This person wants to put this 40% in my account. This is a scam and I'd like to forward this to the proper people to investigate this. Who would I contact? Would yahoo be on of the people to start with?

Let me guess.............\n\nYou received an email asking you to help them out by opening an account for them to transfer a large sum of money into, whereas you would receive a percentage.\n\nDon't be taken in by their scheme.

Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. A scam that is.\n\nBut you don´t give enough information to say anything more.\nBe sure to research them thoroughly before putting money into it.\n\nAnd by seriously I don´t mean Yahoo Answers.

Definite scam. Forward it to abuse@yahoo.com and delete it!

This is a scam most likely originating in a foreign country. DO NOT reply to the email and DO NOT send them any money. A lot of these scams say you've won X amount of dollars in a foreign lottery, but require you to pay a small fee to secure the winnings. People pay the money and the crooks make off with their money. I would alert Yahoo about this.

Why should I wish to help someone who acknowledges he would not mind practicing a scam?  After all, that would make me an accomplice.  When you get your priorities straight, and want help to do something legitimate, write us another question.

If they sent you an email out of the blue, it's a scam. It's very easy for a scammer to duplicate or forge company logos so you should not trust that! A good rule of thumb for any email offers you get, especially lotteries and anything that promises you money, is if you did not ask for the offer, it's junk.

Sam C above is a spammer. Every answer he gives is identical and aimed at getting people to go to this website to make extra money. Sounds like a scam. Look at the rest of his answers in his profile. \n\n\nBeware!

It is a form of the "nigerian bank scam" and they are just trying to get information from you so the can steal money from you.  I get dozens of these emails per month.\n\nI would forward to email to the abuse department of the internet provider where the email originated.  Beyond that, there really isn't much else you can do besides ignore it.

I presume you received an E-mail from  "Barrister Paul Howard" informing you that an unknown relative of yours died, and you may subsequently inherit $6,000,000. Does this sound too good to be true ? Well it is !! I received a similar E-mail, and probably thousands of other people got that message as well. This is almost certainly an attempt at internet fraud, and it is probably a variation of the very successful Nigerian 419 scam, i.e. "We will send you six million dollars, but first you need to send us a few thousand dollars for taxes and attorney's fees." YEAH SURE !! The scam may also be an attempt at phishing.\n  \n  It is no easy matter to understand how anybody falls for this scam, but people do. Did you notice that the E-mail was not originating from Switzerland but India !? Did you also notice the composition had a curious grammar that no real lawyer would ever use. \n\n   What infuriates me is that some victims of scam artists are people who are elderly and who for medical reasons have lost their judgement, in many cases due to stroke or Alzheimer's disease. If you ever saw a loved one suffer such disabilities, it is sickening to know that there are immoral people out in this world who would deliberately defraud them. For this reason I suggest you file a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center: www.ic3.gov. \n\n Sincerely,\nRichard

It's a scam to get your personal information from you.  If you respond, there will start asking for your bank account information, etc.  They might ask for a "processing fee" to get the money to you.  It is a total scam.  Thing about it for a minute:  did you enter any foreign lotteries?  Probably not.  I get about about a dozen of these emails per week and they all go into my spam folder.

Thats almost certainly a scam. Its a common scam where people say "oh your reletive has left you lots of money, please send some money to cover xyz costs or give us your bank details"\n\nNever give out your personal details from unsolicited emails like that. Just delete it.

DO NOT SEND MONEY!  You are most likely on the brink of being ripped off.  If this was ligit the person would/should prefer a money order (or check since there is plenty of time for it to clear).  Take the advice of a previous answer and pick a place when you can do a walk through.

Hi, from what I've been reading .. it doesn't look good. You can check the links below, but from what I read, if someone has hacked your account and changed the p/w yahoo can't do anything about it .. sorry. Probably the only way would be if someone hacked the hacker.

Contact your local police or if you are in the US, contact the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) but don't get your hopes up--- you fell for a scam and the scammer knows what he/she is doing. It will be very hard to track her down; every account she has provided (Yahoo, Western Union, etc) can be obtained anonymously.
