"Google Lottery Result Announcement" Sweepstakes Scam

This type of lottery scam will ask the recipients to send their personal information and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called prizes. But, the recipients should not respond to the email message or follow the instructions in it. Google is not taking part in or endorsing any lottery game, so recipients of email messages claiming that they have won some lottery prize endorsed by Google, should know it is a scam.

Remember, there is no prize, so recipients of the lottery scam, should not send their hard earned money to these cybercriminals. If the recipients send their personal information, the cybercriminals will use it to further scam them. Remember, once you are asked to send money, especially via Western Union or MoneyGran, for taxes, delivery charges, services charges, custom fees, or any other charges or fees, in order to receive a lottery prize, it is scammers attempting to rob you.

This lottery scam is similar to the following:

• Lottery Scam: “Google 2015 Anniversary Promotion Award”
• Lottery Scam: "Google Award 2014 - Google Promotion Award"
