Online Threat Alerts (OTA)

The email message below, which claims that the recipients are lucky winners of the "Google and Microsoft Windows Online Sweepstakes Promotion," is a lottery scam that is being sent by lottery scammers to their potential victims. There is no "Google and Microsoft Windows Online Sweepstakes Promotion," and recipients of the fake email message should not respond to it or follow the instructions in it. Remember, every month, lottery scammers send out thousands of lottery scamming email messages in an attempt to trick the recipients into thinking they have won the lottery. Once potential victims respond to the fake lottery scamming email messages, they will be asked by the lottery scammers to send thousands of dollars, which the scammers will claim are for taxes and other fees that the potential victims must pay in order for them to receive their so-called lottery prizes. But, once the lottery scammers receive the money sent by their victims, they will disappear, leaving the victims disappointed, frustrated and a few thousand dollars poorer.

I got one of these emails, I followed the instructions, then I got to thinking about it and decided to research it. And sure enough I found out the it was a scam. I should have realized that it wasn’t true. Then I got to thinking about it and remembered that years ago I got one of the same things, but when they asked for money I refused to sent any. If they ask for money again, I tell them I’ll put it in the mail then send a empty envelope.
