Once the scammers have received their potential victims’ information, they will contact them and attempt to further trick them into sending money. The scammers will claim that the requested money is for taxes, delivery fees or some other fees their so-called promotion or lottery winners must pay in order to receive their prizes.
But, there is no such Alphabet or Google lottery / promotion. Therefore, online users should delete email messages requesting personal information and claiming that they are winners of Alphabet or Google promotions/lotteries.
