YOU WON $500! Yahoo! Mail congratulates you!

intex · 03-17-2007

This is the biggest fraud mail you might be getting from yahoo these days. Never click on any link you see inside or never give away ur credit card or any other personal details.

Just thought of letting you guys know.

I got several mails like these as well and I didn't even bother to open them because I've never participated in any lotteries.
When something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Follow this rule and you can't go too much wrong with that.

I hope somebody can post a sample email on this. Is the email really coming from yahoo? How can scammers make use of an official email address from yahoo?

I guess the general rule for this is not to enter any credit card information after clicking a link on the email.

PHP scripts.

I received this email about four months ago to my Gmail, I am afraid that I do not have a sample as I deleted the message! Sorry! I wish I hadn't have now!
