209-714-718 - Scammers are Sending Fraudulent Text Messages from It.

I just got a text from a friend of mind asking had I heard about it. She said she got her money by FedX and saw my name on the list of winners. She I just have to text Sarah Robert at 209-714-718. But, I knew it was a scam. Contacted my friend via telephone who confirmed it was not her.

The scammers will claim you need to pay some form of fees in order to receive your prize. But, once the fees are paid, the scammers will disappear and you will not receive the prize or money you were promised.

Remember, never send money in order to receive a lottery prize because this is how lottery scammers trick people into sending them money, or this is how they make their money. And, legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send money in order to claim a prize.
