My friend got a letter from a German Lottery saying she had won a sum of money. She also recieved a check for $5000.00 in the letter to pay Non-Resident Taxes. There is no asking for account #s,only to call an international phone # . and pay $ 2980.00 taxes .The check was deposited in her account basically to see if it was real. "IT WAS" In 72hrs it cleared her bank and it was deposited in her account. I have tried to find a scam on this Co. for her but have been unsuccesful. The check the company was on is legitimate in NYC. Should she make the international call and pay the taxes with their money (which has already been taken out of the account) or what. Her attorney seems to think she may nave won but she is still sceptical. Only bank money orders or cashiers check will be used for either transcation.

Did you buy a lottery ticket?
If not this is a scam. I get about five per day.
Just delete it and ignore it..

Look up the number your calling. Some numbers are like 1-900 numbers but they charge like 10000k per min.
