Lottery Scam Emails

Here at e-lottery Member Support, we receive so many enquiries regarding suspicious-looking emails, telling people that they have won a huge prize.

Some of these emails request your personal and/or bank details, and several of our Members have actually lost money because some of the hoaxers ask you to send them money up front (as a tax, administration fee, etc.) in order to release your prize winnings. The hoaxers intend to get money out of you or steal your identity.

These emails are not connected with e-lottery in any way. We do not give out your personal details or email address to any third party, and our system is secure.

If your e-lottery syndicate has a genuine win, we send you an email announcing your win, but we do not ask you for any details or to send us anything. We simply ask you to log into your Member’s website to check the amount of the win.

If you receive a suspect email, we recommend that you delete the email without replying, as a response will confirm your email address as valid and may lead to it being added to other spam lists.

In addition, you should not use links contained in such messages (click-through) as they may direct you to fake company sites whose purpose is to obtain personal information (address, login, account numbers etc.) by appearing to be a legitimate business. Instead of clicking on the links you can type the site name in the browser address window.
