I received a mail from yahoo award center and windows live which i am one of the winner from six.?

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of several email scams including the famous Yahoo/MSN lottery scam and how to report them :

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

It is spam. A sender's email address is similar to the return address on an envelope you receive in the mail. And just like the return address on an envelope, a person can send an email that looks like it came from anywhere. Follow the link and I'm sure you will find it is not a valid URL for either Yahoo or Windows Live.

Spam from Nigeria. I am getting them everyday. It is for sure from Nigeria. They tell me that on theur email. No disrespect to nigerian.
Spam, I've gotten those before too
The message should be spammed and deleted right now because it's one of those 419's coming straight out of Nigeria. You'll never get anyting out of this bogus lottery.
