I receive e mail from Professor Rosemary Clark <yahooandmsn@winnings.com> that i win a prize it is a scam?

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various scams, including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scams and how to report them.

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Reply:The first bit of the email address, "yahooandmsn," is meaningless. The sender chooses it, and they obviously chose that one to make you trust them. That is also why the sender claims to be a Professor. Trust me, university professors have much better things to do than run contests.



In fact, even the domain name, "winnings.com," could easily be faked.



You will never win a prize for a contest you didn't enter.



The DEL key is your friend.
