the "National Lottery, FIFA, Microsoft, Coca-Cola and Russian 2018" Scam

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."

I received one today, but, it claimed to be from the International Olympic Committee. Beware.

I got the same email today....I new it was a scam ..I sent them my details without my identity document copy, that was my way of checkind if its legit but its not ....I did my very own diggings

I received the bogus lottery email and have pasted it below. Hopefully, scammers can be caught and charged.

I also receive this message then after it was silence. They also sent a SARS CETIFICATE AND LETTER FROM JUSTICE IN USA. THIS PEOPLE ARE USELESS.THANKS FOR ADVISING US."

I have also received the very same e-mail when I was trying to delete my old e-mails.

I was so happy but my inner voice kept telling me that its a scam though I was going to send my details but decided to goolge about it and there it was really a scam.

Good day. I just received a mail that my email adress won a big price and I must reply to capitalfinance-onet.eu.

I did sent a mail to find out about it because it to good to be true. An auto responder sent mail back that I will be contacted in the next 48hrs.

Good day, I received one e-mail around 10.04.2018 and it is also a FIFA lotto one.

I have followed the requests we are not at a point where they ask for my personal information yet or money and I have been able to get hold of the guy called Mrs Monica (funny name for a man and why just Monica without a surname)

However, I will keep updating you as to what they are saying should they request for personal info they will be the laughing stock because all my info will be incorrect and I will not leave anything out there will be vulga language in between, till I update you again.

I'm an older lady just received through the post a very official looking letter informing me I have been fortunate to have been chosen to be awarded a very large some of Money, of course it's a Scam!

I personally have No interest in the FIFA World Cup. However I will say it is a very clever official letter and can imagine some people could fall for this. Ending up replying making phone calls as requested and as a result losing their Money.

I don't understand why these scammers can't be caught thus protecting innocent vulnerable people. My letter is now In the Bin.

I have also received the same message telling me that I have won one million pounds from MICROSOFT ANNUAL MEGA LOTTERY and telling me to send 199 pounds if I want to claim the prize and the bank name is HSBC BANK IN LONDON is this not the conmen?

f.m

thank you very much for information about the National Lottery Scam.

Have received the same message telling me congratulations you have won....how comes on earth you win something you've never done any bet, those are conmen. I rejected and shown the guys my rear number plates.
Jeff-Nairobi

I received the same mail
As I never have won anything in my life I was happy. but deep down I knew it was a scam. still I send all my personal info excluding my bank details.

I am going through rough time in my life and wish such money can help my family
Am very disappointed that it is a scam.
I didnt send any money because I dont have a dime on my name.

All I sent is proof of identification which makes me worried now. what will the scammers do with it. Please help.

I get that message too But I knew it might be a scam. So I never sent any document or details to them..

I get so many messages fill of scam. I stopped sending any info about myself.

I got the same message

You are OK. Just be careful going forward because the scammers will contact you and attempt to trick you into sending them money or more information.

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!!

Hi, I received the same email...but I never sent them any money. Its a scam be careful..I'm from South Africa.

Hi,

I also recieve the same e-mail as well but I didn't notice any suspicious thing coz its was a conversation that lead me to take a risk. I send them money for delivery of my visa card, but I haven't receive my card, what a joke😀😀😀. And I want my money back guyz.

Hi, I've got the same e-mail and lucky I did not send any information

Yes its a scam, I got one also 28/11/17 (I'm in UK.)
You can see is a scam by the way its put together, word pad file, very poor...just delete it and stay safe. As the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is... Have a safe and happy Xmas and ignore the scum of the earth...

Same here, I receive that kind of email and since in my previous job I had been dealing with credential evaluation, the layout of the document was suspicious and I decided to track down this email address, boom, here I am, told that it's a scam. There is no chill on planet earth, it sounded too good to be true though.

Yes, it is a scam.

Good day,

We got an SMS 1st stating my phone number had been picked by FIFA lottery board and have won a shirt a laptop and 1.5million pounds.
The guy here in South Africa is called Gary Richardson he continues to call me to deposit R13.200 for mailing and insurance purposes. This is due to the delivery of the cheque.

I wish I had checked this first before sending my copy of my ID....some people are just wrong, busy scamming people...but they didn't ask for money or bank details.

They will ask for it next. That is how the scammers work. They get your personal information first, then they ask you for money.

Hi. I am from the Philippines. I was browsing thru my email when I noticed this same kind of email sent last year. It would have been so wonderful had it been true.

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

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!

I got the same email last night,I was not gonna fall into any trap I know criminal minds I have studied criminologist but I will share the email all over south Africa I hope nobody falls for the trap.

They first started buzzing our phones just for you to call them back with the 087/ 44/ 88 now they see the opportunity to use the FIFA & coca cola .I hope they check on this side those scammers they are not gonna win😠😠

I fell for this scam before I found this website. I already sent them my id copy.

Good Day!

5 days ago they send me a same message; they said that I won 3.9M $ from FIFA WORLD CUP RUSSIA ONLINE LOTTERY.

I reply and suddenly I think how come I won?! Then I google it and I read this article; thank God I didn't give my personal identity.

How they STOP this scam so they do not victimize other people?

I got the same email today lucky I googled it first before I did anything.

I recieved the email and now can see that this is a scam. The batch number and file ref numbers are the same as the one you used. Thanks i did not respond.

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 also received a similar message with a similar logo but not the same and these are the requirements below and the content of the email:

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.

Yes, it is a scam.

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

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

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply and advice.

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