Now I must be the LUCKIEST person in the world, yesterday I "won" $400,000 and today I "won" $700,000! Lol Is there anyone I can report these idiots to???
Can I report email lottery scam?
Congratulations! Can I borrow $125,000?
Check with your State Attorney Generals website and look for consumer fraud or e-mail fraud, and send the data to them.
Honestly, all you can do is to block the addresses, mark them as SPAM and be done with them.
Reply:You **can** report them to the "abuse" e-mail address of the ISP they were using (mail-abuse@yahoo-inc.com, for example), but it's usually not worth the bother. The most that will happen is the ISP will shut down the offending mailbox, and the most the ISP will tell **you** is that they have taken appropriate action against the offending account and that they are unable to disclose the specific action to a third party.
It won't bother the scammers much, because they're probably using several dozen free accounts to send their stuff out. But even aside from that, you don't even get the satisfaction of knowing you chopped off one of the hydra's heads (figuratively, of course) because the ISP won't disclose specific actions.
"Delete it and forget it" is the best policy for e-mails like those. Also, if you have friends who aren't so well-informed about e-mail scams, make sure you tell them all about it so they don't get suckered.
Reply:yes forward it to your email host: like mine is : spoof@yahoo.com. they send it to the appropriate folks. but quit opening those emails they knowwhen you click it open, just delete or press the spam button after you forward it to the host
Reply:Your email provider should have some kind of email you can forward these to...the only problem is that you would have to open up the email which isn't the greatest idea. It should be an abuse department or fraud department of some sort.
Reply:Yes go to this link :o)

Reply:Most all of this sort of fradulant e-mail activity originates from Nigeria, where the laws are weak and the authorities are easily bribed. Little can be done to prevent it.
To be quite honest, for a poor country such as Nigeria, these internet scams are a major source of "hard-currency"(US dollar, UK pound etc) for their local economy. The officials there simply "look the other way"
About the best one can do is scambait the b@$^@#ds and have some fun in the process.
"So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their time and resources. Whilst you are doing this, you will be helping to keep the scammers away from real potential victims and screwing around with the minds of deserving thieves."
"It doesn't matter if you are new to this sport or a hardened veteran; if you are wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way well that's good enough for us, and we would welcome you to join with our now very large community."

Reply:Not sure...but avoid opening them as there can be hidden surprises! Also block the email address and mark it as spam/junk.

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Please remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Hello.
I have received this emails:
Hello
Before we begin giving you more information on the apartment we need to know if you are currently up to date with your credit report. Obtaining your credit rating for free is easy, using the following link:
http://creditreporteveryone.com/creditch... (The process is free and safe and only takes a minute to fill out).
We have had a large number of defaulting tenants who came from Craigslist, so before we can set up an appointment with you we need to verify you are a credible tenant.
Once you have completed the application please e-mail us back.

Reply:I believe it is a scam. i received the same email in response to a craigslist ad for an apt in baltimore. it stated that there was an open house today but it had no info as to where the open house or the apt was. So I emailed and got the same exact response. First of all, no one gives credit reports for free except for the government through www.annualcreditreport.com (i think that is the correct site). So before i was going to click that link, i googled the site w/ and w/o the spaces. I also googled the email that the person sent. Nothing, nada. In this instance my gut says SCAM... do not go to this site and input your info cause once you do, its all over if it is a scam. It is better to be safe than sorry.
BTW, there seems to be a few of them like that. I work for a rental company and no reputable company will let you bring your own report. It could be someone else's so we pull our own. In fact, you have to be licensed in order to do that. My advice: BEWARE!!!

Scam email? Where might it have come from and anything I can do?
Email read as follows:
Dear sir/ madam
I am the auditing and accounting manager bank of Africa (B.O.A) here in Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso . In my department I discovered an abandoned sum of us$10.5m dollars (ten million five hundred thousand us dollars) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (Mr Richard Burson from Florida us) who died along with his entire family in 1999 in a plane crash.
Since I got information about his death, the bank have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased customer as indicated in our banking guidelines and laws.
But unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased customer for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after ten years, the money will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 30% of this money will be for you as a respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the business and 60% would be for me.
I will send to you by fax or email the text of application form. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch-free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made by me.
My regards to you and the family
Mr James Mustaf
I particularly hate the 'regards to you and the family bit' at the bottom. I can see why some people may actually fall for this. I have been on the bank of africa website and to the section for that particular country but can't seem to find any evidence of this man there, and it's all in french which doesn't help! Any ideas how he might have got my email? As I dont give it out much. Is there anything I can do to help stop this email being sent to someone else?
Scam email? Where might it have come from and anything I can do?
These are common scams, we all get them. You have to give them some money up front in good faith to pay for the transfer and taxes. Just spam it, it's easy for them to get our email address.
Reply:It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.
Do not respond to it.
Report it to yahoo, so they are aware.
Forward to spam@yahoo.com or spoof@yahoo.com (If it involves a lot of money)
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure of who sent it, treat ALL others as spam.
Never give your personal information out to anyone, be it E-mail, snail mail, phone calls or at your front door.
Reply:SCAM
They get your email from many sources. There is no way to predict when you get on their list and no way to remove yourself from the list.
Also, spam filters find it difficult to predict these scams without creating false positives for ordinary messages.
I get my revenge using thunderbird to extract the full headers with the message and send that via abuse.net to the domain the scammer asks you to replyto.
Note, the originator is either spoofed = nothing you can do, or a spambot virus = if an educational organisation is implicated, complain to the domain administrator that their network is being abused by an infected computer.

