Lottery Scam - "March Twitter Lottery Winner from your City"
The Twitter page below, which claims that Twitter users have been confirmed as the March Twitter Lottery winner from their city, is a scam. There is no Twitter Lottery and the link in the message or on the page will take the scammers’ potential victims to malicious websites that will infect their computers with viruses or to survey websites, where they will be asked to complete surveys in order to receive their prizes.
But, it doesn’t matter how much survey is taken or how much software the victims download, they will never receive any lottery winnings because there is no Twitter lottery.
