"Verizon World Apps International Ballot Award Draw" Scam at verizonballot.com

Verizon World Apps International Ballot Award Draw Scam at verizonballot.com

There is NO "Verizon World Apps International Ballot Award Draw" and the website verizonballot.com is a fake. Therefore, Verizon customers who received email or text messages claiming that they are winners in this so-called lottery are asked to delete them and should not follow the instructions in them. Also, Verizon customers should not visit the fake and fraudulent website www.verizonballot.com. This is because the fake email messages are being sent by lottery scammers and the fake website operated by them.

The "Verizon World Apps International Ballot Award Draw" Scam

"Congratulations!!!Your Mobile number has been selected as the auspicious champ of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars(400,000.00 USD) in the Verizon World Apps International ballot award draw. Paymennt Ref:VRZUS-VB/W779. Please contact ( ballot@verizonballot.com ) to receive your won prize fund. Thank you for being part of our community, and for helping to connect the world free."

The fake email message is being sent out to potential victims by lottery scammers to trick them into believing they are winners in the so-called "Verizon World Apps International Ballot Award Draw" promotion. The scammers make the scam more convincing by claiming the potential victims were selected randomly through a computer ballot system, therefore, no participation was needed.

If the potential victims respond to the fake lottery email message, the scammers will respond asking them to send personal information in order to collect their so-called prize. Once the information has been sent, the scammers will ask the potential victims to send money, which they will claim is for taxes, processing fees, delivery fee, or some other fee. If the potential victims send the money, the lottery scammers will take it and disappear. The victims, on the other hand, will not receive the prize or money that they were promised and will be a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke.

This is why online users should never send money or personal information to anyone who claims that they are winners in some so-called lottery. Legitimate lottery companies do not ask their winners to send money or personal information in order to collect their prizes.

    • July 16, 2018 at 5:36 AM by info

      Yes, it is a fake.

  • May 23, 2018 at 2:53 PM by an anonymous user from: Frankfurt, Hesse, Germany

    I transferred 4529 USD for the fake lottery prize to their bank accounts in Thailand. I borrowed that money. Please tell me, is there any way for me to take back my money? I am really poor person.

    • May 23, 2018 at 3:19 PM by info

  • May 23, 2018 at 4:21 AM by an anonymous user from: Pristina, Republic of Kosovo

    Whyyyyy, it is to good to be true. Can't the good be true too?

    I received that message too and i couldn't believe at first but then i said maybe it's true.

    I didn't tell anybody except my dad,but he immediately knew and told me to delete that number and not touch anything because its fake and it will just ask about my personal account info and it will take all of my money.

    I searched that email that they gave it to me in the end of the message and then this is the first page i got into and from the comments that were here i realised that i am not the only one who has the same lucky "to win 400,000.00 dollars" which are 341,640.00 euros ( and yes i looked how much are 400,000.00 dollars"

    Because i was excited just to think that finally i was able to build a new house for my family just at age 18,and then to pay for my college and yes it is to good to win 400,000.00 dollars with out doing anything, so in the future my goals are to work hard and to take good care of my family)

    I felt dissapointed at my self; why i believed at them but thanks god it didn't last to long!
