I just wonder why people would believe these scams. Is there not enough education in school or what? On the other hand, are there laws out there that can get these scammers prosecuted?

Erik | July 15th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

heres an idea! make ALL yahoo.uk emails verify they are not spam if they are sending email to the USA. its a start, and it will let all non-americans know that WE americans do not like spam!!!

It is also important that I inform you that there was no sales of tickets as the draws was conducted by assigning various Individual email addresses to different ticket numbers for representation and privacy. Please note that this email addresses is normally supplied to us by free email and Organisation services providers .

In line with this, your e-mail address attached to ticket number 883734657492-5319 with serial number 7263-267, batch number 8254297137 which drew lucky numbers 14-22-28-37-40-44 which consequently won in the 1st category.

However, we clearly spelt out in our lottery terms and condition various modalities which those who emerged lucky winners are to use in collecting their prize money.

Please note that for this option, delivery cannot be carried out to P.O. BOXES.

However for the Courier delivery option which is for winners who do not reside close to London i.e. United Kingdom, you will be required to contact a courier company who will then ship your cheques or transfer their winning prize to them in their respective countries while they in turn pay the delivery expenses and proceed with the cheque to any bank in their country where the full value to the cheque will be paid to them.

Therefore, because you are not residing close to the United Kingdom, we have have forwarded your winning cheque and Certificate to the courier company who will be delivering it safely to you in your country.

In line with this, you are advised to contact the courier company for the cost of delivering your winning cheque of 500,000.00 safely to you in your country for cashing.

Attached to this mail is a copy of your winning certificate. I had to take out time to know how we can assist you in the proposal you made as regards collecting your winnings. I am sorry to state here that we do not hold winners fund and release or send the money parcially becuase it is not in cash.

The only way you can have your payment in bits is by you opening or activating an account with one of our affilliate banks. hence you can on your own transfer the funds at your convenience. To activate an account, you have two options.
1 is you can have our staff activate on your behalf or you can contact the bank yourself. I will advice you to activate a premium account as the sum you won is large. To do this will cost you just 5,000 pounds though there are other accounts that are cheaper to activate.

Please do get back to me on what you intend to do on this matter.

With Regards,
Edgar Walters (Fiduciary Agent)

Hello

I was rather surprised when I first realised that both my name and that of the franchise I own in Manchester, England, were being used in scam emails. Fastway Couriers (Greater Manchester) is working to ensure that any replies to us in response to these fake emails are answered promptly with full denials of our involvment.

Note. It’s important that you keep your winnings very confidential as we have received several bogus emails from person using winner’s identity to press for claims. We have paid several imposter’s who successfully represent themselves as winners probably because they got into winners identity. It’s important you heed to this advice.

I sent an email to the courier delivery company and said I would provide all the information and details in person for £400.00 cheque and not through an email or fax as requested . Obviously I am not going to hear from them, but the debt my ex left me in I dont really mind if they clone me , because the clone can have the debt too …… ..
If by any chance they contact me back I will keep you informed.. DUH

I am another who is also glad I found this site. Thank you, how can people do this to others, it is very disapointing. I got very excited thinking there may of been a slight chance it was true, and that just incase I should try to at least find out if there is a Yahoo lottery. It is such a shame these individuals prey on people that could really benefit from winning even a small amount of cash. I have had a really bad couple of years and I am glad that by reading your comments I did not make my life any worse. I hope you can stop these people one day.

@aneesh and @kalpana sengar – As the post explains, emails like this are a scam. There is no Yahoo! lottery. Feel free to forward the email to mail-spoof @ cc.yahoo-inc.com. You must include the full header or we won’t be able to research the sender. More on how to do that here.

With reference to your mail and from the directive of Mr GILLMAN ANTHONY,the FOREIGN SERVICE MANAGER,EURO AFRO-ASIAN YAHOO/MICROSOFT CORPORATION WORLD LOTTERY.

We have ascertained and verified the validity of your winning from our headquarter, UNITED KINGDOM, but you need to get a legal clearance from the Home office in London,United Kingdom to a sworn affidavit on your behalf for the notarization of your cheque.

