A spoof website is one that imitates a well-known company’s website, aiming to lure you into disclosing personal and confidential information. Fraudsters use all sorts of methods to make these websites look convincing, including faking the URL (the website address that appears in the address bar of your browser) and the padlock symbol that appears bottom right, and using the names, logos and graphics from the real company’s site. If, after reading these pages, you still have concerns about lottery scams, please contact us.
