    I got an invitation to join a computetion with yahoo to display their ads on my site and if i win the computition i get $5000.
    They asked me to enter the coompetition but didnt ask for an details to pay me and they didnt give me any ad code to display on my page.
    I think somebody is on drugs at yahoo becuse the whole thing was a bit confusing.

    Anyone got the scoop on this one?

    May be some one sent you a fishing email.

    Did they ask you to pay some signup fee etc?
