Well, there's another scam floating around the internet. This one claims to be from Yahoo, and, like so many others, they want to give you money. The email says that YOU have been selected to receive a huge ton of cash from the world bank... yadda, yadda, yadda.

Just so everyone's aware, despite the letter's assurances and "security measures" to prove that it isn't a scam - it is.

Here's a tip: if the email doesn't come from or go back to the company it claims to represent, it might be a scam. If the email is filled with more spelling errors than President Bush's attempts at speech writing, it might be a scam. If it gives you a telephone number to call that doesn't go to the country where the company is based, it might be a scam. And - especially important - if an email tells you not to reveal this 'top secret' information to the public, it might be a scam.

Just a word of warning.
