Lottery Emails
There has been an ever-growing number
of scam lottery emails advising consumers they have hit the
jackpot. We ask that you consider the following when
you receive a solicitation of this kind.
- They
do not notify winners by email.
- You
cannot win without first buying a lottery ticket.
- They
do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
- They
do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to
communicate with you.
- They
do not tell you to call a mobile phone number.
- They
do not tell you to keep your winnings secret.
- They
will never ask a winner to pay any fees up front (like taxes
or a security deposit) to receive a prize, lottery or sweepstake!
Remember,
if you don't recognize who sent you the email - delete it!
