Iwon email scam reporting

IWon is a popular online sweepstakes and contest website that has been around since the early 2000s. Unfortunately, like many other online platforms, it has also been targeted by scammers who try to trick users into revealing their personal and financial information.

If you have received an email that claims to be from IWon and asks you to provide sensitive information, such as your password, credit card number, or social security number, it is likely a scam. Here are some tips to help you identify and report these types of emails:

How to identify a potential scam email:

  1. Be cautious of emails that ask for personal or financial information. Legitimate companies will never ask you to provide sensitive information via email.
  2. Check the email address. Scammers often use fake email addresses that may look similar to the real one. Look for misspellings, extra characters, or unusual domain names.
  3. Watch out for poor grammar and spelling. Scammers may not take the time to proofread their emails, so if the email is filled with errors, it may be a scam.
  4. Be wary of emails that create a sense of urgency. Scammers may try to rush you into taking action by claiming that your account will be closed or that you will miss out on a prize if you don't respond quickly.

How to report a scam email:

  1. Forward the email to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at [email protected].
  2. Report the email to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) at [email protected].
  3. Contact IWon's customer support team directly and report the email. You can find their contact information on the IWon website.
  4. Mark the email as spam in your email provider's settings. This will help prevent future emails from the same sender from reaching your inbox.

Additional tips to stay safe:

  1. Never respond to emails that ask for personal or financial information.
  2. Never click on links or download attachments from suspicious emails.
  3. Keep your antivirus software and operating system up to date.
  4. Use strong, unique passwords for all of your online accounts.
  5. Monitor your credit reports and financial statements regularly for any suspicious activity.

By being aware of these tips and taking steps to protect yourself, you can minimize the risk of falling victim to email scams like the one targeting IWon users.
