LOTERIA NACIONAL, lottery scam

I got the same, dated;26/11/2009, same #’s 09-56-76-18-13-99-37; for $935,470.00 euros (and a pig has wings). Garbage can, next stop for that piece of paper.

i’ve got this letter just today 9.12. 2009 in ireland 70 000…hahahaha this must stop..this is crazy

I received one as well unfortunately for them I have had this stuff before and can easily recognise a scam think its time considered sending false things back to them like a cheque with the name Mr.I.Noidea, and for every time they respond pass on their letters to trading standards and gaming autorities if you do not have a trading standards in your country.
On no account pass any banking details if you do get in touch with your bank to inform them of the letter and they in turn will pass your old card details on to fraud department who will monitor any activity on your card.
I hope this helps.

Wishful thinking seems to work around the globe! Otherwise these people wouldn’t keep on trying to profit from it in such an ”unprofessional” way, would they?
I admit, though, the idea of winning so much money has been a very tempting one for me, too!
We’re all human, aren’t we?

This is really idiotic ))).
I’ve also received a postal letter yesterday, not e-mail, with kind of similar text in it as represented above. I’m in Bosnia. Difference is in amount – I didn’t ”won” millions, but ”just” 615.810 EUR, also based on some f…ng air ticket, as this lady mentioned before )). Similar things I’ve received several times by e-mail, but never as a letter!

I must say that I’m really surprised that somebody has so much free time and willingness to send all this stupidities around the world… it’s rather demanding ”job” because they have to find all our names somewhere on some white or yellow pages, then to make and print all these forms and letters, which is not free if we consider paper, printer ink and necessary time, and finally they have to go to post office to send it )).

Amazing…really )). I would like to meet this person(s) personally, just to see him/her and to try to analyze that mental constitution

For this guy who asked ”what he exposed himself to”, the answer is simple – if you provide them with you credit or debit card number, especially if you provide them with CCV No. from that card, then run to your bank or call them immediately and request blocking of that card. Maybe it’s too late already, depends of when you sent those data. And…good luck

Thanks for posting! They're off the internet and are now operating by MAIL. I just got a letter – in English, Italian, and French (written atrociously!) – offering me € 615,810 (the same amount as the in the last comment by Natalie!) for a mere 10% of the winnings. Crazy people! I haven't been to Spain in years!
After reading some of the posts – something occurred to me! While I didn't go to Majorca, my sister came to visit me from there (perhaps leaving my address with the hotel as her next destination!). Can't trust anyone any more!

Well boys and girls, they've crossed the pond now. I'm in Canada, and have won not just wonce, but three different times….I must be really lucky! I've reported it to a local fraud watcher whose job it is to shut down things like this, but he said they're everywhere, so one gets stopped, and three more pop up in his place. Glad to see there is still intelligent life out there tho, or more of us would be falling for this nonsense. Cheers all : )

I have been getting these sweepstakes in the U.S. but they would ask for you to send money to be in the jackpot. I must say when I recived the letter from loteria nacinal spanish sweepstakesI thought my prayers have been answered. It seemed so real because the letter initially doesn’t ask for any money. I never got to contact them but I had my suspesions. Then I decided to do a google search and I found this article. Thanks to all the feedback because this helped me to realize that I almost was scamed. What a nasty thing to doe to people.

Thank you so much for posting all of these messages peops! I received the same strange,, fake idiotic letter…knew it was a scam straight away but now I shall sleep tight not wondering what if…..
