*The question is what happens next? If I send them a copy of my ID and the verification card do i risk?? Is it a hoax? They didn't tell me to send them cash so it's not that obvious for me whether this is a hoax or not. If i'll send them a copy of my ID and this VC i won't lose any money...unless anyone knows what happens next?? |

Piotr, I somehow doubt that you'd get any money out of this, and the last thing you should do is reply to them, let alone send them a copy of your ID.
Did you ever wonder how you entered this lottery in the first place? |

Smerk, well i actually i'm sure i haven't entered any lotteries. From what i've read here i'm sure this is a scam and i guess i won't get money out of this, but still i'm curious in what way would they want to get money from me. And what would have happend if i sent them the copy of my ID? |

I think I know how I started receiving all this trash:
I started an online business selling health products. To commercialize I decided to try what many online businessers do: get ezines going to advertise your business. For that, I get bulk emails from many companies as well as many companies and people get emails from my company. These are just advetisings.
One of the emails I got, advertised www.freelotto.com. I had played that a couple of times when I was a teenager, though won nothing. But this email said that if I subscribed I would enter a drawing to receive a certain number of prizes they were giving away. I did subscribe, without any payment's though (they prefer if you do pay $14.99 per month, hahaha)I didn't give any personal info cause I just wanted to check the place out.
Then I started receiving lots of emails saying that I won such and such millions of money, first ones from Amsterdam, and other places. So that's how I started receiving junk mail from them. It seems Freelotto sold my email address to them.
then Freelotto told me I won with them. I looked into it. They're from New York. I do not know if that is a scam either. I researched through the internet and some sites say it's real, others say it's a ripoff. I think that's where I searched, at ripoff.com but google helped me most. My answer is a little inconclusive. If someone could help me. Is Freelotto just as a scam as Amsterdam?
Piotr: Maybe you haven't gotten to the part yet where they ask you to pay a couple hundred euros to do all the legal paperwork to confirm it is you. That is where they rip you off and steal your money. If you send them a bank account, then you're fried. |

OK...that's all by email. But what happens when you actually receive a letter...from SPAIN no less. And upon contacting the number (a spanish number, using a call card) someone with a heavy Spanish accent actually picks up, and confirms that you have won, and details procedures on how to get the money. Processes include going through the national bank, and even detailing the taxes that need to be deducted. He then promises that I will receive the 600,000 euros by next week. Sceptical? Hell ya. But the money would change my life. So should i believe this? Or is it some eleborate hoax? |

I wouldn't believe the Spain hoaxes either. I've heard they're pretty good at doing them there, especially concerning credit cards.
Yes, I wished I could of won for real. I don't trust these anymore.
But you can take your chances.
I'm not willing to get ripped off though. |

I think you have to ask youself, did I enter a lottery in Spain?
It's a scam. No matter how detailed and believable it sounds, if you weren't in Spain and entered a lottery there then there's no possible way for you to have won one. |
