500 USD from Yahoo?

Do you ever get an email from Yahoo stating that you win 500$? But when you try to withdraw the prize, you have to first pay 8.95$? Is it true? I got the email.
Anybody ever try to pay? Do you get the 500$?

I got something from them once telling me to click on a yahoo url. When I did, the url was invalid (it was yahoo.com url, that's why I went ahead & clicked it). But it's just some sort of scam thing as always, lol. You shouldn't believe in such things, Yahoo doesn't give out random prizes and if they ever do, they'd never tell you to pay for it. Did you try to pay?

Yes ! I did received one few months back and i am still keeping this e-mail .
This is the e-mail i got from Yahoo ,

I'm getting this email on all my Yahoo accounts. This is fake so please ignore it. Even Yahoo states that if they ever contact you via email, it will be from yahoo-inc.com domain and will stand out from other emails (like bolder and with a Yahoo icon).

thanks for that information Positive.
By the way,i have never got this type of email from yahoo but have loads of them from freelotto and hallmark claiming to give me around 4000$!!!

Are you sure the email was really form Yahoo?Normally there was no cost when you win a prize.It seems that you received was a cheating email.

I think that email wasn't really from yahoo. Do you try to visit this site?
I have never get that yahoo email. What do you see on it?

Bye