I was scammed by a Nigerian scammer. Does anyone know a good way 2 get him back? I still have his email %26amp; cell?
I answered this a few day ago but will repeat it.
Firstly you can ignore those who say it is not possible, it is but unless you are an expert I would strongly recommend that you don't go there. There are websites such as http://www.scamorama.com and http://www.spamhaus.org which will tell you more about it. There are people who are doing what you suggest but remember this, some spammers, and those who are running lottery scams are quite often organised criminal gangs. Unless you are absolutely sure that you can cover your tracks completely don't mess with them. Leave it to the experts.
Reply:There are two things you can do. First, if you're in the U.S. (or possessions, or, I think, if you're a citizen, wherever you may be), you can - and should - report him to the FBI. There is a link under the Contact Us section at the top left corner of the page at http://www.fbi.gov/ If you're a citizen of another country, check with your national government's crime-fighting department(s).
If you're looking for revenge, try doing a search on "Nigerian scam". There are people who make a hobby out of playing tricks on the scammers. I don't recommend you do this, really, but it's up to you.
I do trust that you've learned your lesson from this. ANY offer that sounds "too good to be true" is - just exactly that. The people who make offers like that are looking for suckers. Don't be one again, okay? :)

Are pay per email sites as roadmails.com that pays 200$ per email a scam?
i found some email sites that say that they pay 200$ per email and thet say that they has a paid certificate. i think that this is a scam as 200$ per email is a large number but i found a lot of referrers for these sites so i want to know whether they are a scam or not?
Are pay per email sites as roadmails.com that pays 200$ per email a scam?
I personally can't say that roadmails is a scam, but the claim is pretty far fetched, and they aren't listed among the legitimate ones that we use.
Out of the hundreds, or perhaps thousands advertisinf or making claims out there, we've only found 25 legitimate ones that really pay as they claim.
If interested, you can check out the link below for the 25 legitimate ones found.
Hope this help you out and what you're really looking for.

Got an email today saying I have a refund due from the irs...is this a scam?
Yes it's a scam. See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,i...
Reply:Yes, it is a scam. They just want to get you personal information.
If you get e-mails like this, e-mail the IRS ask them is this real? If not give them the information sent, so the can try to track down the people who sent it to you.
Reply:The real IRS NEVER EVER sends emails out telling people that they have refunds due. They don't do letters either, as well as phone calls.
These are SCAMS -- delete them, ignore them and do not be curious about them and give them any information
Reply:It's a SCAM! The IRS will NEVER contact you by e-mail. They don't have your e-mail address. Didn't you notice the fact that there is no place to put your e-mail address on your tax return?
Another dead giveaway is that the IRS does NOT copyright ANY of it's publications. Ever!
By the way, spoofing the From: address of an e-mail is childs play. It did not come from the IRS.
Reply:Don't waste your time with this. The IRS would never contact you by email about a tax refund. And they would certainly not use the language employed in the message. It is obvious that the message came from a foreign country, and while the grammar is correct, the choice of terminology is a dead giveaway.

and heres the email it came from.
status@irs.gov
Got an email today saying I have a refund due from the irs...is this a scam?
Yes it's a scam. See http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,i...
Reply:Yes, it is a scam. They just want to get you personal information.
If you get e-mails like this, e-mail the IRS ask them is this real? If not give them the information sent, so the can try to track down the people who sent it to you.
Reply:The real IRS NEVER EVER sends emails out telling people that they have refunds due. They don't do letters either, as well as phone calls.
These are SCAMS -- delete them, ignore them and do not be curious about them and give them any information
Reply:It's a SCAM! The IRS will NEVER contact you by e-mail. They don't have your e-mail address. Didn't you notice the fact that there is no place to put your e-mail address on your tax return?
Another dead giveaway is that the IRS does NOT copyright ANY of it's publications. Ever!
By the way, spoofing the From: address of an e-mail is childs play. It did not come from the IRS.
Reply:Don't waste your time with this. The IRS would never contact you by email about a tax refund. And they would certainly not use the language employed in the message. It is obvious that the message came from a foreign country, and while the grammar is correct, the choice of terminology is a dead giveaway. The link will take you to a site that looks like the IRS site but is actually designed to collect your private information by having you fill out a form.

