Euromillones Loteria International

Saturday, December 29th 2007, at 18:15

On the 28th of December my girlfriend received a letter from the Euromillones Loteria International
Below is a copy of the letter sent

How do I know this is a scam?

  • Firstly the letter is not directly addressed to my girlfriend, and she has never entered any lottery.
  • Secondly all of the logos on the letter have been scanned into the computer.
  • Thirdly the letter heading, is that word art with a drop shadow? On an official letter?
  • Fourthly, why would the winning participant have to give 10% of their winnings to Global Fortune Security S.A.?
  • Fifthly, don’t even get me started on the “claim form”!

I’m not sure what to do with this now, do I send the “claim form” back with fake details, or just tick the box asking to be paid by a certified cheque?

The letter asks for the “award” to be kept away from public notice until the claim has been processed and the money “remitted to your nominated account”

So what better place to announce that my girlfriend has won €615,810 (six hundred and fifteen thousand eight hundred and ten euros only) shared among seventeen (17) international winners with 10% taken off, than my blog!

That’s €32,601.71 (thirty two thousand six hundred and one euros and seventy one cents) or £23,940.91 (twenty three thousand nine hundred and forty pounds and ninety one pence)

WooHoo! We’re in the money! Lol!

Until the next scam,
Stay safe!

    Received letter today saying my ticket had won £915,810 Euros. I have never bought a ticket so its maximum profit lads.
    I have to phone Dr Alfonso Cano for processing the win. I wonder if he has a good bedside manner.
    Do people really get taken in by this type of childish fraud. Unfortunately I suspect they do.

    Don’t fret mates we are on top of it all. We KNow whew thoses popeles is ok. We reparesent offidcal law informent personalle. None of these assholes know what they are doing to themselves because sooner or later they will get in some stuff they can’t get out of. I think they get name from numbers that are listed. Or from web addresses on whoisit.

    My husband just got one of these letters, he enters everything so thought could be real. Letter was mailed from Spain, phone numbers had correct dialing codes. Euromollions Loteria, won 915,777.00 euros only. Call claim agent Don Casius Domino, foreign operations manager for Davan Group Security Company who is to get 10% fee. Included a claim form. Says this is a Internationl promotions program and has a seal that states it is a Spanish Government Approved Program. I checked with the International Better Business Bureau-FRAUD-SCAM! The BBB says to give your letters to your postmaster.

    These people are lower than pond scum!

    received a letter this a.m. 17th March saying that I had won one million and eighty euros (I wish) from Spain addressed to me personally from Malaga
    Any info and any point in contacting the local authorities in the UK?
    Thanks

    Letter arrived today 20.03.2010. Dad was impressed but I wasn’t. I have a little PC knowledge and decided to google it and low and behold, lots of comments and your blog came up.

    I see that the last report on your blog was 2008 so I thought to myself, people must still be receiving these letters and I had better let you know. Two years later and they are still at it.

  12. Mantas

    Hi, my grandmother received this letter today. Her winning is 815,510.00 $. Not bad for a person who has never entered any lottery. Why don’t these cheaters get a real job, it’s not fair. Greetings from Lithuania. :>

    Hi,
    I also got one of these stupid and most annoying e-mails well in all I have had thre but as I never entered in the first place I knew it was a scam I just dont understand how these people get away with it.Dont do it dont read it just delete it would be my advice.

  14. It is now 2011. All the blogs I read are from 2008. What happened to all the “lucky” people between 2008 and 2011? Anyway, I am really jealous. You all won Euros. I only won dollars. $815,960. That’s a lot less in Dollars than in Euros. And now I have to let the “agent” have ten % (!!!!) of “my” money, just for doing nothing? Oh no, I want it ALL for myself. Winners keepers !! I have it all planned out. I’m gonna go on a cruise around the world, First class, naturally. After all I can now afford it. I’m sooo lucky…….

    Wow, can’t believe this lot are still at it. I got one of the ‘lucky letters’ in the UK more than three years ago, just before I moved to Australia. I now work for a local newspaper in a small country town in Victoria and one of our readers has brought in a letter she’s just received. Postmark shows it coming from Portugal but with a Madrid address on the letter. Similar format to what I remember before but prizes now paid in US$ instead of Euros and the agent is Dr Oscar Gonzalez (doctor of boivine scatology no doubt). Times must be hard as they only want 5% now instead of 10%. Will take pleasure in publishing a note to warn our readers. Remember – You Gotta Be In It To Win It! ;-)
