Loading ...a yahoo email acct. is stating that I have won a lottery,but their requesting $.is this fraud, check it out?
I would like for someone to check into this possible scam, to protect everyone. I am not very familiar with who to contact and how to go about it. The person of this NatWestBank even called me, their from the UK and has a strong Nigerian accent. Their emails and notifications of the won lottery are very persuading, however their asking for over 2, 000 to transfer funds from UK accounts and $ to US accounts and money. I was even provided with an online account number. yahoo should also be aware that their using the domain name as a cover to rip people off. vb

The famous 419 scam. You should google this scam. It’s been around for years. And yes, they even call you. Crazy people if you ask me.

If you are ever not quite sure about an email and think it is a scam, one of the things you can do is plug it into a search engine and see if anything comes up which indicates it is a scam. Just copy and past a few sentences from the body of the email into the search field.
