Most recently, these scams utilize significant sounding names like “US National Lottery,” “Uber Millions Mobile Lottery,” “USA UK Mega Millions Lottery,” “Super Millions Corporation” or “Super Millions International Lottery” .

Now, here are a few hints that can keep you from being defrauded:

  • If somebody says you have won a lottery that you have never played, be suspicious. You can’t win a real lottery if you didn’t purchase a ticket.
  • If you have caller ID on your telephone, check the area code when somebody calls to tell you you’ve won. On the off chance that it is from a remote nation, that is a warning. Likewise, know that some scammers use innovative means like VPN software that enables them to change their area code. So they may seem as though they’re calling from your state or country, but they could be anyplace on the planet.
  • Be suspicious if an email contains incorrect spellings or poor sentence structure, or if the individual who called you utilizes poor English.
  • If you are informed that you have to keep your “win” private, be suspicious.
  • No genuine lottery advises winners to spend their own cash so as to collect a prize they have officially won. In the event that you need to pay an expense to gather your rewards, you haven’t won.
  • Mentioning a genuine lottery agency does not really make it a genuine prize. Somebody might utilize the lottery’s name without its authorization.
  • Never give out private data or send cash except if you confirm the organization’s authenticity.
  • If they offer to wire the “rewards” directly into your bank account, don’t give them your bank account information.
  • If you have to “confirm” the prize by calling a specific number, that number might be a part of the scam. Rather than calling it, you should look into the name of the lottery or association on your own to discover its genuine contact info.
  • If you think somebody on the telephone is trying to trick you, hang up right away. If you engage them in a discussion, your name and contact data could end up on a list and distributed to different scammers.
