Email Scams on Foreign
Lotteries
|
|
|
|
|
The Bait:
Emails boasting enticing odds in foreign lotteries. You may even get a
message claiming you've already won! You just have to pay to get your prize
or collect your winnings. |
|
|
|
The Catch:
Most promotions for foreign lotteries are phony. The scammers will ask you
to pay 'taxes', 'customs duties' or 'fees'. Scammers sometime ask you to
send funds via wire transfer. Don't send cash or use a money-wiring service
because you'll have no recourse if something goes wrong. In addition,
lottery hustlers use victims' bank account numbers to make unauthorized
withdrawals or their credit card numbers to run up additional charges.
|
|
Your Safety Net:
Skip these offers. Don't send money now on the promise of a pay-off later. |
