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.
Suggest that a bankers draft be posted to you via yahoo
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.
Open the web browser and navigate to Yahoo Mail.Login to the Yahoo account by providing Yahoo ID/password information.Decide on the account rollback time that should be about 1 hour earlier than the incident time . Example: if a email was deleted from Trash at 5:15 p.m. choose the mailbox reset time for 4:15 p.m.Save, print or forward to another account all messages received after the time selected in the step 3.Open another instance of the web browser and navigate to the Yahoo! Mail Restore Help Form.Under "Mailbox recovery information" select Month, date and time (15-minute increments) chosen in the step 3. Make sure to fill out the time zone field and specify an alternative email account to receive a confirmation email.Click "Submit" on the bottom of the pageContinue monitoring the mailbox and keep backing up all incoming messages (see step 4)The confirmation email from Yahoo mail customer care usually arrives in 6 to 8 hours and the mailbox should be restored as it was on or around the time entered in the step 6.

I have twice received mails from UK National Lotteries stating I have won a prize of 500,000 UK Pounds.
I receive those kinds of emails from time to time. I always assume they are fraud.
