I just recieved an email from World bank in Spain stating I won $600,000. Does Yahoo really do these kinds of lotteries? And it said this is the first time they conducted the lottery this year. Is this a scam or not?

I watched a program on TV by Chris Hansen that showed these types of emails are always scams! They are trying to get you to give them all your personal information and then they will say they can't release the money to you until you pay them a fee. Its deffinately a scam!

No No No- I have NEVER heard of Yahoo running any type of lottery of this sort- sounds like a SCAM- don't do it!

Rule of thumb - if you know you have not bought a lottery ticket for a prize or money and you get an e-mail saying you won, delete it. It's a scam.
