Lottery scams
Lottery scams have been increasing at an alarming rate because they succeed
in tricking people the best. These scams vary with regard to the 'prize',
the country of origin, the sponsoring organization and so on. The scammers
fool users by showcasing popular financial institutions and government
departments on their websites. They also provide links to genuine looking
websites that are designed to back up information included in the scam
mails.
How it works:
You receive an e-mail saying you that you've won an amazing prize and
all you need to do is visit a website and give your personal information
to get your prize shipped. You end up getting nothing and find your money
disappearing quickly from your account. |
