HOW TO BEAT LOTTERY FRAUDSTERS
Fraudulent activities on the Internet are increasing worldwide and a
disturbing menace which can cost unsuspecting victims dearly in lost funds.
Lottery scam emails are frequently circulated
with the aim of collecting personal information relating to identification
and financial account details, etc.
We receive details of many dubious emails
from members and the public from all over the world. You can be assured that
these unsolicited communications have nothing to do with
e-lottery. Another
reassuring fact is that our website and systems are secure – protected by
the latest sophisticated technology and appropriate security.
However, you must always be aware of the
existence of fraudsters on the Internet - cunning operators completely
focused on financial gain and their tactics vary. So if you ever have any
doubts about an email – delete it. If you ever have concerns about lottery
scams don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help.
The following are a few suggestions on how to
protect yourself.
-
1. Never provide personal or financial
information.
-
2. Don’t be drawn into making an ‘up
front’ payment for a lottery prize that probably doesn’t exist.
-
3. Beware of links which could lead you
to so-called ‘spoof sites’ set up to extract information from you, like
updating personal records which could provide the means to reach or even
access your account.
-
4. Whenever you want to discuss your
account with
e-lottery, we will always verify your identity by asking specific
security questions. Our customer care team do not have access to your
full password.
