"National Payment Services Lottery Australia" Is a Scam
⚠️ The "National Payment Services Lottery Australia" is NOT legitimate. It is a known scam.
Red Flags
- Unsolicited emails/calls claiming you've won a lottery you never entered.
- Requests for upfront fees ("taxes," "processing," "insurance") to release "winnings."
- Pressure to act quickly, secrecy demands.
- Use of generic email domains (@gmail, @outlook), poor grammar, official-looking but fake logos.
- No such entity exists in Australian government or lottery regulators (e.g., The Lott, Tabcorp, state lottery commissions).
What to Do
- Do not respond. Do not click links, provide personal/financial info, or send money.
- Report: Scamwatch (ACCC), ReportCyber (ACSC), your bank if you paid.
- Block sender/caller.
Real lotteries never ask winners to pay fees to claim prizes.
