Lottery Scams are a type of Advance Fee Scam where the potential victim has supposedly won a lottery worth millions despite never having entered. The email or messages often say that the email ID or phone number has been 'chosen' for the prize and ask for personal details. The entire story is a farce and the goal is simply to get money out of victims in the form of multiple 'fees' before they realize that they haven't really won anything.
