IS THIS A SCAM...

I got an email late last night from sweepstakes@Yahoo.com
I was told that I was one of five winners of a Sony Playstation 2.
All I had to do was click which I did. It then directed me to dial up a number on my modem. It appears that the number is a 900 number.
If my memory serves me right, a 900 number is a pay by the minute number. They could keep me on for a long time,and I would get billed what ever their by the minute rate was. Needless to say, I did not call. Has anyone else run into this kind of thing?

Thanks,
Ralph
