This is 100% SCAM. Most people with email addresses received that same email. These spammers use gimmicks like a fake prize promotion to get you to open their emails and ask you to give them your personal information or your money. Opening a spam mail, you could be unleashing a virus on your computer or alerting the spammers that your email address is an active one. This means you could receive a tons of spam mails. NEVER open mails from people you don't trust.
You can check to see if any emails you get are scams at

Sure, it's a scam. Delete it and look at other similar posts on this subject on MyLot.

It is really great if you really won 500$. Try to see if you can find this promotion through the Yahoo! website or look to see if the link will starts with www.yahoo.com. It sounds a bit too good to be true and I have never heard of this promotion. If in doubt look for contact info from yahoo.com and see if they have heard of such promotion.

Scam a very big scam, willing to fool all people to get money from theyr acounts and don't give them anything. Good think I reporeted it and delete it, if you get the same e-mail delete it right away without looking into it. It would be great if yahoo makes such contests, because they are allready earning milions of dollars from us...

Hey, we're on the same boat! I received an email just like that few hours ago.. I was like surprised when i read that and immediately buzzed my brother in law who's a nerdy nerdy with computer. . Those sneaky bas**rds cant do nothing good to others. Its a fake cause he checked on it over and over again and it wasn't really been sent by yahoo but by some "tumbo.hostigation" wackos i dunno whats that. Anyway, better luck for us next time my friend. haha! (",)

Most emails saying that you have won money are scams so you should just delete them, but if it really looks real then u should just contact yahoo or the company that is being forged.
