SuperSport warns of scam



SuperSport would like to warn of an internet scam purporting to come from the company.

It has been brought to SuperSport’s attention that a number of people have received emails congratulating them for winning an online lottery, in the name of SuperSport.

Typically, the message reads:

“We can categorically confirm that no such competition exists and should be completely ignored,” said a SuperSport spokesman.
