Lottery Emails

There has been an ever-growing number of scam lottery emails advising consumers they have hit the jackpot. We ask that you consider the following when you receive a solicitation of this kind.

• They do not notify winners by email.
• You cannot win without first buying a lottery ticket
• They do not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to.
• They do not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to communicate with you.
• They do not tell you to call a mobile phone number.
• They do not tell you to keep your winnings secret.
• They will never ask a winner to pay any fees up front (like taxes or a security deposit) to receive a prize, lottery or sweepstake!

Remember!

If you don’t recognize who sent you the email – delete it!
