Mr. Akubia Wallas
Complaint 178181 Details

I was so happy! My email was supposedly picked at random as a winner for using Yahoo Beta Mail Service. Ummm, no. Yahoo is not involved in anyway. I bit, responded to the email, and was really not that surprised that they wanted $850. to "process" my winning transaction. Be aware and be wary.
I tried to contact Yahoo to let them know what was going on but was unsuccesful in reaching someone to respond.
