Won a £950,000 Google anniversary prize? Spoilers: It’s a scam!

I received an email from Larry Page.

You must have heard of Larry. He’s one of the two chaps who founded a little advertising company called Google.

Google letter

Here is what the email says:

Dear Google User,

This is to officially inform you that you have been selected as a winner for using Google services, attached is our official notification letter for your perusal.

Sincerely.
Larry Page
CEO & Co-founder of Google

Sounds exciting doesn’t it? Attached to the email is a PDF file.

Now, I know that you have to be wary about PDF files, as sometimes they can contain malicious code. This one, however, appears to be legitimate.

Well, until you read what it has to say, of course.

Google email 1

In short, the email says that I have been chosen as the winner of a £950,000 prize. According to the email, Google believes that I will “continue to be active and patronize the Google search engine”. Damn right I will be if they are going to offer me almost a million quid!

All I have to do is get in touch with Patricia Harman, the Google Payment Coordinator, who is so loyal to the brand that she uses a Gmail address.

Google does require me to share some personal information first though… name, address, phone numbers, age, marital status, how I feel about winning the lottery, and so on…

Sign up to our free newsletter.
Security news, advice, and tips.

They also want to know whether I’m going to go down to Google’s office to pick up the cash, or would like the loot couriered to my address.

Google email 2

This is all sounding marvellous so far. My web hosting bills will be paid for until the 25th century!

The email does warn, however, that I need to keep my good news entirely confidential. Whoops.

Apparently, in the past winners have told their relatives and close friends about their big win from Google, and has resulted in a huge number of scurrilous double claims! As a consequence, the “Google Promotion Award Team” has decided to be cancel any award – both for the legitimate winner and for anyone making a double claim.

So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

Yoinks.

I guess I should do what they say. I don’t want to upset Larry.

Google email 3

Please promise to delete this blog post from your cache and forget that you ever read it. And don’t any of you dare claim the £950,000 from Google before me, ok?

Want to know more? Read below for spoilers

It’s a scam.

If you ever receive a message like this, don’t believe it and definitely don’t respond.

The scammers will try to trick you into believing that you have won a large cash prize, and will do everything they can to warn you not to speak to anyone about it.

Don’t forget there are vulnerable people out there who could all too easily believe a message like this, and could end up financially harmed by fraudsters.

Meanwhile, it’s amusing to see that at least some scammers are failing to keep up with the news – and are making their attempts to defraud internet a users that little bit less convincing. For instance, Sundar Pichai became Google’s CEO in October, and the company isn’t using that logo anymore.

    If she truly worked for Google her address would be @google.com. Whether many would know this or not it is still easily enough discovered (if not blinded by greed). There are many other red flags, of course, but that one is amusing – if it doesn't ensnare anyone, that is.

    Perhaps the biggest red flag however, is that you didn't enter a contest and suddenly you won 'a contest'. Clones aren't automatically as old as the person/thing being cloned so it certainly wasn't a clone but even if it was a clone it wouldn't have the same email/passwords/etc. so it wouldn't be true either.

    Oh wait I never got my millions from that nigerian either

    Congratulations? Or, eh… So then I guess you'll have to keep on being a security pro. BTW, I voted GCHQ best security newsletter — I haven't consented to donate a kidney, have I?

    1. Good that you checked.

      It is, of course, a scam.

      Google is not in the habit of mailing people out of the blue and offering them almost a million quid.

      Google is a business. It's primarily in the business of selling advertising. It doesn't need to run a lottery.

      1. Ahmed · in reply to Graham Cluley

        I got the same email saying i wont 950000 pound. And now the last email i got i have to pay 980 canadian to get my winning ticket from england.and i gave them some my info what do u do now.

    Google values your right to privacy! Your information is 100% secured and will be used exclusively for the purpose of this award only.

    The Google Promotion Award Team has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Google Promotion Award Team has reached a decision from its headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the canceling of that particular winning, leading to a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

    Congratulations from the Staffs & Members of the Google interactive Lotteries Board Commission.

    Yours faithfully,

  16. ayie

    i get a letter for this winning notification letter.. i hate this scam

  17. Anna

    I received the mail that I have won £950 000.00 and should keep the information confidential. Then send my personal details to Mr Jones Bradley. I immediately smelled a rat there until finally when I came across this conversation. Let's be careful og scams.

    1. Wilkister kerebi nyanumba · in reply to Anna

      Just received the same email that I have won £500000. I m glad that I exercised due diligence and was able to read all your sentiments. I was actually looking in the Google portal or site to get to understand what win this was, because surely something had to be documented about this random awards, Google is smart…so anyway it is a shameless scam

      1. Deuk · in reply to Wilkister kerebi nyanumba

        I also got a email called you won 950.000.00 also called kept information confidental.
        What about this google anniversary winning notification?

        1. Lilian Futcher · in reply to Deuk

          I’ve had one today same amount I hate all these scammers they are the scum of the earth pity they can’t be stopped.

    I just got one of these today. Kathy Oleary. Google pdf doc. I have not opened it.

  19. Howard Davis

    I received the same email telling me I had won £750.000 was asked to fill in my details. Didn't ask for bank details tho so how do the scammers profit. Do they sell in your details or do they send another email asking for money to release your "Winnings"

    1. abgsani · in reply to Howard Davis

      Agree with Graham Cluley's comments. If a person own or work with a company, why must you use others' email. Sundar Pichai work with Google and email should or must look like this : [email protected]. Never give your personal info especially your Bank account number. You might lose your money in your account in a second. Beware of the scam…

  20. Ian Dickinson

    Yeh we got this to, very obvious scam. These scammers are completely shameless. Cannot this sort of thing be stopped?

    I received the same email telling me I had won £950.000 was asked to fill in my details. Didn't ask for bank details tho so how do the scammers profit. Do they sell in your details or do they send another email asking for money to release your "Winnings"

  75. Lars Lindblad

    I think it is bogus or scam. I got a similar email from GOOGLE/MICROSOFT/MOBILE Winning Notification 2020 that I have won USD 1,450,000. I had to fill in two pdf-forms with personal details and then log in to an Android App called FCB First Coin Bank with more details except IBAN and BIC for the safe transfer of the prize. I had to open an online account with FCB but I failed and I got no money. The reason for this was that the bank had technical problems with Sweden according to the consultant Mrs. Jessica Lee.
