LG Lottery Scam and Fake Website - "LG Promo 2015" and "www.lg2015.com"

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.

I am also received a txt message about the winning. Lgprize.com and received a secret num to log in on lg website to claim the prize. And I think it is a scam.

It is a scam.

Is lgpromos.com also fake?

Yes. There is no LG Promo 2015 promotion or lottery. Click here for more information.

I've received the same message on Sep 25, 2015. when I filled the form on www.LGpromos.com I received the following e-mail:

"LG Electronics (UK)Ltd

Slough, west Berkshire SL14DX,
United Kingdom.

Dear ********,

Compliments of the day to you, I am very delighted to be contacting you as one of the winners of this year's annual promotion organized by LG™ Electronics. You are indeed a very lucky person.

My duty is to guide you through every process with regards to your prize claims to ensure you receive your winnings within the shortest possible time.
I have however observed from your application form that you are not from the United Kingdom. This year's iPrize was however targeted for United Kingdom only. That not withstanding you can still proceed to claims under special appeal.

We will need to file a special appeal to the UK Gaming council to create an exemption in your case under the hospices of fair-play. Once granted your prize will be approved and we at LG Electronics will immediately proceed to payment of your 850,000 Pounds (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand Great British Pounds) as mandated.

...

Again I say congratulations as I look forward to receiving the above stated document from you so I can immediately envelope them to the National lottery commission. You can call me on 44 703-198-1965 If you need any assistance.

Regards,
Ben Hammond (Client Executive)
LG Electronics (UK) Ltd.

I got the same email 3 days ago.

I received the same text on my mobile last night 02 Dec 2015 and when I filled the form out, I received same email above
the only different is the client executive name. I think it is scam.

Yes, it is a scam. The website: www.lg2015.com, is not associated with LG; it was created by scammers to trick their potential victims.

Is it FAKE? My friend also received a text message from eLG that his number won 850,000 Great Britain Pounds.

Yes, it is a fake and a scam.

I have received a message on my mobile, I filled in the form then I received an email asking me to sign a document.

A guy called asking me to go through with the signing as quick as possible.

It is a scam, do not fall for it.

Today I recieved this message, but it looked so real. I dont know should I continue or is it fake . The website is lgpro.

It is a fake.

how comes that this fake website of lg has no immediate warning from the lg company?

I have received a message on my mobile , I filled in the form then I received an email asking me to sign a document.
I did not continue and started searching for best course of action>

What TO DO? PLZ Advice.

If the form asked for your password, change it now. If it asked for your financial information, please contact your bank, otherwise, be careful next time because they will attempt to use the information you have sent to trick you into sending money or more information.

Thanks. My colleague who is sitting next to me recieved same message on his mobile with same exact wording including that you are (second winner) same as me !!! thanks for the advice

The thing really bothering me is how did they get our mobile number!

Probably you were tricked into submitting it on a phishing website or your computer got infected with malware, which sent your information to the cyber-criminals.
