The email messages below, which appear as if they were sent from Royal Express Logistic and IFS Global Logistics, are lottery scams. The fake email messages were sent by lottery scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them money to claim their so-called lottery prizes. Always remember never to send money to anyone in order to claim lottery prizes. Legitimate lottery companies do not ask their players to send money in order to receive their prizes, or request personal or financial information via email message, text message or other messaging utility.
Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a lottery scammer attempting to steal your money, personal information, or financial information.
