If you have received any information via email etc about winning a lottery for which you have not bought a ticket, then the chances are this is a scam. Contact us if you are in any doubt, but do so before you part with any money or personal information.
If you are aware of a scam that is not listed here, let us know and we will post it here for all to see.
Do people really still believe they can try to con us by sending email saying "you've won the Blah Blah Lottery" when we haven't even purchased a ticket to take part in it? and why do these scummy individuals always seem to prey on the elderly?
A lot of these scams seem to be about identity theft, not just about conning money out of you. Make sure you do not sent any information or money to these people.
Remember This...
If you have not bought a ticket or do not have some form of membership details for a syndicate etc...

from [62.77.180.65] by ws1-16.us4.outblaze.com with http for Dear Sir?Madam, Thanks for your response. Due to strict security protocols and company policies, we are advising all winners in this category “A” and so on, to forward the following to the appointed claim agent Mr. Rick Stone. (1) TWO PHOTO IDENTIFICATION e.g. passport, drivers’ license e.t.c. (2) ONE UTILITY BILL as proof of address. (3) REF. AND BATCH NUMBERS
The reason for this is that, over the last couple of years, we have had individuals trying to claim awards unscrupulously due to similarity in names and so on. So it is in the winner’s interest to forward the above mentioned to the appointed claim agent by FAX or EMAIL SCAN (preferably by email scan, for clarity purposes), as we will not be held responsible should your payments go to an unscrupulous individual, as our data base holds over twenty five million names for a particular draw.
Awaiting your swift response Regards,
Rick Stone CLAIM AGENT FOR: PAUL VINCENT SECURITY CONSULTANTS INC. FAX:+44 8701379406 MANCHESTER-UK End of second Email We did not answer the second Email, but we have found out that if you do the next reply from them will ask you to part with your money - REMEMBER - IF YOU DIDN'T PURCHASE A LOTTERY TICKET - HOW CAN YOU HAVE WON ANYTHING ?? - BE CAREFUL John
