I've got an e-mail that I've won a lottery of 500000 gbp from yahoo windows awards committee... is that true?

Received same email from Stacy Willshire. Reported it to yahoo by using this link: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... (Make sure you give them the full header info) Also forwarded the email to [email protected] with the full header info. Please report these promptly to facilitate investigation.

It does not matter what the names are, Talia. When an E-mail offer sounds too good to be true, then it is definitely not true. It is a scam to get your personal information and/or your money, or both!

Do not respond to it. Report it, forward it to the FTC at [email protected] and to the abuse desk of the sender's ISP. For yahoo, report them here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ya... Choose Fraud as the reason for the violation you're reporting on.

Also, if the E-mail appears to be impersonating a bank or other company or organization, forward the message to the actual organization. And for your E-mail safety, remember: Do not ever open E-mail from people you do not know; and unless you are absolutely sure who it is from then treat them as spam. Opening spam alerts the sender that your address is a valid one and they send you loads and loads more of it to you.

Never, ever give out your personal information to anyone, for any reason, whether by E-mail, snail mail, phone call, or at your front door. And do not ever send money, checks or money orders to; or cash checks, money orders for any one - ever.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
