I have just received an e-mail from Yahoo stating that I am one of 5 winners of 5000.00 pounds for the month of August. The form looks genuine, but I don't know very much about computers, so I am wondering if it is indeed genuine. How can I tell?
has happened recently... website? e-mail me at B3652@live.com

You were right to worry. Internet fraud is very common these days.
Unless you participated in some contest by Yahoo, I hardly think Yahoo is giving money to just about anyone. These forms usually promise prizes and eventually ask you for details such as your bank account and credit card number. Be very careful, and do not give anyone your personal details.
Hi,
Currently, there are several versions of fraudulent e-mails being
circulated which purport to be from Yahoo, AOL, Microsoft, BMW... These e-mails advise the
recipient that he or she has won money or a car and requests the
recipient to provide personal data or to pay a fee in order to receive
the prize.
As I well experimented/tested these fraudulent emails I am 100% sure that these e-mails are NOT authentic. The
e-mail have NOT been sent by Yahoo, nor has Yahoo authorized the use of its
name. Please be advised not to provide any personal information or
transfer money to the perpetrators. Any personal information provided to
the perpetrators will likely be used for illegal purposes.
Dont open it. It can be virus. If you have participated then they would have taken your some more information. And they might have contacted through your fone.
Please dont open it it's a virus. It can harm your PC.

Outlook keeps losing connection with server (att.yahoo) I have worked with them on the phone and they have checked settings etc. Maybe a security issue that keeps dumping the server.
