The scammers are operating in countries where it is hard to apprehend them. And, email addresses and telephone numbers are virtual, meaning, they are not tied to a physical address or location. So, the owners can be anywhere in the world, which makes it hard to track them.

Delete


by info

You may have registered on some fake website using your email address, created by scammers to harvest your email address. Or, people that you have sent email messages, may have gotten their computers infected with malware that searched their computers, found your email address in their inboxes and send it to spammers.

Also, if you post your email address in open forums and other websites, it can be found by spambots, which are software used by spammers to search the internet for email addresses.

There is nothing to worry about, if you have only sent them your address and account number.

But, they will continue to attempt to trick you into sending more information and money, so be careful next time.

Next send your information to anyone who claims you have won the lottery or sweepstakes via email.

Mine was only for 750K but what caught my attention was it was sponsored (?) by Google Gmail Incoperation (sp). It said there were only 5 winners selected at random. They only ask for basic info at this point, how do they make money from that?

Delete


by info

They start off by getting your personal information. Then, they use that information to trick you into sending money, which they claim is needed, in order for you to collect your winnings.

Getting people's personal information is very important to the scammers, because it makes their scams more convincing. Contacting and providing people with their personal information, will make them trust the people who have contacted them.

Thanks a lot. I was just in the process of scanning the "claim form " to them before I pumped in to this warning. Mine was from New York Free ticket Lotto and the rest of the details are similar including the winning numbers and the bonus.

These guys can be smart and dumb at the same time. How can they be stopped from exciting people this badly?

It hard to stop them because most of them are operating from foreign countries where it is hard to find and prosecute them.

Thanks a lot for bringing this salvation to mankind. By this alert, you have saved me a lot of trouble and distraction.

I received same congratulatory mail using one Teresa Marie / Thomas Newman asking for my personal information to enable them arrange payment of the award of US$800,000.00 to me, dated Feb. 19, 2015.

Somehow, I didn't see it until just last week while I was checking my past mails.

I checked NYLotto thing online and saw something encouraging me to believe in their motto: "You never know" ... I sent my info, but it was blocked by you somehow. Thanks, anyway, but I was still eager to get ahead until now.I had already spoken with the so called Thomas Newman today, Monday, July 20, who asked me my name and when I told him that his E-mail address was rejected, he opted to send me another one to my phone.

It never came till this your alert.

I cant believe it, I fell for this scam. I honestly thought it was true, since I contacted them. So I send my personal information and a copy of my ID just yesterday. Now I am full of regrets. They told me they send my documents and the ID to the insurance place and they will get back to me as soon as it's processed. Now, I am scared. I fear what they will do with my identification.
