Reply:scam, a total scam...do not respond or give them any info or follow any provided link...they are trying to steal your money and identity
Reply:Do you recall entering a contest? Those emails are just spam. When you enter such contests they typically ask for multiple ways to contact you, and winning that much money would warrant a phone call, not just an email that your filter might block as junk anyway.





Disregard it.
Reply:Have you entered any competitions? If not - it sounds very fishy - don't give out any bank information - check with Yahoo see if they know anything.
Reply:I think it is a scam...
