Lottery Scams

Most people have had the usually badly written emails telling them that they have won millions in a lottery somewhere in the world yet people are still falling prey to these messages on a daily basis.

Most, but not all originate from Nigeria and a number of ploys are used.

Lottery scam letters are sent out in their thousands every day.  If not seeking money up front usually under the pretence of local taxes being payable before a prize can be released then the purpose of the message is to obtain your identity and banking details.

This can be done by a number of methods and the two most common are

a)To request your bankers details in order that a prize can be paid (Thus allowing them to make contact with your bank to request the withdrawal of funds)

b)To obtain your details by referring you to a website to verify your details or find out more. As soon as you visit this website (unless you have full anti virus protection) a trojan file can be downloaded to your computer which will allow the senders of your "winning email" to extract your banking details and often control that computer remotely.

More details on these type of frauds can be seen at the website FraudAid

Mostly, however, these messages are easily identified by the sender email not being associated with the lottery company concerned (eg the sender had a yahoo email address) Spelling and grammar are invariably poor.

Below are some examples of typical lottery scam emails..
