Dubai Duty Free Lottery Scams Being Sent by Scammers

There are a number of fake emails and telephone calls that claim to be from Dubai Duty Free advising individuals that they have won one of the Dubai Duty Free promotions to win a luxury car or to win a million dollars. These fake emails use addresses such as Yahoo, AOL, Gmail etc and are being sent by lottery scammers, not by Dubai Duty Free. If you receive such emails or telephone calls, please refrain from sending any personal details, money or respond in any way. Dubai Duty Free encourages all individuals to be aware of potentially fraudulent behaviour by malicious parties.
