1. dude its a scam... australian lottery is not located in nigeria!!! plus the email address is a yahoo email LOL
2. SCAM!!!!!!!! Anything that says Nigeria in it is a scam.
3. LOTTERY SCAM:- ♦Its purely a 'SPAM'. Do not respond to any of those messages as they intend to ‘STEAL’ your personal information. It is also enough for one E-mail to bait users into more of such lottery winning games. It is entirely a 'FAKE'. Who would give you free money if you had never participated in any of the contests? http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse/abuse-15.html ♦Its an EASY way of getting personal information and send you MORE of such messages to FILL up your Inbox! Yahoo keeps telling that they never send lottery E-mails to anyone saying that you've won XXX amounts. Never go to a site, which has contests and hosts mail lotteries. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/abuse/abuse-63.html ♦People get thousands of E-mails everyday saying that they've ‘WON’ lottery prizes and amounts and even go to the extent of claiming their prize. NEVER RESPOND TO IT!! Folks are also getting ‘DUPED’ by such kind of activities and fall to the trap of spammers! These lotteries ‘CONFIRM’ your working E-mail address and intend to send more of such mails ♦These links could help you out:- http://www.microsoft.com/protect/yourself/phishing/lottery.mspx http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lottery_scam Best Wishes and Take Care ♫♪
4. Fake. I got one of those too. Look it up online scams. It will tell you stories of people who lost money because they were tricked into believing it.
5. I received something similar. It was from Ireland. Don't respond to it. Someone is trying to steal your personal information.
