Few days ago I have received a msg like this, I followed the link they gave me and it led me to lg website, thingking that its legit I followed the instructions given. Then I received a reply in my email that since im not from the UK they will appeal in my behalf. And they ask me to send a copy of any GOV I.D and utility bill. So I send them, then they replied they need 524 pounds for the uk national lottery comission. This is when I realize that this is a scam. My question is I have sent some document, am I safe? If I stop replying to them will I be safe?
The scammers will continue to contact and attempt to scam you, so just be careful going forward. And, since you have sent your I.D, we recommend reporting it to the police.
Can't I do say or do anything to stop them from contacting me? I've already marked all their mails as spam, will it help? Whats the worse they can do aside from bugging me?
Yes, marking the emails as spam will help. And, they cannot do anything to you unless you follow their instructions.
Hi,LG iprize send me a message. They said my number won 850000 GBP.Is this true or fake?
I received the same message! Thats why I am here.. Obviously fake msg!
It is a fake. It is a lottery scam.
Hi,I received a message yesterday saying that my number won 850,000GBP .I fill up the form and after that they send me email with attachment saying that I should write my name and signature and scan then send again to them. I read all the conversations here and this is all scam. Is it safe since I just give my personal info?
Yes, you are safe, but the scammers will continue to contact you, in an attempt to scam you, so be careful going forward.
Sir, I have received a message from Andrew@lgcontect.com, that told me I am a lucky winner. Is it true?
No, it is not true, it is a lottery scam.
