The email message below, which claims that the recipients are lottery winners of the Maryland Lottery Email Address Free-ticket draws of the 2016 Promotion Award, is a lottery scam. Every month, thousands of those email messages are sent out by lottery scammers, to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information and money, to collect so-called lottery prizes. Always remember to verify the authenticity of a Maryland Lottery prize or award by contacting them at their website at www.mdlottery.com. Also, never respond to an email message claiming that you are a lottery winner with your personal or financial information. Legitimate lottery companies do not request personal or financial information via email message, and will never ask winners to send money or financial information in order to collect their prizes.
Here are some tips to help prevent you from becoming a victim of Maryland lottery scams:
- NEVER give your credit card numbers over the phone to anyone promising Maryland Lottery cash prizes or memberships.
- NEVER accept a collect phone call from someone claiming to be a Maryland Lottery official.
- NEVER respond to a letter or phone call from someone who offers you a guarantee of winning a prize. The Maryland Lottery does not guarantee you a prize, only a chance of winning if you buy a legal ticket.
