How Can I Protect Myself Against Scams?
Common Traits of Lottery Scams
If the communication has been sent from anything other than that lottery’s official email address then be very wary. Lotteries do not use free webmail addresses like Hotmail and Gmail to contact users. Any correspondence you receive from geolottery.org will have a “@geolottery.org” email address in the sender field.
Often the scams require a response within a certain amount of time. This is in order to pressure victims into sending money or personal details before they have a chance to seek advice or investigate the validity of the mail.
Geolottery.org will never ask you for money or “fees” to cover the release of any prize you might win.
For similar reasons scammers may request confidentiality as a requirement for paying out the ‘prize’. Real lotteries like geolottery.org love to celebrate their winners and give them their moment in the sun – anyone who asks you to keep quiet about a win should be treated with suspicion.
Fraudulent correspondence can usually be identified through the poor spelling, grammar and syntax of its content.
Scammers are notoriously vague about how the “process” works. They always have another lie, another fee to pay and another excuse to feed their victim. Geolottery.org is an honest company that prides itself on ensuring that every entrant understands how our draws and prizes work.
What to Do if You Have Received a Lottery Scam?
If you have received what appears to be a fraudulent text, email or letter then there are a few simple steps that you should follow:
Don’t send money.
Don’t follow any links or open any attachments in emails.
Don’t respond, you’ll just encourage more scam mail.
Don’t disclose any personal or banking details.
Break off all contact with the scammer in question. Block the phone numbers or email addresses they use.
If you have already made contact with a suspected fraudster then break off all communication immediately and alert your bank straight away if you have passed on any financial or personal details.