Is this email a scam or not?
Dear respectful,
My name is Mrs. Kathy Jack Lambert I am a dying woman who have decided
to donate what I have to you/churches in your country. I am 69 years
old and I was diagnosed for cancer about 2 years ago, immediately
after the death of my husband who had left me everything he worked
for.
I have been touched by God to donate from what I have inherited from
my late husband to the you for the good work of God than allow my
relatives to use my husband hard earned funds ungodly. Please pray
that the good Lord forgive me my sins.I have asked God to forgive me
and I believe he has because He is a merciful God.
I will be going in for an operation tomorrow morning. I decided to
WILL/donate the sum of $3,500,000(Three million five hundred thousand
dollars) deposited in a Bank since May 25th 2000 to you for the good
work of the lord, and also to help the motherless and less privilege
and also for the assistance of the widows according to (JAMES 1:27)
Let `s carry ea
Is this email a scam or not?
Yep... scam... surprised Nigeria wasn't mentioned. They ask for your banking information and wipe you out.
(I'd gladly take donations, but I'd probably offer my Paypal account instead... That reminds me, I need to start one of those "Give Sarah money because she doesn't want to work" sites.)
Reply:yes, if it sounds to good to be true it is.
Reply:It's definitely a scam. If you go to www.snopes.com, it separates the true e-mails from the false ones. This one has more info. on snopes at this address: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/nigeri...
Reply:sounds like a scam next they will need ur account number to deposit the funds into
Reply:I would pick a organization that is a Little more comm en then you would no for sure that is allot of cash to just give to the wrong place
Reply:SCAM!!!!
The nerve of these people to use the word of God to rip people off.
Reply:yes, definitely a scam.
They will ask for your contact information and probably your bank account numbers to deposit money to you.
Then they will TAKE money instead.
Reply:Hey Just open a WAMU checking account for $3.00. Immediately withdraw $2.50. And then give them the account info. And see what happens. If account suddenly has millions in it. Close the account and get your money.
Reply:No, it's not a scam. Just send her you bank account info and she'll send you $3.5 million dollars. Gee, you're one lucky SOB.
What, are you an idiot? There's a finance minister in Nigeria that wants to put a couple of million into your account, too. And don't forget about that European lottery you won, even though you never entered one. They'll need your account info to wire you that money. too.
You're a freakin idiot. I hope they take you for every penny you've got.
Reply:Doesn't it sound like a scam?
Reply:The post has not finished the letter here and so, we are missing what is known in these cases as the "hook set" lines
And, I'm sure it is there somewhere in what we're not getting here !!
It will have something to do with the "fees" involved in "transfering" this money into one's account OR the fees that will have to be forwarded for lawyer's fees or some such or similar stuff !!
This garbage is actually older than the internet--- such sucker based "games" have been going on for centuries --- where someone is in trouble that has a lot of money and they are willing to give it to YOU if you'll just pay for this or that little thing !! Trouble is--- you pay anything at all and THEY keep that and YOU never see a dime of anything at all --ever !!!
Reply:I had a very similar email to this not too long ago. It was some doctor that I had never heard of willing me all his money. I don't consider myself a naive person, so I started doing some checking around. Everything that I had checked out about it seemed real. It was based in London and the lawyer's office that this supposedly originated from was a real law firm, there was really a doctor by this name, everything that I could check out was real. I was so excited about it. They asked for my account number for them to "deposit" this money into. If it hadn't been for a friend of mine whose brother is an attorney who decided to check it out for me I probably would have given them my account number. My attorney friend found out that it was indeed a scam. Be very careful, as people who come up with these scams are VERY convincing and can convince even the most careful person. They use real names and places. Please don't fall for it. If you didn't know this person personally I would say it is a scam. People who will large sums of money to people don't usually do it in emails.
Reply:SPAM!!
Reply:I would check Snopes.com, Urban legends, hoaxes, etc. There is a lot of this
going around. A few of us got one and then we found out it was a hoax. No
money involved. People who instigate those kinds of things are after something.
Please don't buy into it as the internet is full of these kinds of things.

Reply:It ceraintainly has all the hallmarks of a scam; email from out of the blue from someone you don't know offering a large sum of money. The message is cut off, but later or in a later email, if you respond there will probably be a request that you deposit money into an account as a good-faith measure that you are worthy to receive the funds. At the very lease, they might ask for your chekcing account information so they can try to assume your identity.

