I check my spam folder occasionally just to make sure something valid does not get sent there. I just checked and recieved the following email from Hilary TailorMr. <info@yahoo.com>. I read it and didn't even have to check Snopes, I knew right away it was a scam. Just wanted to pass this info along. Here is the email:

Okay, first rule of thumb, if you are truly a winner of a prize you won't be asked for money.
Also, the email does not mention my name. Therefore the scammer can mass email thousands of people without being name specific.
And the company is written in the email as Ups, not UPS.
But I can see someone falling for this if they aren't email savvy. Any age. So worn people you know. Thanks!
