LOTTERY SCAM:-

♦Its purely a 'SPAM'. Do not respond to any of those messages as they intend to ‘STEAL’ your personal information. It is also enough for one E-mail to bait users into more of such lottery winning games. It is entirely a 'FAKE'. Who would give you free money if you had never participated in any of the contests?

♦Its an EASY way of getting personal information and send you MORE of such messages to FILL up your Inbox! Yahoo keeps telling that they never send lottery E-mails to anyone saying that you've won XXX amounts. Never go to a site, which has contests and hosts mail lotteries.
