Yahoo! International Promotion Program scam
Lately, a large number of lottery, and 419 scammers have been using Yahoo! addresses. They are much more common than Google’s Gmail service. However, and ironically, not this one, that claims to be a winning notification from the “Yahoo” International Promotion Program”, is a scam email that doesn’t use a Yahoo address, even if they have a yahoo.com.hk address as their reply-to. Wonder if it will still be valid after I report the scam to Yahoo?
Because that’s all it is. A scam!
