That was a scam?  \n\nWonder if I can get by old job back.  ;(\n\nI just have to hold on a little while longer.  My friend Abdule is sending me $20,000,000 for helping him out with a money transaction.  Those Nigerian banks sure are slow!

If you got an e-mail from someone claiming to be a barrister or solicitor from the UK who wants to send you money... its a lie.  Delete it.

You are attacked by fraud people.They  stole your identification like name, address,bank account number and more.It may be from lottery company as they pretend or related to property.They ask for Notary fees which they have to pay to authority to transfer the part of money to your account.I received similar mail from Nigeria.They use yahoo id, which does not go to bulk folder usually. So you can report to spam by clicking on'spam' in inbox.

Scam, scam, scam.  I got the same thing.  Look up Lotto scams on the net and look up their name.  You'll see.  Sorry, I know it's a bummer.

When did you enter this Lottery?\nBy responding you have let them know they have an Active E-Mail Account, you may win many Lotteries now.\nWhat you want to do now; You may want to watch for money to disappear from your Bank Account. Keep an eye on your Credit, if you gave them enough information, they can now get a Credit Card in your name. That about all I know you can do now. Good Luck.\nIn the Future never respond to Lotteries you never entered.

Hi I have just received an e-mail today from Scoop Lotto\nstating that an e-mail address drawing was done and that \nI have won a large amount of money. No they did not ask for a bank account I have not answered them yet and I also have been searching for the company My gut feeling is that it is a scam.

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.

ITs a fraud, fraud, fraud..\n\nThe following emails are fraud :\n1. you have won a lottery you never entered.\n2. Asking your help to transfer money locked up in some bank to another bank, using your account as an intermediatary.\n3. that someone has died leaving behind lots of money with no legal claimaint, which you can claim with the sender's help.\n4. that sender has bags full of orginal dollars, which have been spoiled with a dark stain. These stains can be removed by a certain chemical only available with the sender. The sender will sell you the dollars and the special chemical at a very low price. \n\nif you get emails similar to the ones above, 99.9% of the times they will be fraud's. A lot of people have lost huge amounts in such fraud. A majority of these frauds are based in Nigeria.

The email is a Nigerian Scam called a 419. Reply to them and say that you have forwared their message to the US Secret Service and Interpol.  They will eventually try to take money from you by telling you that in order to access your prize you need to send them a couple thousand to unlock it or some crap like that...

The e-mail you received is most likely a scam in which the person who sent you the e-mail is probably trying to get your credit card or bank account information.  I received a similar e-mail recently (but mine wasn't the "Australian lotto", it was some other country).\nA great website where you can check the validity of  e-mails/forwards is http://www.snopes.com\nHere is a link to their page which addresses the specific e-mail you received: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/lottery.asp
