I got mail of yahho saying you won 500 dollar.

I got a lot of emails saying that I won this and I won that but I didn't even try to open it. Because, if never registered myself to be in one of those prices and I'm afraid if somebody put a virus to spread in my computer if I open those email. So, I prefer to be save and let the 500 dollar prices go away....

i also recieved that kind of e-mail from yahoo. that is a scam according to some forums. they ask you to be a member of yahoo games and you need to pay for that. yahoo does not give away prizes such as the one mentioned in the e-mail.

I agree with others responses to your discussion, its common, sometimes I read but before replying I check sites on names sent to me... mostly scam....

This discussion was posted a year ago so I know that you realize now that those kind of emails are just scams. I do get those kind of emails every now and then. All I do is trash them. I don't even bother opening them up. It isn't worth my time because if I didn't enter something how am I able to win anything.

Its a 100% scam mail friend.People using yahoo gets whole lot of these scam mails daily.I just dont open them, simply delete it.Also we get some mail like the fund transfer from soem other country for which they seek our help promising to pay us some percentage as commission.Fake mails revolve around to all using free email ids from yahoo, msn etc.,

I just received an email recently coming from co.uk stating that i won 1,000,000.00 and 750,000.00 pounds sterling. Wow what an awesome amount, a very grand prize sent in an email but it's all scam. I've searched it in the web and purely scam.
