Post Title: YOUR WINNING FILE ATTACHED

Location: nationwide

States affected: ALL - pretty much everywhere    

Notes:
This is one of those scams where they claim you "win" something and you have to contact someone out of the country to get it. Only this time it's even more sneakier because they are claiming you have won something from Yahoo! directly because you are a Yahoo! email user. BS!!!

Here is the full scam. I had it come in a PDF file so when it is viewable that way it looks all fancy and legit. Do NOT fall for it.
