Here is another scam.

I received a message from PCH lotto claiming my email won $615,000. I supplied my address to lure them. They requested I pay $290.10 Mailing Freight cost; $10 Fuel surcharge, $310.98 Insurance and $84.80 Vat.

I went on a search to see if this company is true. The charges were not that high but what baffles me is that I should still call them when I receive the parcel for them to give me access. I knew it was SCAM and I blocked them off.

The scammers are running a email scam involving pch, I'll send it to the address you provided. Thanks

Equity Bank PLC

There are 3 ways you can receive the funds $500,000.00

1 bank transfer - you need to confirm the form and the last 1,560 dollars so that the tax clearance code given to you will be activated then you can use it to transfer the money from your account here in Equity Bank PLC

2 Deplomtic means - meaning one of the staffs of our bank will procure visa and flight ticket then get bank approval so that no one will disturb him or her at airport because of the big money,one of our staff Miss Abigail , Steve or anyone here will bring the money there to you and its cost is 8,000 dollars it has to be paid before they can proceed to come there

Just be careful next time because the scammers will contact you and ask you to send money or information.

Hello,

I have just received the same message last week (running on its third week). Was very surprised that I was chosen and won a $500,000.00 amount which will make my family wealthy. But I still think of why it seems that it so easy to have this money and what goes with it. Then an Equity Bank PLC (payments-ebghonlineplc.com) contacted me and made me transfer the amount that I had won. When doing that, it stopped in the middle of the transaction and asking for an IRC code. When I contacted the bank they are asking me to send $200 to a certain account as payment of the code. So I begin to doubt but still continue to play with them. "I don't have money and I cannot send you the amount". Then the bank replied, okay give us $100 and pay the balance when the money was transferred to your account. Again I played, plead and tell a very sad story. Then the $100 becomes $50. I am now waiting for their response. Good I am aware of the scams that are now circulating thru emails.

Be remindful, watchful and alert. Good day.

I've received the same email stating that I am a "Steemed Winner" of YAHOO! ASIA PTE. LTD.

"THE DESK OF THE CLAIMS DIRECTOR,

I followed all their instructions until they are asking an amount for opening an account and I told them to deduct it from my winning, but they told me that it is not possible because it is domiciled in an Escrow Account, until then I knew this is a scam, so I stopped.

Never disclose personal information in an E-mail.

I JUST RECEIVED THIS E-MAIL:

I deleted this. There are numerous spelling errors and its just ridiculous. Made me laugh. Dont fall for these tricks!

I have received an email similar to this, and is is worded almost exactly like the one shown here. I would like to offer my advice:

1.) NEVER reply to these emails. If the scammer receives your reply, (s)he can possibly gain access to your account, and identity theft could occur. NEVER provide ANY personal information to the scammer.

2.) One way you know this is a phishing email is that the email mentions overseas countries. In the U.S., it is ILLEGAL to engage in a foreign lottery.

3.) IF you didn't enter for a drawing, and you receive an email stating that you have won, then most likely it is a phishing scam. In the rare case that the email WOULD be legitimate, then it IS a missed opportunity, however, it is most likely a phishing scam.

4.) Note how the email is poorly worded with broken English, such in examples as "to file for (should be an "A") claim". Also, note the words in parenthesis, which are most likely the words the scammer adds in: ($550,000), (email), and (claim officer). Also, "We are delighted to inform you", "You are to establish contact", and "please contact below" are not used in everyday

5.) A company will NEVER contact you directly. In most cases, a company will NOT initiate contact with you unless you initiate contact with the company.

6.) Finally, if you have already fallen victim to this phishing scam, IMMEDIATELY reset your email password, enable two-factor authentication (if you have not done so already), and closely monitor your bank statements, credit card statements, etc. for any possible fraudulent activity that may arise. If you notice ANY issues, obtain your credit report, and contact your creditors IMMEDIATELY to take the next steps.

I hope everyone finds this information helpful.
