“You Just Won iPhone 12 Pro Max”

 

Things to note:

  • Looks like an official communication
  • Link does not lead to the displayed web address
  • Will ask the recipient to log into their account, allowing the scammer to steal the username and password
  • References DTI to add a sense of legitimacy

 

This is an example of the raffle or prize scam, which can be done via email, SMS, or other channels. These scams tell the recipient that he or she has won a prize in a raffle (which the recipient probably has not actually joined).
