Your Facebook Account Has Won You $5,000,000 USD Lottery Scam

Did you win $5,000,000 from the Facebook Lottery? No, you didn't. There is NO Facebook lottery, therefore, recipients of fake emails like the one below, which claims they have won $5,000,000, are asked not to follow the instructions in them. The fake emails are being sent by lottery scammers who are attempting to steal their potential victims' information and money, by tricking them into believing they have won some so-called Facebook lottery.

Remember, once you are asked to send personal information and money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.
