"AT&T World Apps International Ballot Award" Scam

There is NO "AT&T World Apps International Ballot Award". Therefore, AT&T customers who have received emails 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. This is because the fake email messages are being sent by lottery scammers and the fake website operated by them.

The "AT&T World Apps International Ballot Award" Scam

Subject: AT&T World Apps International ballot award
Congratulations!!!Your Mobile number has been selected as the auspicious champ of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars(400,000.00 USD)in the AT&T World Apps International ballot award draw. Payment Ref:VRZUS-VB/W779. Please contact ( appsballot@atntwirelesscomm.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 "AT&T World Apps International Ballot Award" 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.
