I know you must have received E-mail with a subject “Hurray! Congratulation you have won $25 hundred thousand US Dollars”. This is what you must keep yourself out of. This could really harm you directly or indirectly.
SPAM is the term use in internet language for this kind of e-mails. Whether you are registered to a lottery scheme or not it is a matter of routine, some unknown people mail you. And in mail they write you that you had been selected for a lottery scheme and now from that scheme you have won money.
This is nothing but a way to hack innocent people online. They in the mail require your Name, Address, Phone number etc. to hack all your details. Not even this, they also ask for your credit card number. Sometimes people like me and you take interest in those kinds of thing and get ourselves in hell of a trouble.
But there is a way that you can get out of it. The way is that you should have a firewall with great protection installed in your PC. Firewall keeps you out of this trouble making stuff. Another think is that you should mark these mails as junk so that next time when it comes to the mailing address it directly goes to spam or junk.
Originally they were first started in North America but after its success it becomes a source of income for the hackers. People in this field are generally work in a group form, they first hack their own IP address (so they can’t be chased through their IP address), and afterwards they starts sending mails like these and make money by fooling other people.
So in order to keep yourself and especially young kid’s away from this threat use high internet security settings.
