I also had a same message on viber and they have sent me emails and asked me to send my identification information. Furthermore they have mentioned that I’m the legal beneficiary of this lottery draw and they will pay my money after the application process. I don’t know, what should I do for this please give me a solution.🙏
They are lying, it is a scam sent by thieves, so ignore them.
Also got this congratulation as above but from ongoing-2019 super maestro lucky draw. Is this also a scam?
Please forward the email to us, so we may investigate.

Thank you very much for this timely information but too late to know about this, because I am already a victim.I had already spent $3,090 US because I Strongly sold out by their explanation on how to claim the award won by me. The amount they are asking for is for the clearance from the Finance Ministry in Thailand and a clearance certificate from the International Monetary Fund I.M.F. And that doesn’t end there. They still need additional $1,680 US in order to finalize the the transfer of funds to my account. Now that I know I will not send the $ 1,680 anymore.Thank you very much. Now I’m awakened from a deep sleep. Welfredo,Japan
