Another Facebook Lottery Scam Making the Rounds

No, Facebook is still not running a lottery. If you come across emails that claim you’ve won a big prize as part of a Facebook Lottery, delete it since it’s sent by scammers.
Facebook lottery scams have been making the rounds for years. The latest variant, identified by Hoax Slayer, reads something like this:

“We are pleased to inform you of the result of the just concluded annual Final draws held on the (30th of March 2014) by Facebook group in cash Promotion to encourage all Facebook users worldwide, your Name was among the 50 Lucky winners who won $600,000:00USD (Six Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) each on the Facebook group promotion Award Attached to ticket number (5647600545189) and Ref No (2551256002/244) Serial Number (55643451907).

The emails have nothing to do with Facebook. Those who respond to the bogus notifications are asked to hand over their personal and financial information, and probably even some money that allegedly represents fees that need to be paid before the prize money can be transferred.