Ebay said they know emails are not safe so they never will send you an email. The rep said the emails look real but they are fake. They are using the logos of Ebay illegally it is a fake email. A scammer is trying to trick you.
Delete any emails you get from "ebay" or "paypal" because they are not real.
Reply:If its an email from Ebay then you will ebay will sent the same email to your account. Log in and check it. If not then report the email to ebay as a scam one.
Reply:First, if it is not directly sent to you with your actual name on it then it is a scam. It is 100% a scam e-mail. Just ignore it %26amp; delete it.
Reply:Yeah sounds like a scam. E-bay would never send an e-mail that says "dear," that's very unprofessional. In any case if this is true it will tell you somewhere when you log into your e-bay account.
Reply:may be but go to ebay itself and sign in, they would send a message to your inbox as well.
Is this email a scam? Says I've won 拢 750,000.00. Is it a scam?
The email from this guy is:
Email whitedonald.claimsdsk@btinternet.com
I think it might be a scam but I'm not for sure, please help
Is this email a scam? Says I've won 拢 750,000.00. Is it a scam?
I have two questions for you:
One - How can you win something you did not enter???
Two - Why did you open an E-mail from a person you do not know??
It is a scam to get your personal information and/or money.
Do not respond to it.
Report it to yahoo, so they are aware.
Forward to spam@yahoo.com or spoof@yahoo.com (If it involves a lot of money)
And for your E-mail safety, remember:
Never open E-mail unless you are absolutely sure of who sent it, treat ALL others as spam.
Never give your personal information out to anyone, be it E-mail, snail mail, phone calls or at your front door.
Reply:Sorry friend but there is no Microsoft, Yahoo or other e-mail lottery, it's a scam do not answer do not give personal information.The following sites give more information

.Also If you go to the following site you will get some info on ID theft www.identity-theft.org.uk the iinternet is safe enough if you are careful but please answer nothing that you are doubtful about.Good Luck and be careful
Reply:It's a scam--and you should go to fbi.gov and report the scammer.
If you know how to get the email FULL HEADER---THAT information should help FBI track down this clown--IF he's in the U.S. If he's overseas, the FBI can transfer their information to INTERPOL--and let them deal with the scumbag.
If you receive any more bogus lottery emails, simply check them off to Yahoo as SPAM. If you receive those stupid chain e-mails from trusted friends, simply delete them---they're used by SPAMMERS to snag active email addresses.
Reply:Have you signed up for any contests/lotteries recently? If no, then 100% scam. If yes, then 99% scam. Do not give them any money, regardless of whatever "transferring fees" they require.
Reply:There scams, I get them all the time-just hit spam when they come in.

How do Nigerian women get my email address from the Personals and is it a scam?
They want me to send $750.00 for her to come to MN. I have talked to the travel agency several times. Global Atlantic Travel Agency by phone. I have everything that was sent to me from the women and the travel agency. Will you tell me if you have heard of this before? Travel Agency phone no: 011-23480-664-26-697. Email:gata02@mail.com. Please do not use my name.
How do Nigerian women get my email address from the Personals and is it a scam?
It's definately a scam. It's probably not even a woman that you're corresponding with. They just send you a picture of a pretty woman. When they get all the money out of you that they can get, you won't hear from them again.
Reply:Same thing has happened to me. I try blocking their IM's with spamguard but that only works for a day. Next day they are IMing me again. Not sure how they do this. Its with the same yahoo ID.... can anyone help me on that? Report Abuse
Reply:Yes it's a scam. One of the oldest. Don't respond to these emails and absolutely don't send any money.
Reply:dude, dont do it.
Nigerian fraud emails are notorious for ripping people off.
Reply:You are being SCAMMED. Thousands of these scams are out there and most of them come from Nigeria. Do NOT give them any money or any of your personal information. Delete any further emails you get from them - without opening them. Everytime you open one of their emails, they can gain access to information about you. Don't call them anymore. If you continue with this, they will eventually get access to your bank, your credit card info and your social security number.
Do yourself a favor and go to Google.... Enter "current scams" or "Nigerian scams" and you will see what these people do.

