由于被泰国和尼日利亚不法分子冒用名称和标志，2011年12月5日，美国著名的互联网门户网站雅虎公司要求其赔偿6.1亿美元。

　　彩票骗局在全球几乎无所不在，以彩票中奖为骗局噱头以及冒充知名公司的手法非常受骗子们的青睐。2008年，雅虎公司起诉几个名为“约翰”的人使用该公司名称和标志，经过纽约地区高级法庭的调查，确定不法分子通过该公司系统传播超过1160万个彩票欺诈邮件。

　　按照“反垃圾邮件法”规定，法官劳拉·泰勒·斯维恩决定，以每封欺诈邮件获赔50美元，共计5.83亿美元赔付给雅虎公司，商标侵权赔偿款为2700万美元。据了解，雅虎公司2010年盈利12亿美元，此次获赔款项约等于其在该年盈利所得的一半。但是，雅虎公司真正得到赔偿可能性很小——被告人是泰国和尼日利亚个人组织、尼日利亚某公司和台湾某公司，目前没有任何一被告作出回应。
