New Form Of Nigerian Scam

Watch Out For New Form Of Nigerian Scam targetting Yahoo! Email Ids..


I have yahoo email id which I really don't use much. I haven't given my id to anyone nor i have used that id at any specific websites for memberships or account registrations. Still, i get loads of spams, scams and phishing emails all the time. I received an email which is very interesting and worth mentioning...

This particular email is similar to Nigerian Scam.

Subject Line States: CONGRATULATIONS YOUR E MAIL ID HAS WON $500,000.00 US DOLLARS FROM YAHOO!!!!

Asking users to send this particular personal information at mr_brown_jude at ko.ro.
