Lottery fraudsters %26amp; Scam email like these keep coming?
I always mark them as Spam and send them in.
Reply:thank you
Reply:YAHOO isn’t running a lottery; nor is Microsoft. . All anyone is going to win is an empty bank account and more trouble than they ever dreamed of. Possibly a “courier” bill for a few thousand to “deliver” a “prize” they’ll never see. If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.

Reply:They keep coming to you because you keep winning you lucky son of a gun!





They stopped coming for me, some say it is because I have effective spam controls, but me, I think it is because you are winning instead of me.





I know one day my day will come!
Reply:Most of us know not to ever open an email when we can't recognize or identify the source.





Once you open it, they gotcha! They then have open access to you and your personal information. They have computer software that can invade through the email and mine your personal data. In addition, once you open it, they can then sell your information to other scammers....that's how these things operate.





Don't open unrecognized mail and, if you do, delete immediately.
Reply:Thanks for that, but I would just delete them anyway.
Reply:it is better to avoid such type of mails. thanks for your information
