Feds and Oprah unite to warn of internet scam

The FBI and 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' warned internet users should beware of an e-mail scam that promises attendance at the popular talk show in exchange for the purchase of a plane ticket.

The FBI's internet Crime Complaint Centre said this week that a circulating e-mail was advertising the Oprah Millionaire Contest Show, which asks recipients for contact information. It also says those who apply have a chance to win $1m.
