Commentary:
A favourite trick of lottery scammers is to try to add a patina of legitimacy
to their fraudulent activities by naming genuine organizations in their scam
messages. For example, they may claim in their scam messages that a high
profile company such as Microsoft, Coca Cola, or Honda has sponsored the
prize on offer. Of course, these supposed endorsements are used without the
permission or knowledge of the named companies. Unfortunately, such fake
endorsements are often enough to convince gullible recipients that the
"lottery prize" is genuine.
A common and effective deployment of this method is to claim that the "Winning
Notification" email is from a genuine lottery organization. Often, the
scammers will use the same, or a very similar, name to that of a real
lottery. Even if the recipient is at first a little leery, he or she may be
convinced that the claims in the scam email are genuine after conducting a
web search on the name of the lottery and discovering the legitimate lottery
website. The genuine lottery website is likely to be professionally presented
and may even be operated by an official government organization. The
potential victim may erroneously believe that, by independently searching for
and discovering the genuine website, he or she has effectively confirmed the
information in the message. Thus, the illusion of legitimacy that the
scammers try to create is significantly enhanced and another innocent
Internet user may be victimized.
One real lottery that is almost continually targeted by lottery scammers is
The National Lottery in the UK. There are dozens of variations of these scam
messages, all claiming that the recipient has won money in the UK National
Lottery. As discussed above, people who come across the real National Lottery
website may be convinced that the scam message they received is genuine.
Those with prior knowledge of the National Lottery may also be more likely to
fall for the scam. The National Lottery Commission in the UK has posted a
warning about these scams on its website.
The aim of these scam emails is generally to persuade the victim that it is
necessary to pay upfront fees before the "winnings" can be released. In
reality, there are no winnings and any fees that victims part with go
directly into the pocket of the criminals running the scam. Also, over the
course of their correspondence with a victim, the scammers may accumulate a
significant amount of the victim's personal information. The scammers may
eventually accumulate enough information to steal the victim's identity.
Typically, lottery scam messages claim that your name or email address has
been "randomly selected" to win. However, legitimate lotteries do not operate
in this way. In almost all cases, you can only win if you have actually
bought a ticket. Even free, advertising supported, lottery systems will
generally require you to register and specifically enter a draw.
In short, do not trust any unsolicited email that claims that you have been
randomly selected to win a large sum of money, even if the lottery named in
the message is real.
