up when you try to submit a question about it.
Here's a link to a Yahoo Question from a guy who fell for the scam:
