Remember, never send money to anyone who asks you to do so in order to collect a lottery prize. Once you are asked to do so, it is a scam created by lottery scammers who are attempting to trick you into sending them money. Once the scammers receive the money, they will take it and disappear, leaving the victims without the lottery prize or money they were promised.

    Good morning I have received this message on Instagram. So my question is, how do I go about reporting this scam. They also contacted me asking me for $500.

    "Congratulations to your lucky Instagram profile was one of the lucky profiles that was selected through our computerized database roaming profile selector to earn the sum of $800.000.00 and a new Samsung Galaxy s8 phone from the online promotion of Samsung 2018 here on Instagram . Are you interested in claiming your winnings?"