As a result of this, you will be required to make a payment of (700GBP)SEVEN HUNDRED BRITISH POUNDS STERLING , to notarize your lotto prize cheque in the Magistrate court of Justice, this is in compliance to the UNITED NATIONS COUNTER TERRORISM/ANTI TERRORISM ACT ADOPTING RESOLUTION 1373 UNDER CHAPTER V11 OF THE UNITED NATIONS CHARTER.

The notorized document and the receipt of payment will be released and issued in your name from the megistrate court of justice to our office subject upon confirmation of this payment which is payable to the magistrate court of justice through our legal department so that we can as well send your cheque to your designated address.

Please note that the 700 GBP you are required to pay, you are to pay in advance, as the fee is not deductable because what I have with me is your cheque and not cash, most importantly nobody can take any money from your cheque except you because the cheque has been issued and insured in your name with an insurance bond but before you the sole beneficiary can take any money, you must first and foremost register and notarize your cheque, hence you are required to make the payment of 700 GBP.

The notorization document and the receipt of payment will be released and issued in your name from the local court of justice to our office subject upon confirmation of this payment which is payable to the Magistrate court of justice through our legal department so that we can as well send your cheque to your designated address.

The notarization of your cheque is mandatory because it will be attached to your cheque before the courier service company can accept for the postage of your cheque due to the huge amount involved.

It is not the policy of the lotto company to accept fund from any of our winners, but it was resolved after the 9/11th of September, 2001, terorrist attached on world trade centre in the United States of America and the July 7th london bombings in the United Kingdom,Egypt and the more recently bombing around the globe, that to enhance speedy delivering of the won prize cheque to the beneficiary and to duly certify that the fund is not related to as DRUG MONEY,MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORIST SPONSORING FUND, the cheque must be notarized in the Magistrate court of justice here in London for it to be cleared by the courier service, to save time and cost it became imperative to request the notary amount in order to have the prize notarize in court and winners meet the deadline and subsequently post your cheque to your designated address.

You are directed to make this payment of 700 British Pounds in any of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AGENT offices address nearest to you to the Name of the Head Of Legal Department:

NAME:Surname……………. RICHARD

3)AMOUNT SENT———————–700 BRITISH POUNDS
4)MONEY TRANSFER CONTROL NUMBER———THIS IS A TEN DIGIT NUMBERS THAT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU BY THE WESTERN UNION AGENT.

Please note once your cheque is notarized, with the required notary back up document, your US$1M cheque will be delivered to your designated address, it is important that you know that without the notarization done, which requires you making a payment deposit of (700 British Pounds), the courier service company/Bank will not accept your US$1M Cheque for onward delivery of your US$1M to your address.

I received a mail from Yahoo MSN Claims Department on 20-10-07 that Bonus Pack from Yahoo MSN Result Department (YOU HAVE WON 245,000 GB POUNDS and advised to contact agent Mr. Leeton L. Smith vide email leeton22@walla.com. I mailed with application for the claim of fund and Payment Option to to Nationwide Bank PLC vide email Id remmittance_dlaimsdept@financial.com and mailed Identity Proof and Yahoo Award Certificate. But the Nationwide Bank PLC informed by mail on 02-11-2007 that without paying bank charges of 4,750 GBP, they are not in a position to transfer the Prize Money. I strongly believe this is a scam mail and they digest the transfer charges of 4,750 GBP without paying money.

Please try to confirm my opinion by mail.

J.S. Walden | December 6th, 2007 at 7:49 pm

I received one of these recently, claiming that I won 950,000 GBP in some ‘Yahoo Lottery.’ I have sent them personal information of a completely useless variety, mainly in the interest of seeing whether or not this was valid. And I must say, they go out of their way to look legitimate! They used the name and logo of a real UK courier service (Huddersfield Express Courier Service) and gave me the kind of ‘delivery options’ seen in several of the above examples. Had I gone through with it, on the off chance it wasn’t phony, all they would’ve gotten from me is 304.54 GBP (roughly $620 US), and no important numbers. We figured that, if it was a scam, we’d be out $620 bucks and have learned something; if not? Well, that’s obvious. But it just didn’t seem to make much sense as a scam, as they weren’t going for bank account numbers or credit card numbers. They must send these things to a lot of people; otherwise, why go through the trouble for such small pickings? I guess other people go for the more expensive ‘delivery options’. Luckily, we continued with our research before making this mistake, and we came upon this. Thanks.

