Well, guys I dont know if this has been posted before or not. But here it is. This is like a top scam going around all through out the world internationally. I also could have been scammed, but I was bit more careful in my approach. I thought it will be useful to post it here on beyond as lots of Calgarians and some other people come here. Who knows might save someone some money. Here is how they scam people.
Name of the Company(SCAM)
Elgordo Loteria Primitiva Santa Lucia Security Company
They send you a letter, stating you have won a lottery. received a letter from this company indicating that I had won an amount of $615,810.00 Euros in a lottery I knew nothing about. My winning "ticket number" was 025-11-464-992-750 with "serial number" 2113-05. The "lucky numbers" were 13-15-16-21-34-36.
The company claims that I was one of seventeen winners of a total lottery amount of $10,468,770.00 (all of whom share the amount). It asks me NOT to make my winnings public until my "claim" has been processed (an obvious clue that something is fishy). It also leaves a Claim Agents name: Farnando Marcobe and number for you to call to confirm your winnings and gives you a deadline of November 30, 2004. Along with the notice of winning, there is a form to fill out which includes information on your bank account (again, another fishy request).
This company is attempting to fraud innocent people. They ask that you pay several thousands in "insurance and taxes" prior to receiving your "lump sum winnings". Guess what? You will never see any winnings and they will make off with the supposed "insurance and tax" money you gave them. This is a complete sham and is 100% illegal.
Well, Some of the things in the letter made me suspicious like, there was no return address. It didnt say any of our names anywhere in the letter. Another part which made me double thing about this was, the way said not to talk about this letter to other people as there will be a leak of "lottery" information. That made me search around the internet for it and guess what I came up with. A site full of these kinds of scams. People posted the same thing. HELL, even the lottery number, lucky number and name of agent was same in some cases. Well, my only motive posting this here is so that if anyone else have had this letter, dont be fooled by it. Its nothing but a SCAM!!! I hope these people get fucked for what they are doing and pay the fucking consequences.
Hope this will help some of the people from getting scammed by these assholes!!!:guns: :guns: :guns:
