If the scammers are contacted, they will instruct their potential victims to send money, personal and financial information in order to receive their so-called lottery prize. But, the potential victims will never receive the prize or money they were promised. The scammers will take their money or information and disappear.
If you were tricked in disclosing financial information to the scammers, please contact your bank for help.
