Report them to Yahoo asap.  \n\nAlso, I have been scammed too.  I am doing my best to stop these crooks from ever scamming again.\nI know they have scammed before, because they said so.\nI am helping other people along the way. I wish to know if these are the same people.  If you do not mind sharing the email address, please send it to me at sqldba_needinglegalhelpasap @yahoo .com\n\nI have also listed the yahoo mail abuse help link below.\nMail abuse is listed at the bottom of the page.

I wouldn't count on getting that information from Yahoo, even though the person involved did rip you off it's a privacy matter.  You might want to contact your local police station to see if they have an internet fraud division.  Problem is, a lot of these scammers are overseas where the police can't touch them.\n\nThere is a very good chance you'll never see your money again.\n\nIn the future, if you receive an eBay related email to your email account, check your ebay messages on your My Ebay page.  If the email does not appear there, it's most likely a scammer email.

If it's a Yahoo account, just email it to spoof@yahoo.com.

Forward it to abuse@yahoo.com  You'll first get an automated reply. Then, if it's about another yahoo user, they'll tell you action has been taken.

If the email is someone trying to tell you to help them with some bank deal and you'll make a lot of money, just mark it as spam.  A complete scam and I can't imagine that anyone would read it and think "oh, this sounds like a good idea, let me provide them with my bank account"

You say they found you by looking up "honest people" - now, do you really believe there is such a listing or registry of 'honest people' that is being kept somewhere?  \n\nSorry to say but it really does sound like a common line from a fraud/spam - it (badly) explains how they got your address, and provides the hook to get you interested.\n\nIf you pursue this, you will eventually be asked to provide upfront funding or your personal banking information.  \n\nI would recommend rather that you submit the email to the FBI - they have extensive information on such frauds becuase they are so very common.

This is highly likely a sting operation. They are conducting them in many chat rooms now days. But, just in case, contact your State Police. They can find out who it is.

Not everyone's address will be found doing it that way.  Most non-published numbers are hard to find.  The only sure fire way to get that information would be searching for the person on a pay people search site (like us search and peoplefinders.com).\n\n\n*** the person below me said to try anywho.com reverse lookup and usually that is a good place to try but if the person has an unlisted phone number, even if you type in their phone number their address will not show up.

It's a scam. \n\nThey want two things from you - \n1. Your ID details so they can impersonate you; and/or\n2. Your money\n\nBasically they will either ask for your details (including bank account details) so they can transfer the money to you - and of course what they will actually do is steal money out of your account\n\nAND/OR\n\nThey will ask you to send them money for such things as "registration fees" or "money transfer fees" etc etc.\n\nRemember:-\n\nNO-ONE EVER WON A LOTTERY THEY DIDN'T ENTER!\n\nThere is no money. You haven't won anything!\n\nWHAT TO DO:-\n1. The simplest of all - DELETE it. Never reply, even to say "ha ha I know you're trying to scam me" This just confirms that you have a functioning email address and the scammer will then try to sell it on to someone else - and what you will get is more scammer emails!\n\n2. If the email comes from an email provider that you recognise and trust, like Yahoo, Hotmail, Netscape etc then forward the message headers to the email provider with a note of the complaint. [The message source maybe faked but often a contact email address is quoted in the message the scammer actually writes to you.]\nTo do this on Outlook Express:-\nRight click the message and select Properties\nClick on the Details tab\nClick on Message Source\nRight click the mass of code you see and click Select All to highlight the entire message\nRight click again and click Copy\nPaste into your message to Yahoo, Hotmail or whoever\n\nThe address to email this to is "abuse@(the email provider) eg. abuse@yahoo.com

Here are some signs someone is conning you:\n\n1. They are offering you a ridiculously large sum of money: if someone would offer you a large sum, why over e-mail?\n\n2. They are asking for your bank account number. If anyone wishes to transfer money to your account, they wouldn't ask for your bank account number in such an unstable medium such as e-mail.\n\n3.  You don't know them and they are giving you money. Would you give money to strangers over e-mail?\n\n4. They are asking for a small payment in return for a larger one. This is common in scholarship scams.\n\n5. You don't know them and you have no real ties to them, yet they want to make business with you (for example: you're an engineer, they are supposedly in real estate.)\n\n6. Any e-mail asking on a first-message basis for any sort of donation or personal info is most likely a hoax for your money.\nHope these helped!

Check all your credit cards and your accounts.  Check your credit rating.  Advise your bank about what is happening.  Respond to all these offers by letting them know that there is no such person at this address and that someone is using your address without your permission.

No! Yahoo will or any legitimate organization will never ask you for a credit card number unless you are making a purchase.  \n\nReport it by forwarding it to abuse@yahoo.com.\n\nYou can also help prevent spam/skam by forwarding it to phishing reporting, reportphishing@antiphishing.org\n\n(should be .org -can't get it to come up right)\n\n-and to Government SpamReporting, spam@uce.gov.

You can always try looking up the e-mail adress in a web search engine. In older public forums the address was shown in clear text.\n\nQuite often the domain (the stuff behind the @ sign) can give hints about the sender, or the user handle before. Yahoo addresses may have a public profile which sometimes give you hints or information.\n\nIn the age of spam, more often than not the sender address is faked, though. In that case you couldn't even reply.\n\nAlternatively, you can use a second, free e-mail account to reply to the sender without revealing your identity. But then the original sender will be in the same situation you are in now...

find out the person's Yahoo name... somehow.\nmost people use their Yahoo ID for this, but some don't.
