Google values your right to privacy! Your information is 100% secured and will be used exclusively for the purpose of this award only.

The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Google Promotion Award Team has reached a decision from its headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, leading to a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the Google interactive Lotteries Board Commission.

Yours faithfully,

Sundar Pichai
Chief Executive Officer of Google

"Google Annual Promotion Reward 2018" Lottery Scam
an anonymous user from: Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan

I also received an e-mail attached with a letter from Sundar Pichai, CEO (with a signature on Google's seal), congratulating me on winning the E-mail Electronic Online Sweepstakes Organized by Google, in conjunction with- held on August 1st 2018 in London UK.
It says I am among the Twelve (12) selected winners of 950,000.00 Great British Pounds each. After some correspondences, they requested me to pay 550 or 600 Pounds for the delivery of Cheque.
I did not pay because it seemed a scam. I agree to the someone's comment that Google will not conduct such a big lottery or sweepstake as a promotion.
