I Tested Fraud Online Lottery Notification

1. I got a winning lottery notification from so called Yahoo agent stating that I have won a lottery by Yahoo by virtue of being its email user.

2. I decided to check out the same and responded to them with false name and address and other details.

3. I got another notification which stated that I need to furnish an affidavit to get the funds released. I responded to them saying am from India thus how do they expect me to get that affidavit regarding my genuineness.

4. As a last step they sent me an Email with a barrister address who could have had helped me get that affidavit.

5. The barrister demanded an amount of Pound 500 almost equal to Rs 40000/- and directed me to get the same deposited in his account.

6. Thus the modus operandi was to get the rs 50000/- in their account and than pop up another demand after demand and you keep on depositing the money in their account without getting anything in return.

7. I countered them with facts that they are fraudsters as I cross checked from Yahoo and they had denied such lottery existence.

8. Thereafter these fraudsters stopped troubling me.

Avoid Responding to Lottery Winning Notifications

1. I have seen that I get approx 2 Emails daily stating that I have won a lottery and a certain million amount of mi ne has been deposited with a third party bank.

2. Now to claim that lottery money I have to respond to them with my address, phone and bank details for successful transfer of money.

3. In case you respond than you are trapped as now they have got your personal information including address which can be misused.

4. So beware of these fraud lent Emails as nothing comes free in this world.

Be Wary of Online Shopping Scams

1. I found an interesting article for safe online tips on the web. Have a look as the information is worth the wait for the time required for its loading depending on internet loading speed.

Beaware of Fraudlent Emails

1. I keep on getting numerous Emails which says I have won a million dollar in Lotto lottery or Yahoo has chosen you as a winner of the month and even send copy of gift certificates duly endorsed with names.

2. The main purpose of such Emails is to lure you to pay them in cash for fulfilling certain requirements to get the cash from the lottery agent and once you pay up you are trapped.

3. Alternatively you are trapped if you happen to give your credit card with vital information. So beaware of these fraudlent Emails as its basic purpose is only to trap your greed and make you pay for your greed.
