    I just received this scam email that I won the Yahoo lottery.
    I have not seen this scam in over a year, anyone else been getting these?
    I wonder how many people fall for this scam. :(
    It must work or why else would a scammer be trying it again?:confused:

    The spam filters do not work because the scammer changes emails all the time. They also are using yahoo email addresses so they just keep changing accounts.
