The same thing. An epitome of a perfect scam, lol. I don't really buy this one. Though if its only true then a lot of people will be happy, because even if I am the only one who will win, I will surely share the money to my love ones and friends...Imagine 23 million pesos???? Hmmm...

Its difficult for yahoo to check each of the mail and report it as spam. Anyways yahoo has given an option for its uses to spam the messages if they find so. I think that should be fine. Anyways i always try to neglect such mails and delete them as i see it.

we all have to understand that we can never be away from spammers if we are always in the net. somehow, one way or another phishers gets hold of our ip address and emails and they can get through them. it is easy for hackers to do it at random having a very good software. so, we just have to live with them. the only way fro you to sign the off temporarily is to move them to our spam folders so yahoo can track their cookies and as for these spam messages, just simply ignore them.remember, the longer we are in the net and once we keep on surfing, phishers are around in every site we visit.

I know what you mean.. These type of mails show up in my inbox with net zero. Do you have your spam notification set on? They still just have a strange way of coming up... I don't know how it can but it does. When I get one, I will just mark it as spam. With my Net zero account, I will just block the user... But still others find a way to contact me. I don't know how they have gotten my email address in the first place. They don't even know my name.. This is very annoying! They are telling lies about this!
