Here is a yahoo email scam that is being sent out. If you click on the link, you can see that they misspell their scam-site heading (Carrefully). If any of you have tracking powers, we could gather some info for the authorities together.
You usually know it is a scam by the fact that they ask you to provide personal information that you should never give to anyone. This email scam uses this method.
