I won 500$ with YahooMail, but...

How did you win $ 500 with yahoo mail? Haven't seen anyone win stuff on yahoo. I would ask a friend or family member to do this for you as I don't think a complete stranger on mylot is going to go for this. It doesnt sound right. I would just pay the $ 8 membership fee and then you won't need anyone to do this for you. Hope this helps and good luck getting your money. Make sure it's not a scam first.

It's probably not from Yahoo at all. Just some scammer pretending to be from Yahoo. I have never received any such emails before from Yahoo. I believe t's some scammer who's out to cheat people of their hard earned cash. So I feel that it would be most wise to just delete the email.

How did you win 500$ dollars on YahooMail? It might be a scam you know?

If Yahoo insist that you pay into E-Gold and have to pay an $8 Membership Fee to do so, then it's most likely either a pfishing scam or some kind of scam by E-Gold, although I'm not sure what, if you won it from Yahoo. I would advise you to report it to Yahoo and ask whether it's a scam. Don't open any links and don't give any personal information whatsoever. I get these pfishing scams from Paypal and E-Bay and you'll be the one who ends out of pocket, and if you have a credit card, your information will be stored by these people purporting to be E-Gold, together with any bank details you give them, and your account emptied. Please report to Yahoo and then delete.

yeah i too got the same mail and when i tried to redeem that it asked for the premium membership. I think this is scam. First it was saying that get your free $500 then after it asked to take premium membership. Its better if you not tempt for this offer because there may be many hidden cost incurred if you go with this..

Dear Friend i already have recieved that kind of e-mail and i paid them $8 for membership fee. but nothing happend. they wont pay you. i lost my money1st of all remember yahoo will never accept any third party payment processor. Yahoo have thier own payment processor or they are accepting credit cards. so dont pay $8. it is scam and ask about them directly to yahoo . i asked and yahoo staff said they are scam and using yahoo's name. yahoo are going to make case on them. I hope it will help you. Best of luck

there are so many scams out there...first of all, did you join or sign up for something that was supposed to have you win a prize? secondly, how can they say you won but can only claim winnings after paying for an amount? SCAM. there is a federal site that you can forward these scam emails to to have them investigate.

i dont believe this ........ bcz my two friend too got the mail from yahoo that they had won 500$ so many in this world had got that mail.......is yahoo paying?....i dont think so......:C

I smell something fishy with that kind of offer. So that you wont get stung please stay away from the bees, the honey may be too sweet to refues but please save your self from future regret. I hae ben mailed with that kind of offer and a friend told me to be careful with those kinds of offers. I suggest you just try your luck here on mylot for in mylot you will never regret it. Here you dont have to pay for anything, you just do your work of posting and replying others discussions and the minimum payout is only $ 10 and you dont have to pay for anything here. Hope you have a nice day!

It is a 100% Scam.......I got a mail one month back saying that, i have been selected from the yahoo users for mega price of million dollars......They asked me to give the address for communication and bank details to deposit the money.......After providing all the details, they sent a mail saying that they can not transfer such a huge amount to my savings account and asked me to reach Abudabi to receive the amount and I replied I canot reach there..... Again they sent a mail asking me to sent $8000 to open an account in Abudhabi and Transfer the amount. For that I sent a reply asking them to deposit $8000 and transfer the millions and the initial deposit can be adjusted or will be pay back once the amount is released.......then there was no reply from them. The Scammers company Name is Transglobal and they send the mails from trans_glo_ag@yahoo.ca Please beware of such scams

i saw another mylotter receive the same email from yahoo. I am pretty sketical about these scams, because scammers will use their programming tools to fake up an email from yahoo, and a spy program link to your paypal or egold account. Once u enter ur paypal or egold username and password, they will got a copy of it, and will use up ur account money. I saw how someone did it last time while i was in college, it is not that difficult. Thus, be cautious!

I also got same mail some days back and i was tempted to pay that $8 fee. Afterwards it came to my mind that it can be a scam and i remembered what my teacher taught me in schools - A hen in hand worths more than 2 in bush! And i decided to leave the offer with a heavy heart!

I receive the same mail, too. But I can't open the link, so I think it is a scam. Don't believe it. There are too much scams like that. Here you can know lots of people received such mail, I have two yahoo email, and I received both of it. How can I believe it? Am I so lucky to have $1000 from two yahoo email? I suggest you to increase your referrals here, then you will really get more and more money. There is another good site, adbux, you can get money from it too. good luck.
