CPR found that cyber criminals were distributing emails telling the target that they had won prize money organized by Yahoo, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It then asked the recipient to send their personal information and bank details, claiming to transfer the winning prize money to the account.
The email also contained a warning that the target must not tell people about winning the prize because of legal issues.
