The Director-General of the National Lottery Authority (NLA), Mr.
Mohammed Abdul-Salam, has cautioned the public to be wary of lotto fraudsters, particularly on social media. He advises against falling prey to fraudsters who claim to possess leaked winning numbers in exchange for money, a deceitful practice that has victimized many.
Mr.
Abdul Salam made these remarks in Kwahu, Nkwatia, where the NLA held its Easter Community Draw on Saturday, 19th April. "A lot of the time, these scammers use the images of Management and Staff on social media, assuring unsuspecting people that they can make them rich in connivance with officials of NLA, and have defrauded several people through this narrative. If anybody tells you they can make you rich, consider it like choosing to stake your car number.
