Have you received e-mails telling you that you won the lottery?

This has happened to me a month ago and they have been persistent. After knowing that there was no Yahoo lottery. I sent Yahoo the e-mail for confirmation and it was indeed a scam. You would think it was real because a picture of some person in the e-mail. I asked Yahoo if they do some actions or report it to the authorities to stop those scam. They seem to make no actions because the scam still happens.

Yes, I receive many such mails off and on. Previously, I used to read through those but now, with experience I just trash those outright. So, topei, you should ignore them as spams or else you can revert the mail to scam@fraudinternational.com. good luck1

Yeah, those are just spam emails. All they are are scams that want you to give them money and then you get screwed over.
