The Euro Apple iPhone Lotto Scams Being Sent By Lottery Scammers

There is no "Euro Apple iPhone Lotto" that is giving away thousands or millions of dollars. Therefore, email messages like the one below, which claim that the recipients are lottery winners in a so-called "Euro Apple iPhone Lotto" are scams. The email messages were NOT sent by Apple, but by cyber-criminals or scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information in order to collect their so-called lottery prize. Remember, never send your information or send money to anyone who claims that you have won the lottery. Legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send money or send their personal information via email or text message.

Congratulations! 750,000 Euro Apple Iphone Lotto send Email:appleiphonepromo31@gmail.com

Recipients of the lottery scam email messages should delete them, and recipients who have already sent their information should be careful next time, because the cyber-criminals will use that information in an attempt to scam them. Once cyber-criminals or scammers have received their potential victims’ information, they will continue to call or send them messages, in an attempt to scam them.

I received a winning message and sent them a phone number and e-mail address, and I am afraid that they will steal details from the email or from the phone, is it possible for them?

I reported their email as spam

Is there anything to fear?

Nov. 16, 2018 at 6:47 AM by info

No, there is nothing to fear. They cannot access your information using your email address or phone number.

They can only do so if you give them your online account username and password, or credentials.

Nov. 16, 2018 at 5:10 AM by an anonymous user from: Netanya, Merkaz, Israel

If I sent details such as phone number, age, can you do something?

Nov. 16, 2018 at 6:45 AM by info

They cannot do anything with your phone, but call you. So, be careful of scammers or thieves calling you and attempting to trick you into sending them money or more personal information.
