"Viber's International Balloting Anniversary" Lottery Scam

Received via email:

"Hello I've been tricked by scammers at the Viber International Ballot Award

They told me to pay them $ 280 for the shipping cost,

They also told me that the Thai customs had slipped my bank card and I had to pay them 670 to clear the customs."

Hello!

I have some questions:

1. How is it possible that my number has come out a winner when I have not played in this lottery?

2. Then I can not give my confidential data, who guarantees that they will not be used by you?

3. How do I know if I will get this money?

Thank you.

Hello I got the same message too and am wondering about the simplicity, is it fraud?
