Anyone here received email saying that a certain person with your surname just indeirted you a million dollars? asking for your full name, email and phone numbers. then they'll call you and asked to deposit 20 dollars. Emails like this should be screened and block by yahoo. they keep on fooling people for money.

yahoo should do something about this kind of scam. There are people who are not smart enough to know that this is just a scam

I get these emails all the time myself. I have actully replied to them to ask them to stop sending spam to me. Then I mark at as spam and delete it.

I think we can use scam guard to prevent such mails. Just find more details from yahoo and apply it.
