About Yahoo! Lottery, please explain?
This sounds like a phishing letter. If you look at the "source code" of the message, you'll see that http://rds.yahoo.com/members/prizes.php?... is actually a completely different web site. If you DO put your e-gold, PayPal, or ANY other personal information in there, your account will be hacked and your money will be stolen.





It would be nice if it were true, but Yahoo! doesn't give members random cash prizes or run any sort of lottery. Sorry :-)
Reply:Be careful sounds like a spam
