The email below, which claims the recipients are winners in the "Ontario 49 Draws Lottery Promotions" held in Canada is a lottery scam. The fake email is being sent by lottery scammers to trick potential victims into sending them their personal information and subsequently sending them money. The scammers will claim the money is for a processing fee, taxes, delivery fee or some other fee. But, if the potential victims send their personal information the scammers will take it and sell it to other scammers. And, if they send their hard-earned money, the scammers will steal it and disappear, leaving the potential victims a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke and depressed.
