Once potential victims contact the lottery scammers, thinking they are contacting The UK Mobile Lottery, the scammers will ask them to send personal information, and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called prizes, which the scammers will claim the money is for taxes or processing fees. They will then ask their potential victims to send the money via Western Union, MoneyGram or other money transfer services. Once the scammers have received their victims’ money, they will disappear, leaving the victim frustrated, depress, and a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke.

The same lottery scammers may contact their victims and attempt to scam them again using the personal information the victims sent to them, or they may sell their victims’ information to other lottery scammers, who will also attempt to scam the victims.

I also sent some information, but I also sent an email (innocently) purporting to believe them, but just wanting to check their genuineness. I did not send money and was not going to. Even if I believed they had £ 2750000 for me, I wouldn’t part with good money to get it.
If we know so much about this scam, why can’t hey be stopped? And dealt with by the law? They name Coca Cola in their terms and conditions, which I skim read, and name the English Premier League, surely they don’t want their names besmirched by these liars.
