How to avoid cheating?
In some cases, scammers prepare well and send letters PERSONALLY to you: with your name, which they took from a stolen or purchased database of letters; with your interests, who have specified in your profile on the social network (so cool, when you have not changed information for years and you are sent trickery with data 10-15 years ago).
Anyway, watch the "tags", which allow you to separate true possibility from deception:
- Have you participated in a particular competition, prizes, grants? If not - 99% deception;
- Grammar and typography: often such letters are drawn up on the knee for 5 seconds. A letter from Microsoft without a logo or with a picture 95 of the year? Are you sure, that it is true?
- Point errors: wrong name or surname, incorrect information about the company, participation, strange emails, where the letter came from;
- If everything seems right, call the company, go to her website; ask questions;
- If you are asked to pay in advance, this is a danger marker. Look for the catch.
By the way, many tricks get reviews on the Internet very quickly. So if you get information, which looks too good, to be true, then browse the internet
And does not matter, we are talking about a lottery or course for 690 rubles - information on the network spreads quickly. Wait a couple of days and everything will fall into place
And further: no need to open an offshore account to win the lottery. First of all, it will not help to avoid taxes. Secondly, offshore account is a delicate tool, which is necessary for certain purposes.
