I have been messaged by Sir James in my tagged account, saying I won lottery and choose my acct as a winner of 1.5000 million dollars. Is it legit or scam?
It is a scam.
I was emailed that I have won yesterday and was told to give my full name address mobile number to which I did but now I found out that it's a scam just by doing a bit of researching in here, so my question is what should I do
Just be careful going forward because the scammers will contact you and attempt to trick you into sending them money.
