Scamming - Fraud
The "Charriot Award Promotion Computer Ballot Sweepstake" email below is a lottery scam being sent by scammers to their potential victims. Therefore, recipients are asked to delete it. Scammers use fake email like the one below to trick potential victims into sending their personal information. This is how scammers collect their potential victims' personal information.
Once the scammers have received the requested personal information, they will ask their potential victims to send money in order to receive their so-called lottery prize. This is how the scammers steal money from their victims. But, the victims send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear leaving their victims without the so-called prize they were promised.
