Reply:It is a scam. The first thing to remember is this. You can not win a lottery unless you enter it. Did you ever enter a lottery from MSN, Yahoo, or Windows Live??? NO you did not since there is not one. All those e-mails that say you have won a lottery either from MSN or some place that used your e-mail address or even the person from some other country that needs your help to get their funds from the bank. It is all a scam. There is NO ONE looking to give you Free money. It would be nice, yes. However, it is a scam.
Reply:You have not Won anything? It is a typical fraud from a person trying to take money from you. Just report the email as spam and delete it from your computer.





Also, do an immediate spyware sweep of your computer as it more than likely uploaded spyware the moment you opened the email. Whoever sent the email is more than likely tracking every keystroke you make on your computer to gain access to all your passwords to your bank, email, etc.
Reply:It's a fraud for sure. Mark that mail as spam. There are plenty of mails like this that one receives as spam with interesting subjects to gain attention of the user, and many times the end-user ends up getting infected with a spyware, getting trapped in giving out some fund to those people or getting his personal information at stake.
Reply:It is a fraud, they will most likely ask you for a release fee to 'release' the money into your account if you reply to them.


If you didn't enter the 'lottery' then how could you possibly win it?
Reply:I highly doubt it. Since when was there a yahoo msn lottery ?


Think about contacting yahoo and msn before verifying.
