Online users, the so-called "United Kingdom National Lottery in association with Federation Internationale de Football Association(FIFA), Microsoft and Coca-Cola" is a lottery scam. Therefore, recipients of the same email message, which claim they are winners in the 2017 annual draw of the International Promotions Programme of the UK National Lottery-FIFA 2008 World Cup in Russia should delete it, because there is no such lottery.

The lottery scammers trick potential victims into sending them money by claiming the potential victims are winners in the bogus lottery. Once the potential victims send their money, which the lottery scammers will claim is for taxes or other fees, they will disappear, leaving the victims broke, angry and depressed. This is why online users should never send money to anyone to claim a lottery prize. This is because legitimate lottery companies do not request money, taxes, personal or financial information from their winners.

Victims of the lottery scam should report it to the police, although there is little or nothing they can do because the lottery scammers are operating in foreign countries where it is difficult to apprehend them.

Remember, once you are asked to send money, personal or financial information in order to collect a lottery prize, it is the first sign that some lottery scammers are attempting to trick you into sending them your hard-earned money or information.

    Here is another scam:

    "I received an e-mail yesterday informing me that I won in Lottery UK in association with International Olympic Committe an amount of 2 Million£ Pounds, now they even sent me an award claim certificate.

    They said they will contact me regarding the details where I have to deposit the money which will cover courier cost, that amount is R3000. Now I suspect that this is a Scam hence I never entered for any competition and they said my e-mail was randomly selected."

    Hi, I have received an email that my email address has been selected as a winner in a random micro-soft world wide web, computerizes draw system. To do with this FIFA 2018 world cup in Russia by June 2018 and that I have won 2,000,000.00 English pound! What a joke!

    They did not ask my for any money so far. Just name, address and copy of ID or license.

    They emailed me the Award Winning Certificate etc. They only want me to revert back to the office in acknowledgment of receipt of my certificate.

    The email came from Capital Finance Inc. Claims Office London, email capatalfinanceinc@interia.net and informed me that my prize claim has been completely processed for disbursement with their Claims & Treassary Dept.

    IS THIS A SCAM? WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE!

    My woman's intuition saved me as I did not send them anything. That's when I came to read this article.

    How can we report the email and sender as scammers, so they may not have anymore victims?

    Thanks

  • November 9, 2017 at 6:20 AM by an anonymous user from: London, England, United Kingdom

    Be vigilant when reading this scam email from fraudsters, more often than not you will spot grammatical errors within its contents, and always remember if it sounds to good to be true it generally isn't.

    These fraudsters rely on their victims vulnerability or greed in getting something for nothing plus as those promoting lottery draws state you have to be in it to win it self explanatory. Also if genuine they would NEVER ask for or infer that an upfront fee whether it be for taxes or any other reason it's a SCAM... So Ignore it and delete it immediately for fear that if you act in haste you will be repenting at leisure or for the rest of your life.

    Ignore ignore ignore...then click delete, then get on with your life having the assurity that you've beaten the low life scammers at their own game...Karma!

  • October 13, 2017 at 3:12 PM by an anonymous user from: Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa

    Oh God, I got this email scam and I replied to it...they sent me the lottery certificate and the visa card from RBC bank in UK and the bank statement, saying I have one 2million dollars.

    The most confusing part is that I received the second email from "RBC BANK" confirming the price and the letter of collection plus photo of RBC visa card.

    I received an email from Angela C Elvis which said that my email address won in the Russia 2018 World Cup Lottery Program.

    Is that also a scam as the previous one you mentioned.

    The sender's name is David moon.

    • October 12, 2017 at 8:00 AM by info

      Yes, it is a scam.

  • October 4, 2017 at 5:53 AM by an anonymous user from: Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa

    What can be done with my ID that has been sent to the scammers?

    • October 4, 2017 at 5:59 AM by info

      It can be used to commit fraud. Report the matter to police in case it is used for that purpose.

  • September 24, 2017 at 11:05 AM by an anonymous user from: Yangon, Rangoon, Myanmar

    Hello,

    I've also received that letter from same email. I didn't believed it, but I sent to claim application with my ID @ account last two day without searching first

    now they reply me with disbursement of claim letter and award winning certificates.

    Now,I also know this is a lottery scam. I've read about this scam just here

    What I do next step?

    Is it a scam for another step. Am I almost a victim.

    Please, advise.

