i got a mail from yahoo they wrote that I won 500 $ at yahoo .

It's a scam. You shouldn't even open the email. I'm sure you didn't enter any contest. Yahoo never runs any. Chances are you'll get a second and third notice as well. Trash them immediately. ‹(°¿°)›

SCAM, SCAM and SCAM! Something should be remembered always that there is nothing such as free money or easy money in this world. And if there is, then take your guard and watch out, something illegal, heinous thing is being done through you. One of my contact's friend in Mexico sent her savings of $2000 to a so called lottery company as processsing fees in hope of receving the one million dollars that she had "won". I wonder how people fall for such things. No wonder, she lost them.

As much as I'd like to say congratulations, you've won, this is SPAM. As jumpinjack00 said, don't even bother opening these emails. I would be a billionaire twenty times over if only one in ten were true. I have been left money from kings of African nations, some relative in the UK, Netherlands, Sweden, etc And I have won lotteries all over the world. Two words - I WISH!! These people prey on people who they hope will give them money in the hope of making lots more.

im pretty sure that its untrue, its only another spam. maybe the sender name "yahoo services" but actualy it just email send by program like outlook express or such, you they can change the sender mailaddress or nick as they like. example admin@yahoo.com

It definitely sounds like a scam to me.

Almost every week i get such fake messages.but i never open them as i know its a scam.I think some spammers using the name of yahoo to mail people like this.Mails of those type will contain harmful virus so better not to open them and delete it instantly.

Yeah, it's a scam. Don't trust any sender even if it claims that it is from yahoo because it does not come from them. I recieve the same message too and until now they are sending me emails telling me that I won.

I've got the same email the other day and I foward the email to yahoo and they told me that that was a scam because they never send me such email. But they actually want me to inform them again if I have something similar in the future becuase it could help them improve they service...xx

SPAM that's what it's all about. I get on the average 2 a day they seem to have a special attachment to my email address. My advice dont open them, just trash it. You can't win what you never entered for.

i get it too but for me that just spam email..not more then that...how can yahoo want to paid me..???i don`t thing i have join any contest at yahoo...then how can that money come from????you will get money or you will lost money..after you give your egold account or paypal account...i don`t even trust that email...

plase dont ever give them the money,they are intelligent scam and can never pay your your money.your account numer may be inrisk in their hand because they can be harkers.
