Toyota Car Promotions Scam
Lottery scams are one of the most common types of fraudulent email currently hitting inboxes. The Toyota Car Promotions email shown below is an example of one of these scam emails. Be wary of unsolicited email that informs you that you have won a large sum of money or other prizes in an international lottery. There is no lottery and no prizes. Those who initiate a dialogue with the scammers by replying to the lottery scam emails will eventually be asked for advanced fees to cover expenses associated with delivery of the supposed "winnings". They may also become the victims of identity theft.
The email is in no way promoted or endorsed by Toyota.
