Everyone of us want to get rich. If you don't want the money, then something is wrong with you. It is an opportunity of a lifetime that only knock once and cannot be repeated again for another chance. But this dream will never come.
Receiving an e-mail letter telling you that you won 1 million dollars from electronic raffle where your e-mail address was selected to receive the said reward. It is too good to be true but is also too bad to know that it is not what it seemed to be.
How can you win such a big amount of money when you did not even entered into this kind of lottery game in your whole life? How a certain initiator give you such an amount so easily? But what it hurts is that you have to pay in advance a certain fixed amount as processing fee of a thousand dollars to get your winnings which is not there. Once you take the bait, goodbye to your send money order. You can no longer contact them bringing your hard-earned money with them. They are the one that won the lottery and not you because you give your money to them without knowing that it is only a scam.
How this scam work?
-Informing you that you won in an online balloting.
-They asked your full name, mailing address (city/state/zip code), age, sex, occupation, contact number (cell or home).
-You are being instructed to send an advance fee payment through Western Union.
-They will send a check to you in US dollars through a Certified Cashier's Check drawn from the Bank of America.
-That you have to indicate the transaction code they give you in claiming the prize.
-Shipping fee for sending the Cashier Check to your permanent address.
-Asking for deposit fee temporarily paid by the lottery company in your behalf as the money was deposited in the bank.
-A check conversion fee in converting the wire transfer payment into a Certified Cashier's Check.
-In claiming the prize, you are being referred to another person who handles your claim as a claim agent.
Don't be lured into accepting the prize. This is only part of their grand design to scam you with your advance fee transmission.
