Lottery without cheating

Fortune telling and psychics

A lot of scammers pretend to be people with a gift for guessing winning numbers. Interesting, that no one explains why, if the "magician" can win the jackpot himself, he needs to collect money from ordinary people. At best they write, something vague about some "magic rules".

Gullible people transfer money to scammers and then won nothing and cannot get it back. Lottery scammers change the page, and from the point of view of the law, they are not guilty of anything, the person transferred the money himself, without force pressure.

There are several known lottery fraud schemes of this kind:

• Winning numbers from psychics / fortune tellers. "If I knew the buy-in, I would live in Sochi" - here this phrase is more appropriate than ever. If scammers could guess the winning numbers, there would be no need to sell them.
• Selling a Wonderful Winning Scheme. Unable to statistically calculate winning numbers, because everything is decided by chance. Fraudsters often play on cognitive distortion of perception, which, for example, makes most people believe, what if heads come up five times in a row, then there will certainly be an "eagle". They may be trying to sell you the "correct" numbers calculated by the neural network or a scheme to get them. There are no such schemes. Real lotteries without cheating work on random number generators.
• Sale of conspiracies / amulets. Your business, sure, believe in magic, but deciding whether or not to risk the amount of money for a dubious amulet, think would you throw this money in the trash with a light heart?

Fake foreign lotteries

For a foreign lottery to function in Russia without deception, its organizers must conclude an international agreement with the federal service, at the moment there are no such lotteries in Russia. Therefore, the lottery activity of any foreign company is illegal..

No matter how official the calls to plunge into the game look and sound, this is a lie. Sometimes lotteries do exist, but invitations to play don't come from governments, who run legal lotteries, or from someone, who is associated with them. And there is no guarantee, that you will ever get tickets, for which you pay, or, in the unlikely event, if you win, you can get money. Scammers will just pocket your winnings.

Be careful if an allegedly foreign lottery site asks for your credit card or bank account number. As known, fraudsters can use this information to make unauthorized payments or debits from your accounts, in some cases repeatedly. It is always best to call the requesting company, To make sure, that these are real lotteries without cheating.
