Lottery Scam
Received a call on 2 occasions, inviting me to go down to a roadshow event, to be held on 22 may 2019. first call on 18 may, 2nd call on 22 may, and 3rd call on 10 june indicating that I won the 3rd prize, a travel prize worth 60K HKD, with the option to convert to 53K HKD cash if I am unable to travel. travel time was to depart with in a month of 10 june, which is quite a hurry.

I did not go to said event at far east shopping centre. also did not validate with the mcst on whether said event occurred. they told me that to collect the prize, I would need to provide D.O.B, NRIC, Full name, so on and so forth. to collect the prize, either a passport scan, or bank account number is needed. thereafter I hung up without divulging anything.


would be good to share if the said event on 22 may, did occur. 香港鑫源達電子科技有限公司 was the company to host said roadshow.
