Lottery scam via SMS claiming Dialog Mega Jackpot win of Rs 5 million
Received an SMS stating I had won the "Dialog Mega Jackpot" worth LKR 5,000,000. The message asked me to contact a "claims officer" via WhatsApp. The claims officer asked for my NIC copy, bank details, and a "processing fee" of LKR 10,000 to release the prize money. They sent an official-looking "winner certificate" with Dialog's logo. Dialog has confirmed on their website that they do not run any such lottery. This is a common scam targeting Dialog subscribers. I did not pay the processing fee.