Avoiding Spam
Spam is any message or posting, regardless of its content, that is sent to multiple recipients who have not specifically requested the message.
Web sites that are less reputable or that have privacy policies that are less strict may sell your email address to spammers. Just as some merchants send junk mail to your house, spammers send unsolicited email with the hope that you will buy their products or services. Since it is very inexpensive to send an email message, spammers can afford to send millions of them, even if only a small number of people respond by purchasing their products. They send their messages from numerous different鈥攁nd often falsified鈥攁ddresses, which makes them hard to track.
Here are some things that you can do to help reduce the amount of spam that comes to your Yahoo! Mail account:
Never respond to unsolicited email. One response or "hit" from thousands of emails is enough for spammers to justify the practice. In addition, a response lets the spammer know that your email address is active, which makes it more valuable and opens the door to more spam.
Never send your personal information (credit card numbers, passwords, etc.) in an email. Spammers can fake the format of Yahoo! and other trusted sites. Yahoo! will never ask you to send your password or credit card information by email.
Never follow a spam email鈥檚 instructions to reply with the word "remove" or "unsubscribe" in the subject line or body of the message unless you trust the source. This is often a ploy to get you to react to the email, which lets the spammer know that your email address is valid.
Never click on a URL or web address listed within a spam email, even if the message tells you that鈥檚 how you unsubscribe. This also alerts the sender that your email address is active and can result in more spam.
Never sign up with sites that promise to remove your name from spam lists. Although some of these sites may be legitimate, most are actually address collectors. If a collector records your address, they will value it more highly because it is active.
Never open an unsolicited email unless you have blocked HTML graphics. Blocking graphics prevents spammers from being alerted when you open the message.
Reply:Forget Yahoo, I believe there are some FBI groups interested in THIS level of fraud.
Reply:check out http://scamsbeware.com - consumer resource center. all kinds of scam info there, there's also a forum where u can keep up to date on current and future scams.

Has anyone heard of a yahoo lottery scam-email saying you have won 拢1,500,000?
Yes, nearly everyone gets these (most often in their junk mail folder) and thus these punks have a better chance of hooking a sucker. These are all nigeria scams. You can report them to the U.S. Secret Service and you can find their website with a simple Yahoo Search. You really shouldn't count on seeing your money ever again though.
This nonsense has all of the signs of a scam. 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 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. But 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.

I was selling an item on an auction site and the person that won the item sent me an email that the item was for someone in Nigeria and that I should send it inmediately because it was for a birthday gift. and then i pass her the invoice with the shipping charges and all....should I be worried? Is this one of those Nigeria Email Scams?

Scam email?
Everyday I get email from around the world from ***@yahoo.com/**. They are offering me millions of dollar, pound, gold, stock and God know what what else. Oh yes, I have won a lottery in some country. The email is come through yahoo.com. Isn't there some way that you can monitor these scams?

Scam email?
Just because the return address shows xxx@yahoo.com does not mean that it came from there. You can go to your mail program and put any return address you wish and many people do use phony ones especially when posting to newsgroups.
I noticed that you posted your real address in your question. You should never do that because there are robot programs searching the web for addresses.
Reply:I've made millions replying to these people, it's all true..
Reply:If you have to ask, YES!!!!!
If they say anything about making MONEY--YES!!!!
Please disconnect your internet for your own protection. It is about half scams and if you are going to ask questions like this it really isn't safe for you to be here. Email, if you don't know the person is a scam. No if, ands or buts... It is a SCAM.
Or you could just save the step and send me your money right now.
Reply:forward the messages to abuse@yahoo.com. Be sure to include all of the message headers so Yahoo! can determine if the account is being spoofed or not.
Reply:There are hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands or tens of thousands of these things. You could never possibly monitor them all. All you need to do is to recognize them for what they are.
If you have the time or inclination to play with them and any of them wants to send you a check or money order by fedEx, then make sure you get them to do that. It costs them money every time they FedEx a letter someplace (about $49 from Nigeria to the US) so the more often they get scammed this way the better.
Reply:basically don't open jack. Remember the saying. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probubly is. Besides how are you going to be winning all of these things if you ahve not even entered yourself into anything LOL And just be careful this is how alot of foolish people get identitiy theft. The nice thing about yahoo tho, is that it does scann all of it's incoming and out going mail. So the possibility of at least getting some sort of virus is very low.

Scam email?
Just because the return address shows xxx@yahoo.com does not mean that it came from there. You can go to your mail program and put any return address you wish and many people do use phony ones especially when posting to newsgroups.
I noticed that you posted your real address in your question. You should never do that because there are robot programs searching the web for addresses.
Reply:I've made millions replying to these people, it's all true..
Reply:If you have to ask, YES!!!!!
If they say anything about making MONEY--YES!!!!
Please disconnect your internet for your own protection. It is about half scams and if you are going to ask questions like this it really isn't safe for you to be here. Email, if you don't know the person is a scam. No if, ands or buts... It is a SCAM.
Or you could just save the step and send me your money right now.
Reply:forward the messages to abuse@yahoo.com. Be sure to include all of the message headers so Yahoo! can determine if the account is being spoofed or not.
Reply:There are hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands or tens of thousands of these things. You could never possibly monitor them all. All you need to do is to recognize them for what they are.
If you have the time or inclination to play with them and any of them wants to send you a check or money order by fedEx, then make sure you get them to do that. It costs them money every time they FedEx a letter someplace (about $49 from Nigeria to the US) so the more often they get scammed this way the better.
Reply:basically don't open jack. Remember the saying. If it sounds too good to be true, then it probubly is. Besides how are you going to be winning all of these things if you ahve not even entered yourself into anything LOL And just be careful this is how alot of foolish people get identitiy theft. The nice thing about yahoo tho, is that it does scann all of it's incoming and out going mail. So the possibility of at least getting some sort of virus is very low. But yea just delete that crap if you don't know who it is. =)

