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: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.
