Lottery Scams in Internet
Did you happened to receive an email in your inbox telling you that you won in a lottery? Did you remember that you played or enter a lottery online? Be very careful if you received such lottery scams from somebody you never know. Don’t get fooled with these kind of emails because these are scams. It simply means that these are fraudulent mails. Never ever entertain it if you happened to receive one. Put it immediately in your spam mail so that you will never received it again. Lastly, never ever give your personal information with them. Here is a sample of a LOTTERY SCAM I received today. You might notice that the maker and sender of this scam mail has a lot of spelling mistakes on his mail. If ever this mail is true and I really happened to claim the prize, I might buy a lot of gold bullion as investment. Sad to say, this kind of mail is a fraud.
