Prizes and lotteries
Prizes and lotteries scams come in many different forms but the hook is nearly always the same – you have won something big (either money or prizes) and all you have to do is send them money to receive your prize.
The majority of prize and lottery promoters have got your name from a mailing list. It is possible that you previously responded to one of their promotions or competitions, or the promoter purchased your details from a mailing list broker.
Some points to remember are:
Always read the fine print on any offer;
Don’t hand over your credit card details to unknown companies;
Always guard your personal details;
Before you enter competitions, check the privacy provisions to see whether your personal details will be passed on to third parties; and
Always read the terms and conditions before subscribing to websites offering free competitions and prize give-aways.
HOW DO I GET MY NAME OFF THEIR MAILING LIST?
Normally, WA ScamNet advises consumers not to respond to scam offers because it confirms that your address or email details are correct.
However many prize and lottery scams are operated by overseas mail order companies or competition promoters. Some of these promoters are now providing details on how to get your name and address removed from their mailing list.
This information is often contained within the fine print, which may be found on the reverse side of letters or envelopes.
We suggest you take advantage of the opportunity to tell these companies that you do not wish to be inundated with their unsolicited mail.
It is important to state your name and address exactly as it is typed on the letter or email you received. If you receive multiple letters, check whether your name and address is spelt differently. Also include any identity/registration number that is included in the written material you receive. This information is usually located above your name and address.

To date, WA ScamNet has not been able to gauge the success in having names removed from mailing lists. However we believe it is worth a try.
Please contact us in a few months time and tell us how successful you have been and whether the volume of scam mail has reduced.
If there is no information offering the ability to unsubscribe, then don’t respond to the letter or email.
