i have received several of the exact same so i contacted microsoft and sent them what i received asking the same question and they replied letting me know that in no way was is true so i reported it to fbi scam alert
You better not even reply!
These are all definitely scams. This type of mail has all of the signs of a scam. There is no Yahoo Lottery, Microsoft Lottery (emmulating from the UK or anywhere else) or any other form of lottery you can win without buying a ticket.
There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades.
The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings in Nigeria are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy.
By the way, I have kind of become an anti-scam activists due to the fact that I have many friends who have had their identities and life savings stolen from them via these methods.
This is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question.
If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, nigeria 419 scams, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud. You can also read more about this at secretservice.gov and 419eater.com!
If you have lost money you should report it to the U.S. Secret Service at secretservice.gov
I hope this is helpful, because I could sure use a best answer!
This is a scam; did you enter a lottery?
If you didn't enter a lottery, then it is obviously fraudulent.
just another scam.. delete it never reply.
LOL
