"JB Finance Limited" Lottery Scams Being Sent by Scammers

The "JB Finance Limited" email below is a scam. The fake email is being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into believing they are winners in a fake English Premiership Mobile promotion or lottery. The scammers will ask their potential victims to send personal information and subsequently ask them to send money in order to receive their so-called lottery or promotion prize.

But, legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send money in order to receive a lottery prize.
