The two most important things to remember about lottery scams are: You CAN NOT win a jackpot in a lottery draw that you did not enter. A legitimate lottery organisation will NEVER ask you to send them money before releasing your win. Protect yourself If you ever do find yourself in a position where you think that you are being targeted by lottery scammers here are some simple tips to make sure that you don’t fall victim to their tricks. NEVER send any money or give your bank account details to any organisation that claims to be an official lottery body. Do NOT open emails that seem suspicious or that are unsolicited by you. Delete them straight away if you can. NEVER reply to a spam email, even to unsubscribe – this instantly tells a scammer that your email address is valid and active. NEVER call a phone number that appears on a spam email. Do NOT click on any links in a spam email. The best thing to do when you are in doubt is just delete and walk away. The old saying is almost always true; If it looks too good to be true, chances are that it probably is.
