Scammers use large cash prizes to trick their potential victims into sending personal and financial information that they will subquently use to rip them off.

I received an email purported to be from Kerry Jones CEO at SAMSUNG, the email referred to an online promotional award conducted by Samsung where 10 lucky winners had won 500,000 pounds sterling as part of their financial empowerment program.

The email requested the supply of the following information:
Name, age, gender, address, phone, occupation, state, country, nationality.

I opened the email thinking it was regarding my mobile phone as it is a Samsung.

Obviously a hoax.

this is the new one they are doing...I have about 7 emails begging me to respond, fill out forms, and of course give SSN and banking information to Samsung to get a huge cash prize...don't fall for it.
