Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Lottery - Donation
It is important that Facebook users know that there is no Facebook lottery or "Facebook Award Program." Therefore, Facebook users who have received the lottery scamming message below, which claims they have won or been awarded thousands of dollars in the Facebook Award Program 2016 fiscal year draw, should delete the message. The fake message is being sent by lottery scammers to trick Facebook users into sending them their personal information. Once the scammers have their potential victims’ personal information, they will ask them to send advance fees in order to claim their so-called lottery prizes. Once the scammers received their victims’ money, they will disappear or attempt to get more money from their victims.
It is important to remember that legitimate companies will never ask their lottery winners to send their personal information via email message or send money in order to receive their prizes. Therefore, if online or internet users are asked to do the same, that should be the first indicator that someone is attempting to scam them.

Vimal V. winner in fb award program. Is it true?
No, it is not true, it is a scam. There is no Facebook lottery or promotion that is giving thousands or millions of dollars away.
Well, I need to no what to do, because FedEx wants me to go and get a 50 dollars iTunes card; so what do I do?
FedEx or other legitimate companies will never ask you to get an iTunes card for payment.Remember, If you are asked to send iTunes card as payment, it means a scammer or cyber thief is attempting to scam or rob you.