super | December 7th, 2007 at 7:17 am

Yes. Fake lotteries are the most common type of “419″ scam. Consider the following (if after reading the list below you’re still not sure, try submitting it to the Scam-O-Matic, our Instant Online Fraud Check or visit the fraudwatchers.org forum and ask for help there).

Did you buy a lottery ticket from this company? Did you even hear about them before? If not, it is obviously a fraud. The primary purpose of lotteries is to raise money. Therefore they require people to buy tickets in order to have a chance to win. Lottery companies do not organize “promotional” lotteries, they advertise. A free “promotional” lottery that you only hear about if you win would only promote the lottery to a handful of customers. That doesn’t make any sense.

What information can you find about the company? Perform a Google search for the name of the lottery, the “claims agent” or his/her company. Do the top hits mention “fake”, “fraud”, “scam” or “419″ or are there no matches at all? Also search for the “winning numbers” listed in that email. Do you find several “winning notifications” that look a lot like the one you received? How would that be possible if it was a real lottery where numbers change every week?

In general, lotteries do not use email to notify winners. The normal procedure is for the winner to watch the media for the announced winning numbers and then to present his paper ticket to a lottery sales agent or to the lottery operator itself. Typically winners have six months to a year to come forward.

Was the email addressed to “none”, to multiple recipients or even to the email address of the sender or did it say “Recipient list suppressed”? This indicates that the same email was sent to a large number of recipients. This would be highly unusual for a real lottery win notification.

Does the email tell you to contact a different email address or phone number for claiming your prize? Why would a real lottery do that? If the lottery claims to be based in the UK, the Netherlands or in Spain, does it use .co.uk, .nl or .es email addresses and website names?

Is the contact telephone number a mobile phone or special service number that forwards calls worldwide? This includes any of the following:
UK: +44-70xx (call redirection)
Netherlands: +31-6xx (mobile)
Spain: +34-6xx (mobile)
Belgium: +32-4xx (mobile)
South Africa: +27-7x or +27-8x (mobile)
Nigeria: +234-80x (mobile)

Why would a major company give you a mobile phone as the first point of contact?

Are you being rushed? Is the claims deadline only a few weeks or even days away? Normal lotteries allow several months to a year for prizes to be claimed. In typical scams the claims deadline is only two to six weeks away, just enough time to extract money out of a “winner”.

Does it mention a computer ballot of several tens of thousands of email addresses from America, Europa, Africa, Asia and Australia/New Zealand? There aren’t any legitimate email lotteries of the kind described in such scam emails.

Does the email mention a “Sweepstakes International Program”, an “International Claims Department”, a “Fiduciary Agent” or a “Zonal Coordinator”? These terms are typical of fake lotteries.

Does the email mention a “mix up of some numbers” and a “security protocol”, which requires you to keep all details secret until you’ve received your prize? This is so that other people won’t point out that it’s a fraud.

Are you being asked to pay hundreds of Euros or thousands of Pound before the money can be released? This usually happens after the second or third email you receive. Wake up and smell the rat! Real lotteries don’t charge you for winning, they just write you a check. Any due taxes are either deducted at source or will be paid by you after you receive the money. If you supposedly won a lottery and you’re asked to pay any amount of money towards receiving the prize then it’s a scam and the prize isn’t real.

Real lotteries don’t send notifications by email, which is considered too unreliable to use for important financial information.

please don’t fall in their threat! For More information pls visit

I am wondering if this is for real or a scam to get money from people believing that they have won money by a automatic random computer search . This type of scam should be investigated by the Better Business Bureau. Why do you have to send money if you have pursay won. AMr. David Williams sent me a e-mail stating that I won some money. Is this real or not

Binu | January 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm

Sir,
This is one of the mail which I got on 1/10/2007, informing that I have won a lottery. I was asked to send $750 to claim the prize in the address of Mortgage international, Gana, East Africa.
I didn’t send the money since I felt some ‘fraud’ and when enquired about this at my banks in India they advised me not to send the money. So I escaped from losing money.

