Lottery is drawing a number from a lots and hence the Name lottery..How our mail ID can get the winning prize...Think twice before sending reply
Case No 2
Recently there was a bulk mail thats goes to many tax payer ID and indicating that they are eligible for huge amount of tax refund and for refund amount of tax will be credited to your bank account..The mail was seems to be geniue .The mail was demanding your Account number and Bank details along with your credit card number also..
The mail was stating strictly that if you had furnishing false or wrong information, you will be liable for penality..Poor tax payers, they were believed the same and updated the sensitive information...
Finally there was a clarification made by Income tax department that, they had not made any such mail intimation and will not be responsible if the tax payers had lost their monies...
