    Greetings!


    I'd be happy to answer that question for you as I work for the Fraud Division of an international lottery commission (in Nigeria) and we are constantly trying to contact surviving family members in order to transfer millions of pounds, euros or dollars to their checking accounts around the world. Nigeria is an absolutely dreadful place for wealthy and distant relatives to get on.


    All I need to answer your question is two different banking account numbers with their respective pins. I will then be able to make sure that no unauthorized activity has occurred and determine whether or not this message is indeed SPAM.


    You can send secure information to my own email account: IGtotallysecure@nigerialottery.ng.rumafia.net.


    Warm regards,

    Iona Glasshouse

    Technically it's phishing, but yes, you should delete it.

    You can also report it to Yahoo as a suspicious email or security concern.
