It's a scam, period .You didn’t enter a lottery, and YAHOO isn’t running a lottery. All you are going to win is an empty bank account and more trouble than you ever dreamed of. Possibly a “courier” bill for a few thousand to “deliver” a “prize” you’ll never see.g. If you want to bother, forward the fraudulent email to phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com, spam@uce.gov, and 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov.FBI: http://www.fbi.gov/FTC: http://www.ftc.gov/

Ok. Brainstorm. Lets think. Why would Yahoo send YOU money? ... Hmmm. Also, If the prize money is in pounds, that means the lottery was based in the U.K., meaning you can't win. They wont go convert money and send it over to you...TRADEWINDS GLOBAL EXPRESS COURIERSGoogle anyone?Also found this link, http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/abuse/abuse-63.htmlNever fell for a scam, and it would take an extremely sly person, who is the epitome of cleverness to get me to even begin considering.Think about it, people fight for and die over money, why would someone give a complete stranger a large amount of money?Scammers now use better English, Wow!
