I have received email claiming I've won a large sum of money. It is from Yahoo Lotto Promotion Board based out of Indonesia. They say my e-mail was attached to batch numbers and I am one of 12 people whom the 14,400.000 british pounds will be divided amongst. They say winners were randomly selected from around the globe. I would like to know is there such a lottery system affiliated with Yahoo?
Well lets see.
Is Yahoo an Indonesian company? No.
Is Yahoo a British company that would deal in Pounds? No.
Is this an obvious scam? Yes.
If it sounds too good to be true, and it came in your email box, it ALWAYS, 100% of the time, is too good to be true!

No that's obviously a scam.
