"Pepsi Promotional Company UK" Lottery Scam

Online users who have received emails like the one below, claiming they are winners in the "Pepsi Promotional Company Uk" promotion or lottery should delete them. They should also not follow the instructions in the fake emails, which are being sent by lottery scammers to their potential victims. Remember, there is no such "Pepsi Promotional Company UK" lottery and the lottery scammers behind the scam trick their potential victims into sending them money. The scammers do this by claiming their potential victims are winners in the fake or bogus lottery and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called prizes or money.

But, once the lottery scammers receive the money sent by their victims, they will take it and disappear. The victims, on the other hand, will be left heart broken after they have realized that they have been scammed.

This is why it is important that online users never send personal or money in order to receive money or lottery prizes. Legitimate companies do not ask their winners to do send money or personal information in order to receive their prize. Therefore, once online users are asked to send money to receive money or prizes, it is a lottery scammer attempting to scam them or trick them into sending money.
