Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
There is no "VIBER International balloting award programme" lottery. Therefore, recipients of messages claiming that they are winners in the same lottery or award programme asked not to follow the instructions in them. They should just delete the messages because they are fakes that being sent by lottery scammers to their potential victims. The scammers trick their potential victims into sending them their information by claiming that they are winners in a lottery that doesn't exist. Once they have received the information, they will subsequently ask their potential victims to send money in order to receive their so-called lottery prize.
But, once the scammers receive their potential victims' information they will sell it to other scammers who will constantly contact the potential victims in an attempt to scam them. And, if the potential victims send their money to the scammers, they will take it and disappear leaving the victims depressed, and hundreds or thousands of dollars broke.

But also I got a message in viber on September 8th, I have photos of the docs sent to me for completing them, I don't know if it is true, we asked for google info and we sent them 390, the dollar that the lawyer asked us to get a document in court, whether the documents allowed the bankruptcy to pour the money earned into my account.
