Is Volksbank a paying bank for Euro Afro-Asian Sweepstake Lottery International Amsterdam Holland?

Question

I have been declared winner of US 250,000.00 from Euro Afro-Asian Sweepstake Lottery International, Amstedam Holland in August-2006. They are demanding US $ 7500.00 in advance on account of bank transfer charges. I want to know the reality of this organization.

Answer 1

Common lottery scam.

If you didn't buy a ticket, you didn't win a lottery. By the way, there is absolutely no legitimate "international" lottery - such a thing is illegal in most (if not all) countries.

Also keep in mind you NEVER have to pay taxes or any charges IN ADVANCE if you win a legitimate lottery.
