The "2019 Facebook Lottery Promotion Award" is a Scam

The 2019 Facebook Lottery Promotion Award is a Scam

There is no "2019 Facebook Lottery Promotion Award". Therefore, Facebook and other online users are asked to delete messages or Facebook posts, which claim that they have won the same lottery or promotion. Also, they should not follow the instructions in the messages or posts. This is because the messages or posts are being sent by lottery scammers. Every month, thousands of the same lottery scamming messages or social networking posts are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending their personal information and money to claim bogus prizes or lottery winnings.

Victims of the "2019 Facebook Lottery Promotion Award" scam should report it to the police and should know that legitimate lottery companies will never ask their winners to send them their personal information, or send them money in order to receive their lottery winnings.

I was a victim of the "Lottery Scam". I kept being told I was on the list of winners. SUE BARBARA SMITH conned me into sending $10,000.00 cash to a Rebecca Cooper. Beware of her name before it is too late

Je viens de recevoir une demande de Mme Sue Barbarasmith Smith me disant que j'aI gagné un montant de minimum 90000 (selon le montant déboursé pour les frais de livraison)me semble que quand tu gagne tu n'as pas à payer pour avoir le prix alors je pense que c'est faux


I have just received a request from Mrs. Sue Barbarasmith Smith telling me that I have won an amount of at least 90,000 (depending on the amount paid for delivery costs) seems to me that when you win you do not have to pay to have the price then I think it's wrong

The "2019 Facebook Lottery Promotion Award" is a Scam
an anonymous user from: Inola, Oklahoma, United States

Hello, just this evening at about 8:00 p.m. CST, I received a friend's request on Facebook.
It showed we had two mutual friends.
Those names were actual friends of mine. I should have contacted both of them before accepting this request.
That was my first mistake. I added a woman by the name of Karen Hunt.
She said she worked for Facebook as an Online Coordinator. She then asked if I had been contacted by anyone else about my winnings before her.
I had not. She said my name was picked by an automated system and was one of 10 winners of $800,000 US dollars.
That was too good to be true. I have been contacted like this before.
So I am not gullible.
I asked, Is this for real? What is the catch?
She sent me a video of a woman holding up a card that looked like a credit card. Saying, "Thank you Facebook so much for my winnings."
She then sent me pictures of past winners.
Holding up those large fake checks. By this time, I thought it was time for me to look up and see if this Lottery was real.
As I thought it was a scam. I messaged her back and said she was a scammer.
I sent her copies of what I found on the internet.
I heard nothing else from her.
I am keeping the messages to use for evidence. People please be ware!
