Fraudulent (Scam) Emails – what to do first
Lottery scam emails are increasing at an alarming rate.
Scam emails try to persuade the receiver to submit personal information or to part with money as an up front payment in order to release a winning lottery prize.
If you have not purchased a ticket for the UK National Lottery or EuroMillions, you will not have won a prize, and you should treat the email with absolute caution.
Signs of a fraudulent email:
· There may be a sense of urgency, eg ‘respond within X days or your Account will be closed’ or to ‘keep your winning notification confidential’ until ‘your claim has been processed’.
· There may be embedded links (links within the body of the email) that look legitimate because they contain all or part of a real company’s name. These links may take you to spoof sites which ask you to update personal information, or may download key—logging software onto your PC
Spoof websites can be difficult to spot. To make sure you are on our site, type http://www.lukilottery.com/into your browser and see if you arrive at the same place
· If the email says ‘Winning Notification’, ‘Lottery Sweep Stake’, ‘Congratulations Ref No.XXX’, or mentions ‘British National Lottery’ in the text, the email you have received is not from LUKI.CO.LTD;
· We don’t ask for any Player information like name, address or bank details on an email.
· It is unlikely that an e-mail from an unspecified source such as a hotmail or yahoo address would be offering the type of service you would expect from a legitimate registered company dealing with millions of pounds or dollars.
In our communications we will only use the following addresses:
· mailto:admin@lukilottery.com
· mailto:sales@lukilottery.com
· mailto:info@lukilottery.com
There is no need to contact us if you have received a lottery related scam (fraudulent) email.