    • September 24, 2017 at 11:31 AM by info

      It is the second part of the scam to trick you into sending them money or more information. So, just delete the emails and stop responding to them.

      • September 29, 2017 at 11:39 AM by an anonymous user from: Mandalay, Myanmar

        Thanks for the reply and advice.

  • September 18, 2017 at 3:32 PM by an anonymous user from: Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa

    I received the email but I send them nothing. I Google and checked everything until I found out that its a scum.

    Thanks.

  • September 4, 2017 at 3:18 AM by an anonymous user from: Nairobi, Kenya

    Just received this email that claims I am one of the winners, how can I win and yet have never participated in such a lottery. I am grateful that I took to the website to search and confirm its genuine. I could have been a victim.

  • August 30, 2017 at 5:58 PM by an anonymous user from: Freetown, Western Area, Sierra Leone

    I could have been a victim but thank god I read this article. They asked for my personal information, financial criteria and I must comply but before jumping hastily to sending the money I took my time to research and thankfully this article contributed to aiding me to cancel my plans for this so called scam. I really commend this article and I hope more will be sensitized to get to know the fraudulent activities of these scammers. My question is, do FIFA lottery programs seldom operate or exist? If yes, what winners must be expected to fulfill?

    • September 2, 2017 at 2:36 PM by an anonymous user from: Durban, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa

      Me too, got those scam messages from scammers who directed me to eMail holders to get access.

    • August 30, 2017 at 9:56 PM by info

      There is no such lottery and FIFA has never done such a lottery.

    I received an email this morning saying I'd won £2 million - sadly too good to be true! Googled immediately and saw it was a scam, which is as I suspected.

  • August 17, 2017 at 6:29 PM by an anonymous user from: Milan, Lombardy, Italy

    Today, I also received this email. Why? How can they have my email address? I didn't send anything. How could you think that someone gives you some much money?

    I'm from Italy.

  • August 17, 2017 at 11:45 AM by an anonymous user from: Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia

    Thank god I checked online about this. I also received the email. Almost become idiot by this scammer..

  • August 8, 2017 at 10:20 PM by an anonymous user from: Randburg, Gauteng, South Africa

    So this is a bunch of lies I did get a message from the scammers and I almost believe it; so there isn't such a competition.

    • August 8, 2017 at 10:28 PM by info

      No, there is no such competition. Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to collect a so-called lottery prize, it is a scam.

    I was sent the message that I won the FIFA World cup 2018 coco-cola lottery competition. Luckily, I did a search on the internet and found out that it was a scam.

    Thanks for making it known to everyone this scam.

  • July 25, 2017 at 5:54 AM by an anonymous user from: Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa

    Hi All,

    I am from Brakpan Gauteng South Africa. Also received email that say you have won 2 000 000.00 pounds sterling in a random draw of email address in association with FIFA Microsoft and coca cola. Also was ask to pay ZAR 3000 for secure courier delivery of a VISA card ATM card where the money was paid into.

    I had suspicion about this. The card was issued from RBC Royal Bank UK. This is a scam. You can also verify it by sending email to ukfinancialcrime@rbc.com.

    I almost fell for this scam but learned a very expensive lesson from the past.

    Thanks for your posts

    Hope anyone see this and forward information to all your friend.

    Good day

    This is a true article, I have one of their letter on my email right now where they send you a certificate of your winning, some letter that looks like a bank status and a picture of a VisaCard with your name on it, when you've replied to this email they send another email asking that you pay an amount of ZAR3000(Three Thousand Rand) depending on which country they are scamming.

    The thing that makes it obvious is that it is a scam and is them asking you to make an instant cash send which any normal bank would not do.

    Keep up the good work guys, these articles help a lot of people that are not sure about the process you have to go through.

    Chantal.

  • July 3, 2017 at 10:03 AM by an anonymous user from: Sandton, Gauteng, South Africa

  • June 27, 2017 at 1:18 PM by an anonymous user from: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

    Be aware of scammers. I received an email stating that I won a cash prize of 34$ million rand. But you have to pay R3 000 courier insurance to them before they can send your prize. I searched the Net and found a lot of hard evidence that this is a scam. Please see emails from them that they use to scam people.

          My girl friend also got this same email yesterday from this scammers claiming she had won 2000.00 pounds sterlings in a lottery draw.

          It was so tempting to believe but I had my little suspicion and decided to make inquiries on the net only to see that she is not the only and first person to have received this message.

          I pray nobody falls victim to their scam anyway.
