The 2017 Yahoo Email Lottery Scams

If you have received the fraudulent e-mail below or others like it, which claims that you are a winner in the 2017 Yahoo Email lottery draws, please do not follow the instructions in it. This is because the email is a lottery scam. There is no Yahoo Email lottery and the fake email message is being sent by cyber-criminals/scammers, and not by Yahoo! Yahoo will never ask their users to send their personal information via an email message. And, sending your personal information to those cyber-criminals will only help them rip you off. Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending their personal information and money.

For online users who have already been tricked by the fraudulent e-mail, please be careful next time. This is because the cyber-criminals/scammers will contact those online users, using the information they have submitted, in an attempt to scam them.

The "2017 Yahoo Email" Lottery Scams
an anonymous user from: Lagos, Nigeria

I received a message from PCH lotto claiming my email won $615,000. I supplied my address to lure them. They requested I pay $290.10 Mailing Freight cost; $10 Fuel surcharge, $310.98 Insurance and $84.80 Vat.

I went on a search to see if this company is true. The charges were not that high but what baffles me is that I should still call them when I receive the parcel for them to give me access. I knew it was SCAM and I blocked them off.
