==========================================
This is so obviously a phishing email especially when you consider all the personal information that they are trying to coerce out of the recipient. If you have received this email and you didn’t purchase a lottery ticket then I urge you to delete it immediately. It’s got to make you laugh the way they actually give you a fictitious set of lottery numbers. 😆 Perhaps I should use these lottery ticket numbers in the next lottery ticket I purchase. Wouldn’t it be a hoot if they turned out to be winners.?
Remember, replying to it is not an option as this only confirms that they have a legitimate email address.
Thanks for the warning. I wnt get excited if I receive one of these emails. I wonder if anyone would answer the phone if you called them? :star:
Actually in some case Julia I’ve heard that they do although in most cases they don’t.
