The current Internet scam claims that the person receiving the fraud email has won an online lottery. A large number of Internet scams tell scam victims that they can receive millions or dollars, pounds or euros just for winning a non-existent lottery. Online Internet scams are popular with overseas scammers because many people play the lottery and believe that they will eventually win. Online Internet scams come from across the globe. Many of them come from countries in Africa such as Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Senegal. They are not exclusive to Africa, however, many online Internet scams involve countries in Europe such as the UK which is known for the UK lottery scam.
