Yahoo Scam!
Ever seen the YHOO Fortune 500? Well turns out those emails you've been getting are scams! That's right its a complete scam. If you have ever seen this you just probably thought that's a internet lottery. Well it is powered by Thai and Nigerian scammers. The people made millions upon millions. When Yahoo finally figured it out. They got 610 million dollars for these scams. They got 50$ for every single email from them. Which totaled out at 583 million dollars. Along with a trademark infringement. This amounted to a 27 million dollars. As you can see don't mess with any companies online or anywhere. This is serious and can be an expensive fraud in the end. I do agree with the author how horrible people have been scammed. I have been sent these emails before I did not click on it luckily and be scammed like many other people.
