"Googles 18th Anniversary Winner" Lottery or Award Scam
The email message below, which claims that the recipients have been selected as winners in "Google's 18th Anniversary Award" for using Google services is a lottery scam. There is no such Google lottery, and Google will never ask online users to send their personal information via email messages. This type of lottery scam will ask recipients to send their personal information and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called prizes.
Remember, Google is not taking part in or endorsing any lottery games, so if you receive an email claiming that you have won some lottery prize endorsed by Google, it is a scam.

There is no prize, so please do not send your hard earned money to these cyber criminals. If you send your personal information, these cyber criminals will use it to further scam you. And, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.
This lottery scam is similar to the following:
- Beware of "Google Anniversary Promotion Award" Lottery Scam
- Beware of "2016 Google Anniversary Award” Lottery Scam
- Lottery Scam: "Google Award 2014 - Google Promotion Award"
