They do not need a specific e-mail address to send them out, but by replying then they will have yours....and will fill your inbox with spam. You see that they in fact request your e-mail address in the list of info they want...and ya next of kin.. ..hoping to get another e-mail addy to spam.

Unless you have specifically filled out anything on a website that requires them to send you something via e-mail...then it is either spam or a scam and they need a response in order to get your e-mail addy. Including sites that claim to have added you to a subscription that you actually did not sign up for but they need you to click a link to unsubscribe.

It's My Secret

Doubtful its actually from yahoo..just highlight the email and click the spam button on your yahoo email. This will help keep the same spammers from sending again.

i think the coca cola lottery was a bit tight......what about a life time supply of coke as well....? sheesh.....thats SAD.......lol hey Uvah I got the yahoo lottery scam email too, i just shook my head and junked it.... One time i took a lottery scam company 'on' I followed all their stupid directions, (but withheld all my personal private info) and when it came the time for me to give THEM money so I could get my winnings, then i let them have it, I told them I was going to report them to the department of fair trading...and they got scared....and needless to say, they never wrote back. I just played them along to see how they worked.......
