Remember, once they (scammers) have received their potential victims' personal information, they will use the information to trick the potential victims into sending money, which they will claim is for some advance fees, which will cover banking and transfer costs, insurance payments or tax that the potential victims need to pay before they can receive the so-called donated money. But, if the victims send their money, the scammers will steal it and may continue to trick the victims into sending more money, with the promise of receiving the donated money the scammers claim they would receive.

Recipients of the Lisa and John Robinson lottery donation scam emails are asked not to respond to or follow the instructions in them, they should delete them instead.

It is important to remember that when someone contacts you, claiming that you have won the lottery or you are the recipient of millions of dollars, and asks you to send money in order to receive your lottery winnings or prizes, it is a SCAM. Legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send money in order to receive their prizes or winnings. And, why would lottery winners who are allegedly donating millions of dollars to you, want you to send a few hundred or thousand dollars for banking and transfer costs, insurance payments or tax? Well, the money that the scammers want the victims to send, which the scammers claim is for taxes, bank transfer cost, insurance or other expenses, is what the scammers will steal. And, the victims, on the other hand, will never receive the winnings, prizes or money that they were promised.

So, once you are asked to send money in order to receive money, it is a scam.

Received this scam:
"Dear Friend, My Name Is Lisa Robinson
Greetings of the day to you. I got your response and firstly I want to congratulate you for being selected to be a part of this life changing project. To personally benefit from what the Lord has done for me and also have the opportunity to touch lives around you while making yours better. You do not have to be skeptical about it as this is not a scam, it is absolutely a blessing from God. I do believe that putting smiles on the faces of other people by reaching out to some individuals, the less privileged around the world, the local fire departments, the Red Cross, Community assistance, and charity organizations in Haiti, Asia, Africa, Europe, and some other parts of the world is the right thing to do.
This New Year I have decided to donate the sum of $1,200,000 USD to you as part of my annual charity project to raise hopes and plant joy in the bosoms lives of many individuals in your local area in this pandemic economic crisis from my Millions dollars Jackpot Lottery winning funds. I prayed and searched over the Internet for someone to donate this money to in your state.

My Sympathy for the sorrows of others has been heightened by the tragedy in my life. My father took his own life in 2005,a few years after, My daughter died of overdoes in 2010 two months before her 27th birthday. I am doing this not to gain fame, as a matter of fact, I have decided to put this away from the media and my sole purpose of doing this was as a result of a long talk with my only surviving children and my husband who has always advised me to donate to strangers in this doom and gloom before my sunset. because we know that there are lots of families out there who live on paycheck to paycheck and others that cannot take care of their financial obligations. Although I won these lottery funds, we have helped some charity organizations, family members, strangers and friends from my winnings.
To facilitate the disbursement process of the money: $1,200,000.00 that has been solely donated to you, please send us your information so that we may forward the details to the payout bank immediately. I implore you to touch as many lives as you can by stretching a helping hand to the less privileged around you which is the sole objective of this donation.
In view of all these, we want you to know that measures have been put in place for our intentions to be implemented swiftly and by so doing, we request that you re-confirm your details once again so that we can immediately forward your information to my lawyer who will guide you through.

Please be aware that we do not need your information for any other purpose, we want these information because we need to have a correct record of whom and where we are donating to so as to establish a better relationship with you as well and because of the Identity theft going around the internet which I have been a victim in the past, I do not want to ask you for your ID as we do not want to leave an impression in your mind that I want to steal your identity).
We would like you to re-assure me that you will follow our instructions and help me fulfill this dream before I would provide you with information on how you will receive this funds, and if you feel you cannot handle this project you should inform me, so I can quickly look for another individual to donate the money to.

If you have any question please don't hesitate to ask. So I will be waiting for your incentive response..
By the way, this is my alternative email: info@robinsongenealogy.org
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lisa Robinson"
