Fake Yahoo Lottery Scam Conmen Ordered To Pay Yahoo $610 Million
[

Struggling net firm Yahoo has won a bumper payout from a lottery but may never see the cash swell its bank account.
A US court has ordered conmen who ran a fake lottery using Yahoo's name to pay the net firm $610m (£388m).
The scam involved emailing people telling them they had won a prize in Yahoo lottery.
Victims handed over personal details to receive cash prizes but had their bank accounts plundered instead.

Not likely to collect the funds... also interesting is that Yahoo was used to promote the scam.