How do these scam people get our email address?
I keep receiving these stupid scam emails offering lotto and money. I am annoyed with them, and my question is "how do they get our email adress?"
How do these scam people get our email address?
I agree, spam is stupid and so annoying..
It is quite possible that filling on-line surveys with your email address allows a spammer to tap into a huge data bank of people in many regions at any time. I think the trick is to: Have two email addresses;
Number 1 Email Account: A Yahoo one for pure spam (used for online surveys, sign up's, download sites, "they are your enemies who you wouldn't trust $10 with" )
Number 2 Email Account: Another one for business and personal use (eg the one that you give to your bank or telephone company, insurance, friends "you would trust these people with $10 of your money to pay you back later" )
Note: I pulled $10 out of the air. Basically you don't trust the Yahoo email address contacts and dont care what happens to the emails.. If we all used this little trick, spam might not be such a huge problem!
Reply:from places that we sign up for who put our email addresses on a list, or from filling out different surveys, and from other emails that are forwarded, or that we forward. It aggravates me, they used to be confined to my bulk folder, but now alot of them are getting into my regular email for some reason.
Reply:I don't know but I wish it would stop.
Reply:It really is an irritating problem. My best guess is that they buy a list from someone else. I probably get over 100 per day. Sometimes more.
Reply:Some emails they harvest from lists or websites (if it's posted), other times its what is known as "dictionary attack", where they'll send multiple emails out using godonlyknows how many combinations of letters and numbers in order to get a "hit".
The viagra spammers and hot stock tip spammers use this too.
Reply:when you answer a survey or apply to something free every that glitters aint gold keep that in mind the next time

I worked at Citibank for 6 months, and we got calls all the time from people who got these types of e-mails - some having accounts, other's not.
The "phishers" send out a 100 million e-mails, using some large financial institution as the "hook," and hope there are enough stupid people with accounts at that institution to make it profitable for them.

Paypal scam email...?
I received a 'payment confirmation' email that was from
"service@ paypal.com"
Notice the space after the "@".
Anyway, it was regarding an item I had sold on craigslist and asked that I ship the item and confirm the shipping number before the payment would be released to my account. I checked my paypal account and there were no records of any payment that was being withheld until shipping info was confirmed.
Anyone have any ideas if this is real or fake?

Has anyone been scammed or received money from the following email addresses?
I am on this forum everyday warning people about the loan scams.Firstly, if the loan company uses a yahoo address they are not genuine.Real companies have their own website and offices and , as far as I am aware,you cannot do a full application online.
These scammers either steal your identity or ask for a fee upfront and you will never see the loan.
Reply:why would they promise loans - did you meet the person and actually sign any loan paperwork? What kind of collateral did you put up for the loan? Did you send them any money? - If you sent money, it's not a loan and you'll never hear from them again
Reply:They prey on unethical people that try to collect money that doesn't belong to them. They steal your personal information kinda like the Nigerian schemes except you live.

