Welcome to the modern world of global scamming, where anyone anywhere in the world can try to con anyone else, using cheap email and VoIP.
These scams will use the names of ANY large well known company. They already use "Microsoft", "Yahoo", "Walmart", "Coca Cola", "Barclays Bank", etc.
Large international companies don't run "lotteries". They sell products.
If one of these companies put any energy into publicizing these scams, the scammers would just turn it to their advantage by including the "official" warnings and claiming they are the "real" Yahoo lottery". Scam emails already include references to www.ic3.gov, a real government site for reporting frauds, using it to sound "legitimate".
The rest of the world will just have to smarten up, just like Americans will have to learn that "debt collectors" with Indian accents are just con artists.
