Lottery scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. The Irish Lottery Scam email shown below is an example of one of these scam messages. Be very cautious of any unsolicited email that informs you that you have won a large sum of money in an international lottery. There is no prize. Lottery scammers often use the names of genuine lotteries in an attempt to add credibility to their claims. This scam email is not in any way associated with the real Irish National Lottery. Those who initiate a dialogue with these scammers by replying to the lottery scam emails will eventually be asked for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with delivery of the supposed “winnings”. They may also become the victims of identity theft.