Did I receive a scam email?
I received an email sent from the Global-work_at_home moderator with an invitation from ss35ws@yahoo.com inviting me to join the Global-work_at_home group (a supposed Yahoo Groups group)and stating the invitation would expire in 30 days. In the email there was a link to click , http://shmyl.com/ymkosen, which took me to a "dataentrybusiness.com" for $49.99. I read through the entire ad and came back to the original email which had a button to click on the bottom "Click here to Join". I clicked that button to find out that Yahoo Groups does not have a Global-work_at_home group. Has anyone else gotten an email similar to this one and was this a scam letter?
Did I receive a scam email?
This was a scam letter. You can go to the yahoo groups icon and click on it. Once the groups area opens you can search for active groups by name. If you find the one your email reference then it is a yahoo group. If not its a scam all the way.
Reply:SCAM-Any business that asks you for $49.99 to 'work' there, save your money for resume paper.
Reply:Definitely a SCAM! Anything that asks for money up-front is a SCAM. Yahoo does NOT advertise for"homeworkers" or any "Work at home" scams, and they NEVER ask for money to join or participate in ANYTHING. As of late, I have gotten a LOT of these SCAM e-mails from: who knows? Usually unpronounceable; SUBJECT: "Your funds are ready to be transferred" or, "Confirmation for disbursement of your funds", or the 'ever-famous' "You've been chosen in the Yahoo! overseas lottery. . ... ." I simply hit the SPAM button on ALL of these---YOU should do the same!
Reply:it's probably an actual group, and you were sent an invite to it. some of these at home things are legit, some are not.
it seems more that they're trying to gain more members and some how got your address.
any at home site can be researched, contact the Better Business Bureau
Reply:There are many genuine "Work from Home" schemes, but I've yet to see one that sends out Unsolicited E-mail.
*****Scam indicators? *****
They will ask for money up front
They promise large sums of money for performing simple tasks
They use a post office box address or a mobile phone number so you never meet them and cannot find them once you realise it is a scam
The advertisements will not state clearly what is involved.
*****How to protect yourself****
Don't pay any money up front - geniune employers will not ask you to pay money before you start working
Stop, think and be sceptical. Ask yourself these simple questions:
Does it sound too good to be true?
Is there actually an offer of work or just an offer to tell you more about finding work?
Does it claim to be a big money opportunity?
Does the work sound too easy?
Be wary of offers to buy back the goods you have made, as the conditions attached may be impossible to fulfill
Find out more about the company you want to work for - if it is legitimate it should be happy to provide you with information for free
Reply:no,,,but it have the heavy smell of a scam. i would't subscribe to anything that comes by e-mail,,,,hell i wont open any e-mail from people i dont know. why take the risk??

The advertisements will not state clearly what is involved.
*****How to protect yourself****
Don't pay any money up front - geniune employers will not ask you to pay money before you start working
Stop, think and be sceptical. Ask yourself these simple questions:
Does it sound too good to be true?
Is there actually an offer of work or just an offer to tell you more about finding work?
Does it claim to be a big money opportunity?
Does the work sound too easy?
Be wary of offers to buy back the goods you have made, as the conditions attached may be impossible to fulfill
Find out more about the company you want to work for - if it is legitimate it should be happy to provide you with information for free

How can I verify that a email received from Yahoo is not a scam about a lottery I supposedly won?
The email said that my email add had been selected by Yahoo Beta Mail to win 1 million USD and to send my information to a RevDrugopeters@myway.com (phone +2348051088654.I want to know if this is true. I've already been a victim of an email scam for the UK. If this is true, why can't this prize be claimed here in the USA instead of in foreign countries?

^^ email about buying a dog?
Do you think this email is a scam?
Yes it is a scam. Report it to the FBI email fraud unit dudes. Do not give this guy money and do NOT listen to those who say it may be legitimate and to communicate further with them. It is a scam period.
mastiffs360.com
Reply:Don't do it.
3 things- No information on owner (Name, address, etc.)
Free puppy
Western Union
Just for kicks I also googled Luchanda Airlines and came up with nothing.
Reply:If this was genuine, why does this person not first send the puppy and then ask you to reimburse the money. It sounds like a scam. If she really loved animals, then she would insist that you come personally to fetch the animal. A dog is a living being and not a inanimate parcel. I would stay away from this deal.
Reply:This is definitely a scam.
First you should never send money to anyone you don't know Western Union.
Second the cost for shipping overseas is much more and why would he come to the USA without the dog and advertise her.
My sister also contacted this person she asked for pictures to prove there was a puppy showing the date.
All kind of excuses were made why it couldn't be done.
I guarantee this is a scam and should be reported to the proper authority
Reply:Yes it is. You will never see this dog!
Reply:This is definately a scam.This type of scam is all over the net and different sites warn of potiential scammers using this method.If you ever find a pet offered free of charge,please be warned,as I've never heard of this airline.
Reply:I do not suggest doing that. If they try getting money out of you then its probably a scam. Follow your instincts, they're vital.
Reply:Chances are, it is. And you'll be out $200.
It just sounds shady, that she's in the US for a dog show, but doesn't have enough time to own a dog.
Reply:Scam, run away.
Reply:i wouldn't trust it.
Reply:I would not do that, I don't trust it.
Reply:Yes indeed its a scam, you never send money to an unsolicited person, by Western Union, you have no recourse if they are scammers. I have never heard of the airline either, better delete and block that scammer from further emails to you. To buy a dog, takes time, and you need to know the breeder.

