"BET-365 Group" Lottery Scams Being Sent by Online Scammers

I got this one in my spam:

"Your Email ID qualified and have won £106,000,000 GBP in the on going BET365 Online Jackpot Promo 2022/2023. This donation is to help support families worldwide.

Contact Person,
Mrs. Lilly K. Walton
Claims Director."

Lucky me!

Rotten b******s! I wonder how they got my number since I'm not, or ever have been, a member of any online betting site. Just goes to show you can't trust anyone, even if they seem legit.

Me too, got this text message and claim it.. d**n fraud and scam people

Just got one of these texts, thanks for confirming my suspicions.

HI I received this text and have only just answered it back. D**n it my son saying that it is a scam and I wasn't sure, now I know how disappointing. OH well.

All exactly the same with what they had sent to my phone number and email. It's obviously a scam from people who are doing stupid things.

BET365 ..... since when do you need £950 pounds to open an account! I told them I already had a HALIFAX OFFSHORE ACCOUNT and could pass on the details so they could bank my winnings. And for some strange reason haven’t heard back from them😢 all that winnings down the drain!

Received this scam.

from 61435818586
is my 6.20 a.m. call scam apparently 6,500,000 winner

There using the same voucher code to redeem your $6,500,000, but using a different URL in the text now www.365au.net

A very convincing scam, if one is prepared to overlook the many obvious grammatical and spelling errors.

Re the BET365 Lottery win scam currently doing the rounds.

There are some serious grammar and spelling issues in the correspondence and documents sent from so called "Bet365" group, however the obvious alert is the email address for the "supposed" bank that you are supposed to send English Pounds 950 to "open" an account!

The Bank is supposedly called Halifax Finance Limited, but the email address is "HaliFAS" not "HaliFAX"

All documents are simply computer generated, have no authenticity or proper letterhead, and contain numerous grammatical errors.

DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THEM, EVER, AS YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN, AND THERE IS NO PRIZE, JUST DESPAIR!

Do these people think we are all stupid?

Me too, just received a text saying my number won. Go to website and claim...

Just received the text from mobile number 0478103653 stating:

"Congrats!: Your mobile number is selectes as winner of £6,500,000 on BET365 Promo. Go to www.betauc.net to claim. enter Ref: BET36519AU."

Badly scam.

Just received the scam. D**n, thought I was a millionaire. once more ..LOL so much for Telstra and their security ...

The scammers are using this website: www.betauc.net

I have just been advised by text message on my mobile phone that I have won 6,500,000 GBP in the BET365 Jackpot.
I am aware this is a scam!

I received the text re winning GBP6.5m. Knew it was a scam, but wonder how the scammers are accessing bet365 clients and their mobile numbers? Should we be concerned about the security of their database?

Here is another scam:

I received the BET365 text message exactly as it is above.
I asked myself, how did they get my number? I'm not a gambler.
Even if it is genuine, why would I give my details to a total stranger?
I blocked the number and then deleted the message.

I also decided to google the site and came across this handy site with sound advice.

Moral of the story is:
1. Don't get excited by the money on offer
2. Do your research/due diligence to check the veracity of the site.
3. If can't find anything, check with ATO or AFP.
4. If it's still too good to be true - don't proceed! There should always be evidence of existence of someone you can contact.
5. Do't risk giving your details to strangers - they could steal your identity.

Cheers and stay alert!
