I have received an email, It is from Yahoo/MSN Lottery Inc & windows live, advising I have won money? True ?

Is this a hoax email ? Is there any such thing as Yahoo/MSN %26amp; microsoft windows electronic balloting system, which draws 5 winners per month - from: Msn/Yahoo Lottery Incorporation

Nope... I can show you a copy of the exact same email, with the exact same details telling me that I am also a winner.





Unfortunately, it's a scam. Don't reply to it, as you'll be added to their 'real address' list, and they'll keep sending you more. It's also possible that just by opening it you've been added, but that's not 100% definite (whereas replying is).
Reply:no there is not.. it is a scam to get you to give out you name address and bank details so that the sender can get money in your name and leave you in debt for the rest of your days





NEVER GIVE PERSONAL DETAILS OUT OVER THE INTERNET


or reply to such e-mails


NOT even your e-mail address
Reply:There has been 3 or 4 people with the exact same question lately that I have seen - All were hoaxes -
Reply:RULE NUMBER ONE:





NEVER open an e-mail unless you know the sender.





Curiosity killed the cat so to speak and yes it is a hoax.
Reply:dont fall for it..
Reply:That is called Phishing - if you give all your personal details and bank info to the site that that email links to - you will wake up tomorrow with a DRAINED bank account and someone else with your ID.








Delete the email.
Reply:That email is not what you think it is, it seems more of a spam email to me.