I saw Your article regarding this recently, so I am informing about this now inorder to request you to do something inorder to avoid more people getting cheated. Even now some of my friends are getting the same mail in a different manner.

I have other communication mail with that agent and also a copy of his Identity card ( I not sure whether it’s original or not ). If necessary I’ll send them too …..Plz check the forwarded mail.

Hi, folks. Many of you are posting comments with content of the emails you’re receiving for either 1) verification that they’re fraudulent or 2) to report abuse.

Please note: THERE IS NO YAHOO! LOTTERY. Please re-read Ben’s post, which explains that fraudsters are going to great lengths to bilk unsuspecting hopefuls out of personally identifying information. These are ALL FAKE.

Also, to report the fraud, please forward the email to mail-spoof @ cc.yahoo-inc.com. You must include the full header or we won’t be able to research the sender. More on how to do that here.

Thank you!

In line with this, your e-mail address attached to ticket number 883734657492-5319 with serial number 7263-267, batch number 8254297137 which drew lucky numbers 14-22-28-37-40-44 which consequently won in the 1st category.

However, we clearly spelt out in our lottery terms and condition various modalities which those who emerged lucky winners are to use in collecting their prize money.

For the remittance process to be carried out, those who are residing outside the United Kingdom are to use the services of a courier service company whose duty is to deliver their cheques to them in their house address while they are to bear the cost of delivery. Please note that for this option, delivery cannot be carried out to P.O. BOXES.

However for the Courier delivery option which is for winners who do not reside close to London, i.e, United Kingdom, you will be required to contact a courier company who will then ship your cheques or transfer their winning prize to them in their respective countries while they in turn pay the delivery expenses and proceed with the cheque to any bank in their country where the full value to the cheque will be paid to them.

Therefore, because you are not residing close to the United Kingdom, we have have forwarded your winning cheque and Certificate to the courier company who will be delivering it safely to you in your country.

In line with this, you are advised to contact the courier company for the cost of delivering your winning cheque of £500,000.00 safely to you in your country for cashing.

OR better yet what if I went to the address in London and demanded they give me my five hundred thousand pounds…. Oh what to do, who to believe? hell five hundred pounds would set me off well.

People will Never change

Marilyn A. Scott | June 24th, 2008 at 8:05 pm

I received the same e-mails from agbrown21@yahoo.com <trevor10@switched.com infomail 12@yahoo.com This is absolutely an awful feeling that I believed such a crock of crap. Now I have identity protection and I am so distressed about these foney pranksters. Their world must be awful and miserable, and we know they are. I was smileing and now I’m not. Actually it has given me the sickest feeling. It just makes me feel like giving this computer a dump in the trash, and never reading e-mail again.

S. Picious | September 17th, 2008 at 7:55 pm

Do phony blog posts also contain grammatical errors? Even “highly-visible” ones that hyphenate “ly” adverbs when they shouldn’t be?

Nicki Dugan | September 17th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

@S. Picious: Ouch, busted by the grammar police. We should have caught that one! Thanks.

zoheir dehgan | September 30th, 2008 at 11:53 am

ZOHEIR DEHGAN

Nicki Dugan | October 1st, 2008 at 11:19 am

@zoheir dehgan (and all others asking about how to claim their prize): THERE IS NO PRIZE. THERE IS NO YAHOO! LOTTERY. Please read the content in this post. It plainly states that these emails you are receiving are scams. It’s unfortunate but please protect yourselves from these fraudsters. Do not respond or give them any personal information or you will fall victim.

thoms | October 1st, 2008 at 11:33 am

hello
I have receipt an email that i have won yahoo lottery for month of october 18 , 2007. how i to claim my prize?
please reply.
best regards,

vicky | October 21st, 2008 at 11:14 am

Hey thomas, First go through all the above postings and still if you feel to claim that PRIZE, then proceed! GOD save.

vicky | October 21st, 2008 at 11:24 am

I too got same email which “Shorty-DiDi | May 13th, 2008 at 11:42 am ” received. If i have not come through this blog, i could have been into their trap. Yeah, someone in the above postings said it clearly that if Yahoo or MSN are launching this program, then there won’t be fake mail ids and also IMPORTANT POINT is UK phone numbers that start with +44 70xxxx are routing phone numbers. So, it clearly shows that the phone numbers given in their mails are using routing phone numbers to not to reveal their identity.

