Dubai: The International Cricket Council (ICC), a global governing body of cricket, warned fans against scams claiming to be associated with the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019, starting May 30 in England.
Previous major sporting events have also been targeted in this way. Illegal scammers contact people, usually through email, claiming that they have won a cash prize via a lottery or competition, requiring the person to share a range of personal information, including their name, age, bank account and passport details. The victim is often asked to pay a fee to obtain the prize money.
