Free Lotto is a credit card scam run by a criminal group called PlasmaNet from a P.O. box at Grand Central Station in N.Y. I am a retired Police Officer that as a hobby investigates Internet fraud. Free Lotto is one of the biggest scams. Go to www.ripoffreport.com and enter the search words Free Lotto and you will find hundreds that have been taken in. Internet Survey companies are the biggest source of scammers getting your email address. Free Lotto sells your email address to other scammers so be aware, you will, in all probability, have more scams come across your computer screen. Free Lotto, once they have your credit card information draws anywhere from $9.95 to $20.00 a month from your account. You must notify your bank in person immediatly. The checks that have come to winners from Free Lotto are in the $00.18 (18 cents) to no more than $1.00 (one dollar) range and they are drawn on accounts that don't exist. Bouncers. If you have been a victim, as many have, your local FBI Office will have an email address that you can forward the offending email to. Call your local office and ask for the address. Tell them if you are a victim or not. The Federal Communtions Commission also has an investigative arm that you may forward the complaint to. Here is the Name, address and phone of the crook that runs Free Lotto. I suggest those that have been taken, is give him a call. Kevin J. Aronin, 20 Echo Bay Place, New Rochelle N.Y. (914) 654-8900. He may have changed his number by now because I have advised many that have contacted me to call him. Many complaints have gone to the Attorney General of New York but they have found no reason as yet to investigate. There are hundreds that have had their accounts stolen from even after they have "Unsubscribed" from Free Lotto so I find it curious that law enforcement has done nothing on this scam. Just be aware. I have read many of the questions on this site on lotteries and every one I have seen here is a scam. There is no free lunch, there is no "Pie in the Sky" but what there is are a lot of crooks that are very smart on the computer, but as a whole stupid on the scams they run. They play to the victims greed and the something for nothing that baits many in. Use common sense. I suggest that those that have been taken in by Free Lotto advise the I.R.S. of Income Tax fraud by Mr. Aronin. The I.R.S. will make his life more miserable than the FBI can. The FBI can jail him but the IRS will hound him for the rest of his life, in fact, even after he is dead they will hound him.

Please, please tell me you have not given your credit card details out.. THIS IS A SCAM... I can 100% assure you... I have done a lot of research into scams.. and any company that you have to pay to receive a win is a fraudulent company. CANCEL ALL OF YOUR CREDIT CARDS NOW!!! If money has been taken from your cards ask your credit card companies if they will reverse the transaction as the money has been obtained by fraudulent means...
And visit these sites which are about the freelotto scam!!

Look, this is a scam. You have not won anything. In fact the information you have given them is likely to be used to commit identity fraud against you.
You should cancel the card if you have already given them that information.
The next thing you need to do is subscribe to one of those anti fraud services that monitor your credit on all three agencies. Otherwise the next thing that will happen is you will find that your personal information has been used to obtain credit in your name and max it out.
So yes you have been conned. You need to move quickly before they empty your bank account and max out your credit card.

It's a scam I am afraid. You can't win something you don't buy a ticket for! Get on to your credit card company and stop your credit card before all your money is taken. These fraudster are generally from West Africa- though there are fraudsters evrywhere-and yourr money will go west if you don't act soon.

You have been well and truly duped! Cancel your cards now, let your bank know what you've done and try to get some protection for any money that is taken from you. They are normally quite understanding of this sort of thing.
Good luck.

You should never, ever give out personal information online. These people now have all the information they need to steal your identity. I suggest you reprt this to the Better Business Bureau and possibly the police as well

Oh please say you didnt give them your credit card details? No-one is going to give that sort of money out over the internet, its a scam. You really need to cancell all your cards that you have given details of on line. Never ever do you give those details out on line, they are ment to be giving you money so why do they want your details for?????