ALL, PLEASE BE AWARE OF SUCH e-MAILS. DO NOT FALL INTO THEIR TRAP. IF YAHOO/MSN IS CONDUCTING SUCH PROGRAMS, THEN THEY ARE RICH ENOUGH TO SEND US THE PRIZE/CHEQUES TO OUR DESTINATION LOCATIONS ACROSS THE WORLD.
SO BE AWARE!…

Pandi Sadha Sakthi | October 25th, 2008 at 7:53 am

I received an email yesterday saying I won to Yahoo lottery, I know that there are a lot of scams going on right now. If you are going to look on the email it seems like it is true because they have the Yahoo logo so I decided to go to Yahoo website to search for how can I report this kind of scams going on. This is the information that they gave me to whom I can contact my agent to get my prize.

Claims agent name: Mr Andrian Raymond
Claims agent email: andrian_mond@sify.com

The first email that I got is from winning@yahoo-betapromotion.com. I am hoping that Yahoo will resolve this matter as soon as possible to let the yahoo users know that there is a scam like this going on. It would be a good idea if there would be an automated email that will come from Yahoo company itself to send to it’s users saying all about this scams so the users will be informed because I know not all yahoo users would know that this are scams. Thank you so much..

These fraudsters really try their luck! The Nigerian 419 scam is pulled on people right across the world, and it is funny how greedily people react to the possibility of getting real big money for nothing. The fraudsters prey on this very greed, and very effectively too!

Rakhi | June 16th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

These people are really innovative, somebody should get hold of their throats and wriggle them! By God!

linda | June 21st, 2009 at 4:33 am

Dear Sir:

I have got an email on September 05,2009 written that:-

This is to inform you the beneficiary that, your email was among the 2000 Lucky winners who won $ 250,000.00 (TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND UNITED DOLLARS ) each from the just concluded annual grand finale draws by YAHOO INC in conjunction with GLOBAL INTERNATIONAL Online Sweepstakes Promo, Thunder ball, held in AMSTERDAM HOLLAND. your email was selected.

This Lottery is approved by the British Gaming Board and also Licensed by the The International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR).This lottery is the 3rd of its kind and MSN, YAHOO and AOL intends to assist legally by using this medium to sensitize the beneficiaries and general public on this development during this festive season.

Here is says that your organization listened the program and the e-mail had been sent on SNAPFISH official pad which is approved by Mrs. Amina Wahid (PHD),LOTTO CO-COORDINATOR.

Now I need to know whether it is true or not. And how can I get the prize money and do I need any passport to get the money and where the money will be transferred as I am form another country.

Please, would you kindly tell about the given information’s validity and answer me the needed information given in my letter, I will be highly glad.

Karen | September 24th, 2009 at 12:56 pm

I hope this is the right stop. I am trying to ask about a recent email that I received. It said that Yahoo! was updating their accounts and any that did not respond by September 30 would be shut off. Is this true? Usually when I get an email from you it is highlighted in blue so I know it is yours. Actually I have gotten two so far. Neither one were highlighted. I do not want to lose my account it is the only one I have. Please let me know if this is valid or not. There are just too many scammers out there. The first email asked for more information that the second. Please email soon to let me know. Thank you for your help.

Gouri | October 26th, 2009 at 4:39 am

I had forwarded 2 of such mails to yahoo. In reply, I was asked for full header of the mail which I sent. But didn’t get to hear any update after that. Do we have a system wherein we can track the action taken by yahoo on such mails?
