The supposed lottery win notification is distributed as a PDF email attachment or &#8211; in some cases &#8211; a surface mail letter. The recipient is urged to claim the prize by filling in and faxing a detailed &#8220;Fund Release Form&#8221; that will supposedly be processed by Ladbrokes PLC, a well known UK based betting and gaming organization. According to the message the lottery program was created by FIFA along with the European lottery, Russian Football Union and Qatar Football to promote the 2018 and 2022 FIFA world cups.<\/p>\n<p>However, none of the claims in the message are genuine. The message is not from FIFA. There is no such lottery. Claim processing will not be undertaken by Ladbrokes PLC and the recipient has not won so much as a dollar. In fact, the message is an advance fee scam. People who fall for the lies in the message and submit their claim form for processing will soon be informed that they must pay a number of upfront fees before their claim can be finalized. The criminals responsible for the scam will tell their victims that the requested fees are needed to cover a range of functional expenses such as insurance costs, taxation, and banking or broker charges. Victims will be told that the fees must be paid in advance and, for legal reasons, cannot be deducted from the &#8220;prize money&#8221;. But, after they have extracted as much money as possible out of their victims, the scammers will simply disappear with their stolen cash. Victims are very unlikely to ever see a return of any of the money they have already sent. And, of course, no matter how many fees they send, they will never receive the supposed prize which never existed to begin with. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"9162856233\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p> Moreover, because the scammers will collect a large amount of personal and financial information via the initial claim form and subsequent information requests, they may also be able to steal the identity of their victims.<\/p>\n<p>This lottery scam is a little more sophisticated than some others of its type in that it uses a seemingly official claim form and pretends that the from will be processed by a real organization. Moreover, some instances of this scam are apparently targeted directly at individual users and include the full names and addresses of the targeted recipients.<\/p>\n<p>A very similar lottery scam campaign took place in 2010 and falsely claimed that recipients had won the \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"FIFA 2010 World Cup Lottery Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/fifa-world-cup-lottery-scam.shtml\">FIFA 2010 World Cup Lottery<\/a>. And other \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Chinese Olympic Committee Lottery Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/chinese-olympics-lottery-scam.shtml\">major sporting events<\/a> \u00a0have also been \u00a0<a class=\"norm\" title=\"Rugby World Cup Advance Fee Lottery Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/rugby-world-cup-lottery-scam.shtml\">regularly used<\/a> \u00a0in such advance fee scams.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"norm\" title=\"Lottery Scams - International Lottery Scam Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/email-lottery-scams.html\">Advance fee lottery scams<\/a> \u00a0take many forms, but still continue to find new victims. Be wary of any email, letter or text message that claims that you have won a large prize in a lottery or promotion that you have never even entered. Such scams typically claim the the recipient&#8217;s name, phone number or email address was randomly selected as the winning entry even though the recipient never bought a ticket or participated in any prize draw. Genuine lotteries are very unlikely to conduct their affairs in such a manner.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Third Content Ad Responsive --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"1909104632\"\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- HS Net Bottom AdLinks --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0355887770822260\" data-ad-slot=\"1358951439\" data-ad-format=\"link\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p><\/br><\/br> Original Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/2012-fifa-world-cup-online-lottery-advance-fee-scam\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/2012-fifa-world-cup-online-lottery-advance-fee-scam\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Outline Email that pretends to originate from world football governing body FIFA, claims that the recipient has won a large sum of money in the 2012 FIFA World Cup Online Lottery Program and should fill in and send an attached form to begin the process of claiming the prize.
