Facebook Powerball Text

Facebook Powerball Scam: How It Works

Entering lotteries with the hopes of a big payday is a typical activity for many people. But what happens if you receive a text message or email stating that you have been randomly selected to receive $50,000 just for using the internet? Well, you've just been the latest “lucky” target of a recurring scam, that's what.

The Facebook Powerball Text scam has two variations:

1. Victims will receive a text – or email – from an agency whose goal is “promoting the handicapped”. They will tell you that your email address or cell phone number has been randomly selected as the winner of the $50,000 Powerball prize, and all you need to do to claim your prize is to give them your Facebook address and email address, PLUS PASSWORDS.

Watch the video below to see the Facebook Powerball scam caught in real time:

2. Victims will receive a text from a guy who claims to already won the Powerball draw (see picture above) and is donating part of the proceeds. Indeed, he will ask you for your personal information in order to release the funds. The name used by the scammer is Mark Hill.

Watch the video below to see this variation of the scam explained:

These two variations of the scam come after another one which did its rounds last winter on Facebook. Back then, a man claiming to be named Nolan Daniels posted a picture of himself holding a winning ticket of $587.5 million. This scam was just perpetrated online, after being shared by millions of Facebook users in hopes of a win.

Facebook Powerball Scam: How To Avoid

Of course, it is prudent to never give your passwords to anyone. Be aware that there is never a situation where you will receive something free – or so valuable – just by merit of having an email address or cell phone number. Agencies who have a mission that is unclear at best are typically fraudulent as well.

Always do your research online. If you are really looking to make some money through social media or reward systems, maybe consider Swagbucks.com, is the world's largest free online rewards program. You get paid by doing things online which you might do anyway, such as searching the web, discover products, take surveys, watch videos, or play games. You can also get free iTunes and Amazon cards. The company also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. You can register for free HERE.

  4. I have heard about other Facebook scam. One guy wrote a post he had won Powerball jackpot and promised to send $10K dollars to everyone who shares his message. And it was shared many times! None of those people lost their money, but still this is cheating. I am looking for reliable websites, anyway, just to avoid such situations. What do you think about this one http://localotto.com/powerball ? It is easy to use, but still want to be on the safe side.

  5. I agree, you have to be careful, sometimes.
    But I think you have to check games and applications too. I have an example, with my 15 years old son. Lot of Facebook games are OK and reliable, but sometimes my son got some scam or dangerous advertising… So I tried to find a way to read users feedback and ratings, but if the game does not have a dedicated Facebook Page, it is difficult… And if I published on official Facebook Page, comments can be deleted by admins so… I looked on the Internet and I found this website [website] to rate Facebook games or applications. The rating system is quite good, independant, and easy to understand : reliability of the game, advertising, safe content…

  6. I got a txt saying I won 320,000 dollars but they only asked for my name and phone number and address. I’m supposed to contact Citibank of New York. The contact name is William mills.is this a scam it says it’s thru Powerball??!!

    Hmm. Why my friend would tell me he won this money Ilk never know.
    I emailed Mr. Frederick Allen whose heading this years FB lottery
    I was directed to a site where they asked me my ss no & my gmail.& fb passwords. Ahh. No thank you dear Sir.
    About why my friend has said he won Ill never know. Beware …

  21. Yes this is 100% a scam. A Facebook friend contacted and said that she saw my winning check and profile when she went to pickup her check. To bad for the scammers little did they know that we know each other very well. They could not pretend that she won the money. If you have to pay any money in order to "win" money from someone its a scam. The only one walking away with money is the scammer. Beware.

    I received such a claim on Facebook from a friend stating that she had won $100,000.00 and that when she was signing for the cash that was delivered to her home she saw my name on a list, and that I should send an E-mail to [email protected] or to [email protected] to have my name checked against a list of winners. I sent an Email to these people who in return asked for my email and passwords, mother’s maiden name and other such personal info. I am glad that I had the foresight to investigate before jumping into what could be a potential nightmare. DO NOT GIVE YOUR PERSONAL INFO!!!! Realy?!! DO YOU THINK THAT SOMEONE REALLY WANTS TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR NOTHING?!

  52. yes just got scam. by a friend, notify me that i won 100 thousand dollars. and to email the address. http;//www.usfbkpowerball.tk, then questions. finally they want 1300dollars for fedex to deliver cheque.

  53. my wife just got got last night for 500.00 dollars late last night on a scam like this. What a joke how can people sit back and scam people and get away with it. if only I had the know how of how to track them down I would make sure they couldn’t ever do it again.

  54. the message that I received had several errors in it. The questions that they were asking for are not appropriate. I txt that I was on a site detailing there scam and the response was …. What. I have had attempts of hacking my account a few times and to protect your info is very important. I am not impressed that people are still trying to do this scam over and over again. I am not impressed at all

  55. I was contacted by a friend claiming to have seen my name on a facebook powerball prizes not claimed list. $50,000 prize. friend claimed to be in the middle of cashing it. When I asked to have the person verify through a personal question who they were, I got no answer. I looked up the info I was given and its seemed honest at first. Then I emailed a claim agent asking if this was real and why they needed to know where my grandparents were born. I got a reply that stated fill out the info now. I sent another email asking how long I had to make my claim. The reply said, "we are sick of your games. fill out the info or you will be taken off the winners list" I asked to be taken off the list.

    this company not only asked for email and facebook passwords they want to know where your parents and grandparents were born. where you went to school and other info like this. very privet info. but in order to claim your prize all this info needed to be filled out. the site is http://www.usfbkpowerball.tk/
    claims it is a part of the facebook anniversary promo in collaboration with powerball lottery.