Did anyone else get the message asking to verify yahoo email and password or it will be deleted? scam or not?
I was sent a message from yahoo services stating that they were updating their information for users of the yahoo free email and are trying to delete all unused accounts. The message asked to provide the account name and password otherwise the account would be deleted in 2 weeks. I do not know if I should respond because it may be a scam for someone to get my email address and password. Does anyone know if it is really from Yahoo or not?
Did anyone else get the message asking to verify yahoo email and password or it will be deleted? scam or not?
Scam. Yahoo! would never request personal information in an unsolicited email.
"Phishing" for your private information These deceptive emails are used to commit identity theft, charge your credit card,and lock you out of your online account by changing your password DO NOT respond.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/securit...
You can report this with the abuse form below.
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/securit...
Reply:1. No I haven't.
2. That's a phishing email. Whatever you do, don't reply to the message and give the phishers your personal information. Doing so will cause the phishers to quickly change the password, denying you access to your own account. Many people lose their Y! accounts by falling for this trick, so don't be the next one to lose yours in that manner.
You need to remember Y! doesn't ever send you an email to verify your account information, as the company already has that stored in its well-secured servers.
Send the message to the following addresses:
phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com
mail-spoof@cc.yahoo-inc.com
Then turn around and spam that fraud message spammed straight into oblivion right away.
By doing as I instructed, you will have kept your Y! account free from the phishers' hands.
Reply:if it's an unused account, then you would never have seen that email [you had to login on that account name in order to see the email]. that tells me it's a phishing thing. i'd hit the "this is spam" button and move on with your life.
if it really WAS yahoo sending the email, they should get a good laugh.
Reply:Sounds like a classic scam. I haven't received any such email on my account. If you are concerned, try contacting yahoo directly (not using the provided link in the email) and asking. If it is a scam, they would probably appreciate the report.
Reply:I think that it is a scam. I have never heard of Yahoo doing that before. I would not reply either because if it is a scam, someone is probably trying to steal your account or something.
Reply:I sent a copy of that email to abuse@yahoo.com and they emailed me back and said they are in no way associated with that email and to NOT reply back with your information

There should be a Botton in email section, called "SCAM"?
I get many e-mails Claiming I have won money from these forign countries.And so called For Employment, any way that Yahoo can screen these out of e-mails Or put a botton in e-mail part "SCAMS"
There should be a Botton in email section, called "SCAM"?
Scams are spam. I NEVER open ones I am not sure of. Those "URGENT" one's I send straight to spam. I rarely get them.
When you open a e-mail like that, It tells the sender it is a valid e-mail address so they send you more.
Try to just delete them by hitting the spam button and see if they won't slack off.
There is a website I believe it is fakecheck.org you might want to check it out. I just love the commercials they have of a live person asking you to do the same thing in person!! LOL You would never do it in person, why would you online??
Reply:Why? You already have the one button you need, and apparently aren't using - the one marked SPAM. If you didn't open and read this crap you wouldn't be worrying about scams - you'd be blocking the sender's address, instead you are sending them yours every time you open spam.

How do i block a scam email?
If you use a popular free email service (gmail, hotmail, etc) then there will be a report as spam button. This will block further emails from that address, as well as help to block emails for everyone else using your provider.
How do i block a scam email?
if it has gone into bulk you need to transfer it into your inbox by clicking on move then click on inbox, go to your inbox tick the little box next to the email and click on spam, this will automatically add it to your blocked addresses.
Reply:If you use Yahoo Mail then just click spam at the top of the page. It will immediately go into your trash.
Reply:You don't say what ISP.
Some ISPs have a standard folder called "Spam". Moving email to this will alert them, and then they can do what they want to stop it and further similar others, as well as others from that address getting into their system
But you should NEVER reply to a scam - it just tells them that your addy is active, and then you may get more, or even find that they start using your addy as a 'spoof' - i.e. as a fake sending address.
In Australia we have a web page at ACMA that welcomes you to forward it on, so they can trap nasty people or criminals running scams. They also supposedly spread the word about genuine scams to others interested too.

Nigerian scam email....?
how can i get a nigerian scam email? just for fun
Nigerian scam email....?
I guess you just got to be lucky. I get one about once or twice a year.
Well my spam filter takes most of them away probably
Start throwing your email address around a lot, sign up for newsletters etc.. your spam will skyrocket and you will probably get some Nigerian king offering you millions if you do him a solid this one time
Reply:dude u do realize that u will either get scammed or go 2 jail
Reply:It's called scambaiting.
"So what is scambaiting? Well, put simply, you enter into a dialogue with scammers, simply to waste their time and resources. Whilst you are doing this, you will be helping to keep the scammers away from real potential victims and screwing around with the minds of deserving thieves."
"It doesn't matter if you are new to this sport or a hardened veteran; if you are wasting the time of a scammer, or frustrating them in any way well that's good enough for us, and we would welcome you to join with our now very large community."
