I have been getting so many of those blatant lottery scams in my e-mail lately (the yahoo account Iv found it with most,for some reason), I want too let you people know of any I come across incase any of you are unaware that they are scams with an article iv been writing.As you may well be aware its a good idea to bare in mind, if you didn't enter a draw for the lottery then you probley haven't really won anything from them.

Lotto Scam Update

You may be aware of this one but incase you are not here is what I belive to be another lottery scam-Only give your details if you are sure they are a respectable company-otherwise do not give them your details!!!!!!!

One from a company with the web address called 'http://www.acculotto.com/'

Look for this as an email header:
"CONGRATULATION YOU ARE A LUCKY WINNER!!! EURO MILLION LOTTERY INTERNATIONAL PROMOTIONS"

If you are unsure if the email you have is a scam or not please feel free to email me and ask to see a copy of the one I got. This turned up in my Yahoo email and as far as I am aware its a scam. However, if I am mistaken and you know this is not a scam (please provide an explanation) or if you also think its a scam please feel free to let us know to help other people not enter themselves into a scam lottery. I also got another email which in my Yahoo which I belive to be a scam, but I may need to do a bit more finding out about this one, not so sure about the company, but if I may post here if I have found it to be a scam or not.
One thing I have noticed is for some reason I seem to have got the Scam Lottery emails in my Yahoo account Inbox far more then my MSN or Google ones.

Beat Scams

Unfortuntly,Online Scams Appear To Be On The Increase,

Well, ofcourse their are no full proof ways to beat scams, but their are precutions that can be put in place. We need to try and beat this scammers at their own games.

Here are some ideas.

1. Research.

If for example you get a phone call from a company and are unsure if they are genuine or not, research them. Try typing their no. into a search engine like Google- you may well find that someone else has had experiance of them-either that they are the genuine company or not.An example of this is by email I have been flooded with lottery scams saying I have one all this money(another give away being I didn't enter them!)I have found that for example other family,friends may of got the same message too so check like that.Also try typing there details given in an email(ie phone number,email) into a search engine or posting them on a fourm you may find other people have had the same messages sent to them.

2. Caller Display

Which leads me on to my next point.



A Warning On Scams I Am Aware of So Far:

BT (Ironic I know as BT themselfs arn't known for there briliant customer service often now are they?)

A company rung up the over day claiming to be BT. They asked for my Dad and when I said he wasn't in they asked if anyone else in the household could give account details. Now the real BT, like most companies don't like to speak to anyone other then owner of the account( even if its joint with someone else they can sometimes insist on only speaking to one person!) and should never ask for account details without first checking who you are. I gussed they are a scam and I am trying to get hold of their no. so I can warn you to look out for it. This is one of the reasons why caller display is heavily reccomended.Take note of numbers then if it rings again you can see if its the same number(some may try there scams under a new number so watch out for that)
Never Give Out Thoes Account Details Unless You Are Sure They Are The Real Company You Have The Account With.
