Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Lottery - Donation
There are unscrupulous people using several social media and email scams like the one below to impersonate Patrick and Frances Connolly to obtain personal financial information from individuals. Patrick and Frances Connolly will never ask you to share your financial information electronically. If you have received the same emails please delete them, or social media messages when you receive them. And, Patrick and Frances Connolly, who won almost £115m in the New Year's Day EuroMillions draw, will never ask you to send money in order to receive a donation from her.
Remember, once you are asked to send money in order to receive a donation or lottery prize, it is scammers or thieves attempting to trick you into sending them your money.

I really want to ask if it was true that Patrick Connolly has been making donation because I had been contacted in Africa in one of the medical organisation that was strongly hit by covid 19 here in A frica
I know now that I was scammed out of a lot of money. What can I do about this.
Is everyone receiving the scam emails also received a deposit cheque?
I received a deposit cheque says it was from Frances and Patrick Connolly to Mr Bobby Cromwell the foreign remittance head. Is is it also a scam?
