INTERNATIONAL LOTTO COMMISSION (scam)

justpaper

a friend got phone calls saying hes won a euromillions draw in spain and also a letter, i told him its a scam but heck knows what hes going to do, basically there asking him to pay £1.700.00p to a company thats Holding his winnings for him (Atlantico Group Seguridad SA) then they "will" send him his £400k winnings, and from that he has to give 5% to the company that holded his winnings and 10% to the company that entered his name into the draw

just thought id post it here if any one else has got the letter/phone calls,. ill scan and upload the letter later on

Just got one today saying i have won 815,810euros wow. What is worrying though is that they were sending them out without your name printed on the letter which was one of the indications it was a scam (according to a number of websites) so these scum are reading all the warnings about them selves and changing accordingly.

Slight Change of Scam!

I got a letter this morning. Aren't I lucky, I've won 715,000 euros in a Spanish lottery and never even bought a lottery ticket!

They don't even want me to send any cash first - they'll deduct the 10% (for the agent that entered my name in the lottery) from my account once the winnings have been paid.

All I have to do is fax them my bank details, DoB, next of kin etc.

All personal details that are often used in security checks.

Think I'll pass on this one!

I'm beginning to feel jealous of you lot - I got a letter this morning from the International Lotto Commission in Spain and I've only won 615,810 Euros! They're clearly getting tight-fisted now.

What's really amazing is the print job on the letter - I've got one of the cheapest printers going but the results I get are far better than this. Note to scammers "Try harder next time!"
