I got emails in my spam box about winning lottery and asked to reply with my name, address, contact number, email and amount won. I replied to one without my contact number. What risk involve in this? Can anyone reply the consequences?
Try not to reply them at all, the more information you have given them, the riskier your position is as they can use these information to forge your identity. Next time just trash it. When has been send has already been send. No need to worry about it. Just be careful in the future. Cheers!
I actually did replied to one such email and then i started getting 1000's everyday. so had to abandon that email address
they already know it.. why asking again.. They don't know amount.. Then how will they give prizes Strange, but they don't need that winning lottery ticket .. Btwn, from where you purchased that ticket.. I wish to buy one too..
Seems you have a very very lucky email id, if it is the first time that your email id won such prize then I assure you that you will get flood of such winning notification very soon. My 0.0002 cents: Don't wast your time reading those mails, just "Delete" them.
I got these type of emails several weeks ago. I was excited to win the lautery. But then I thought it could be a scam. I searched on google about this and I found these were scams. Don't reply to these type of emails anyway. Especially don't give your bank details to them.
If you ever reply to one of these messages, all you do is confirm to the sender that your address is valid. So more and more spam will be coming your way...
