- Beware of Unexpected Emails. Have you received an email from a service you have not signed up for? Never respond to an email unless you are sure where it came from.
- Always Make Sure the Email Account is Legit. Official Lottery services will always use professional company addresses to contact you. Never respond to personal email accounts that claim to be lottery providers.
- Be Aware of Fees. You should never have to pay any transfer charges or processing payments to receive your prize money. At All The Best Lottos we will never charge you any fees for receiving your prize money. That money will always be 100% yours.
- It’s Never “Just between us”. If you receive an email saying you’ve won a prize but to “keep it a secret” or “keep this quiet”. This is a method used by illegitimate businesses that want to prevent this scam from being known online.
- Check the Game Name is Legit. Some Scammers pretend to be legitimate lotteries but may have some name inconsistencies.
