Warning about NumberPLate Lotto- DO NOT CLICK ON TODAY'S EMAIL

Options
This is a warning to all that there is a malicious link embedded in today's email about the prize draw. I would advise you not to click on the link to see who has won today's draw.

On the basis of this and the number of emails I have received from them in the last week (no email about draws for weeks and then received 20 in 1 go), I am calling it quits with this site. It does not seem very legit, or else they have been hacked and I don't feel it's worth it for a tenner.

  • There Facebook page, has an apology on it saying that they changed there advert supplier on the page and that's what caused the issue and all is back to normal again.


    Ive won on the numberplate lotto and can confirm I got paid straight away.
  • I have the link saved in favourites so just go straight there rather than relying on the emails and I guess it removes the risk of a malicious link too

    How do you claim? Do you need to show proof of car ownership or just respond on website .
  • If your numberplate is the winner, all you need to do is enter your email address, they then contact you for your paypal email address, then they transfer the winnings - all very simple and secure


    some of my friends do not drive and have entered using a random set of numbers and letters, one of which as won and been paid, so I think they not concerened about your numberplate at all.

    That's interesting as they said they checked numberplates if they felt they were made up....

    I'm surprised you get away with making them up.

    I use my genuine numberplate. I have no reason to make stuff up. However a member flagged a plate they thought was fake and numberplateottery checked it.
