The "HSBC" Lottery Scam Created by Online Scammers
I have been receiving the email below claiming I have won a certain amount of monies in the Canadian Lotto 649, which will be loaded to a HSBC Bank visa card. I even received two certificates. Please beware of crooks who try to con people out of there hard earned money.
HSBC Bank has issued an advisory cautioning customers and banks about fraudulent offers, lottery winnings, and cheap fund offers. Members of public have also been cautioned against making any remittance towards participation in such schemes/offers from unknown entities
