Yahoo London Fair International Program Email Scam

You must be shocked and excited to recieve this emails claiming that you won such a huge amount of money. You are here to know about the reality of the email. The harsh fact is that you are not a winner but you have been targeted by a scammer.

All your are answers in the email itself. Firstly the email should be addressed to your name, in reality it is addressed to winners. Secondly the email you have recieved is from web.de. Whereas they are claiming that this is a yahoo lottery. If it is from yahoo why is yahoo team using a third party email service.

Why there is nothing about such lottery scheme on news and on yahoo website. Another important thing to know is that over here another third party email service is used which is reddiffmail. Why are they using a free email service? Why are they intereted to know about your details?

I am pasting the email for the awareness. Just ignore and delete the email. Feel free to ask any questions.

These authentic-looking messages are designed to fool recipients into divulging personal data such as account numbers and passwords or credit card numbers.

    These types of emails are sent to random recipients with the aim of extracting electronic banking logon details from unsuspecting victims, resulting in financial damage to the client If you would like to report a Phishing Scam please report it to:secmon@absa.co.za .If you get an email or pop-up message that asks for your personal or financial information, do not click on the link in the message rather report it to the above email addresses.

    Absa in fact any other financial institution will never ask you to divulge you’re banking credentials via email. In case you have provided your personal information please immediately report it.

    Spam should be deleted and users are advised not to unsubscribe to the sender. Please report any lottery and 419 Scams to forensics419@absa.co.za
