Never let anyone persuade you that you’ve won something while doing nothing. An SMS message saying you’ve won a TV or an impressive sum of money is always a scam. Of course, it can be a legal lottery, but even in this case, it does not mean you’re going to win anything.
We also call them sweepstakes scams. Anyone is ready to win a million dollars, but what’s wrong with the world if you are the only one destined to get it for doing nothing? The following information might come in handy.

Never react to a message saying you’ve been automatically added to the list of contestants.

Never make any upfront payments regardless of how sweet and tempting the prize is.

Never help anyone calling you and saying you need to pay for the winning lottery ticket.

Don’t pay for anything, even if someone says it will increase your winning chances.

Scam contests make people believe they earn something out of nothing, which is always tempting. Thankfully, a bit of critical thinking and common sense will help you understand it’s impossible to win something just because someone tells you you can. Winning is about a bit of effort, and you’ll never gain anything investing money into the projects you have no idea of. Besides, you can always check the recipient’s phone number on the internet. Some of our online users have already shared their experience on scam contests. Check them out.
