The HONDA CAR INTERNATIONAL PROMOTION PROGRAM scam email shown below claims that the recipient has won money and a new Honda car in an international lottery. The email is an attempt to initiate a dialogue with potential victims and subsequently trick them into sending money to the scammers responsible. There is no “HONDA CAR INTERNATIONAL PROMOTION PROGRAM” and no prize money.
This scam uses the name of a high profile company in an attempt to add weight to its spurious claims. The email is not associated with the Honda Company in any way. Other scams, such as the Microsoft Lottery scam, also use such tactics.
