Sounds like a scam to me, 99%. I would find a legitimate contact number or address for Vodaphone and inform them of this.

100% Scam!

1. Why on earth would Vodafone be sending you mail from a yahoo account?

2. Why are they asking questions about your personal information? - shouldn't they already have It?

3. Batch Number 'FL/668530092' - 'FL' -could that be short for Florida?

4. Surely a link for vodafone webiste would be Inlcuded In the signature of the email!

5. 'Best Regards,
MR. Franz Beckenbauer
(Lottery Co-Ordinator)' - Seems 100% fake - shouldn't It state 'Vodafone' , 'Vodafone Marketing' or something like that?

6. ''This is from a total cash prize of five million pounds(500,000.00 GBP)'' - You would use a £ symbol wouldn't you!! - This probley means the User was abroad and did not have a £ on the keyboard??
