Yahoo does not run lotteries nor does Microsoft





also such a "promotion" was never advertised. Yahoo here only gives away POINTS not money.





you see where they want your full details with PASSPORT and LICENCE numbers? they are trying to get details they can use for building up fake identities for criminals.
Reply:Oh boy, doesn't anyone ever research these same dumb questions that are asked every day? This is one of the longest running scams on the internet - been going on for years. YAHOO DOES NOT CONDUCT LOTTERIES.


MICROSOFT DOES NOT CONDUCT LOTTERIES.


NEITHER ONE OF THEM GIVES AWAY FREE MONEY!
