Scammers Use Yahoo Again by James Glave

5:45pm 11.Dec.97.PST
It has been a rough week for Yahoo. After suffering
a hack to its home page Monday, the company is
now dealing with an email and Usenet credit-card
scam that has affected dozens of members of the
company's free Web-based email service, Yahoo
Mail.

The message, from
"contest_winner@yahoo.com," claims that
recipients have been awarded a free US Robotics
56Kbps modem.
The email and Usenet post is an
attempt to persuade people to forward credit-card
information that the sender says is needed to
cover shipping costs on their prize.

I have Yahoo Email and was not notified that I was a prize
winner. What a gyp, huh?
