A recent email scam in the area involves a letter claiming to be from the FBI awarding money and seeking personal information, according to Tioga County Sheriff’s deputies. The email informs people they have “legally won” $10,000 from the U.K. Mega Millions Lottery drawing and asks the victim to make a money transfer. Tioga County Sheriff Gary Howard urged local residents not to respond to the email, or click on links contained in the message. The FBI does not send emails asking for personal information according to the sheriff.
