Please share this scam alert with your friends on social media.
Scammers often use the names of companies and organizations that have a positive public image in order to hook people into their scams. This message claims to be from Google, a company most people know and respect, and says you have won a prize. What could be better? Alas, it’s really a scam message, similar to a lottery scam, and the real Google has nothing to do with it.
