Reply:heres a question -we know yahoo is us company right?

Reply:It's a lottery scam. This person will ask you to send a fee to claim the winnings, or to send your credit card details. Eventually you'll believe that the money will come, so you keep sending money. This person uses a yahoo email address, so you can forward it onto abuse@yahoo.com. For more information on the lottery scam, go to http://www.419eater.com/index.htm
Reply:of course its scam
Reply:You won congrats to you :)





Now just go ahead and wait for them to follow up in an email telling you to send $3000 to cover the processing fees of paperwork and transfer to bank and then after you send it just wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for the lottery check to come to you while they drive around in the nice new car you helped those guys buy because you thought you won.





Again congrats and good luck getting a cent!!
