Is This Email Scam?emaildavidwarner2@yahoo.d鈥?received a letter of Winning prize.?

This is definitely a scam and one which is continually asked on this site. The people who send out these email scams just want to part you from your hard earned cash. They will sometimes ask you to confirm (i.e. call) a premium rate number, where you are kept hanging on the end of the phone for a very long time, they in turn receive a huge chunk of the cash you have clocked up using your phone. Delete these emails, send them into cyberspace where they belong, along with the thieves who are sending them.

Reply:General rule of thumb:





(1) does it sound too good to be true?


(2) does it contain unrelated text?


(3) if you click a link, does the link seem to match the product? (example: "get 10 cases mountain dew free -%26gt; does it take you to www.mountaindew.com ?)


(4) do they ask for personal information (bank accounts to "help transfer money")





If you answer yes, yes, no, and yes, then it's a scam!
Reply:Yes so spam it.
Reply:Don't open it. Just delete it you don't open any email from anyone you don't know. Just delete it get rid of it. Its a lie. And alot of those things could hold viruses in them. And if you get a virus just think " Did I open an emial that I don't know?" And thats probably where the virus came from.

Reply:Remember - the only people who can make you a millionaire for doing nothing are the National Lottery (and even then you have to buy a ticket). Always check on www.snopes.com - you'll find that just about everyone of these emails is a scam and they just keep going round and round the world and turning up in your inbox year after year.
Reply:Seems like all the scammers are useing Yahoo addresses lately. I have had 2 letters in 2 days from Yahoo email accounts. One wants to fly me to south africa so I can open a joint bank account, to make millions... The other was about a dead person who died and willed me millions, also from south africa.


NEVER NEVER FALL FOR THOSE PEOPLE!!
