World Lotto Corporation

Just had a call from some guy with a very strong German'-ish' accent, doing his very best to get me to enter the Liechtenstein Lotto or some such. I got tired of trying to understand him as he went on and on about the great odds of this lottery and trying to make it sound like a win-win situation so asked if I could do it online.

He gave me the website address: www.worldlottocorporation.com but of course wasn't happy to just leave me to it and tried to talk me through registration. As soon as he said 'click register' I said I wasn't going to sign up to another site 'just like that' and wanted more time. He said that it was fine and he'd tell me what to enter... :rotfl: Of course, when it got to my name, he said, unsurprisingly, 'enter your name...' lol. He really couldn't understand why I didn't want to register on the spot and his tenacity really set alarm bells off for me..

Anyone heard of them...? Any useful info..? I stupidly said he could ring me in an hour and I'm running out of time. I'll either go out or just tell him to bog off and remove me from their 'mailing' list (I registered with MPS and TPS the other day - for stuff exactly like this. Can't wait till it kicks in!!) Whois shows it's registered to ILLF. At a quick glance it looks kosher, but why the hard sell..?

Any info. appreciated.

:)

    I've won the spanish lottery. I didn't even know I'd entered. all I need to do is enter my credit card details...
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?

    I got exactly the same call about 45 minutes ago. A person calling himself John who was apparently a supervisor at World Lotto Corporation in Liechtenstein hard-selling his lottery tickets. In the end he became racially abusive and threatening, alluding to the fact he would be adding my name to some internet site if I didn't pursue his offer. I now regret having picked up the phone now.

    Hannoja, I know World Lotto Corporation, I have been a member of them for some time now. You are right, they are connected with ILLF and I can confirm that this is no scam, it is a real lottery. They are based in Liechtenstein. I am quite happy that I joined them because my personal supervisor works with stategies and I am indeed winning. I am still waiting for the big win but I get EUR 5 for every 2 ball match, that was a nice surprise! When I claim my winnings, I get their cheque a couple of days later without any problems. I can only recommend them!
