I have been receiving too many “your email has WON” from all over, including the U. K.. They all ask for personal information that they would use for illegal purposes and the all have Yahoo email addresses. I know these are fake and I’m sure some people believe this non-sense and send them what they want. I have looked for some place to report these scams to but haven’t found any. Surely Yahoo doesn’t allow criminal activity on this web site…..

Yahoo does not read your E-mail. That would be invasion of privacy. Do you really want someone censoring your mail? Just mark it as Spam.
Yahoo does not make a criminal background check on everyone who avails him/herself of a Yahoo address. Surely you can see the manpower involved.
I’ve been getting a lot of these, also. I have my Yahoo e-mail set to “block HTML images.” This way, if I get a legitimate e-mail I can scroll to the bottom of the message and unblock them.
I also have Yahoo e-mail set to “display the full header.” This way, when I get these “winning” notices, I carefully select the header and message, copy, and paste into a message box. I then forward to:
Then I go back and click in the box preceding the message and mark it as SPAM - which blocks it from further accessing my mailbox.
When you get something you consider to be criminal activity or spam just punch SPAM at the top the message.
