Yahoo, AOL, MSN, GMAIL, etc do not have lotteries. They do not give money away. If it sound to good to be true it is. If you did not enter then how can you win. It is a SCAM just hit the SPAM button. Do not open emails like this it just confirms your email address and you will get a lot more spam. Never give out your personal info to any of these places. It is a phishing scam. Yes yahoo knows about them. Hope this helps!!!

That message is both a fake and an outright fraud. Don't give the phishers any of your personal information at all. Spam that scam message straight into oblivion right away. This is one lottery you'll never win because it's "bogus."

Another thing, the phishers telling you to "keep this lottery information confidential" would indicate to you not to say anything about this to anybody until they have finished scamming you.
