Is the AUSTRALIA LOTTO LOTTERY INC. a scam?

Answer 1

Yes. You cannot win a lottery you didn't enter. Forward it to [e-mail]

Answer 2

Oh ya JK it is cuz I have won in the last month 1.5 million 3 times lol...just recently I got an e-mail a couple of times from people saying that someone has died and has no next of kin and has in the bank millions and would like me to pretend to be next of kin n will do the paper work n I would get a percentage not all but some of the money.I have reported both times but they ask for a bank account number and other info about myself and I believe it's to either steal identities or to do a scam under my name.Wow to think that some really do fall for these.Some make them out to be a company that's well known like coca cola n I would have believed it if they had not said don't call the company for the money I won that I'm to respond to the link they gave n if I told about it I wouldn't get it n if I told others would try to claim it.So overall everything is a scam when it comes to winning anything like that online.Hope that helps and have a great weekend.

This is a Nigeria scam. Yahoo/MSN, U.K. and Australian lotteries, football lotteries from the same counties, Global-Link, World Poverty, Microsoft, Free Lotto, which now seems to have it's own people answering gambling questions on this site claiming they have won which is a total lie, and hundreds more. I am a retired Police Officer that has years of experience investigating Internet scams and frauds. This is an old one. The common link to them getting your email is on line surveys. Yahoo does not give it's stock holders money away nor does it give it's email subscribers address's to lotteries. The only way to win in a lottery is to buy a ticket, if you didn't you could not possibly win. Here is the website of the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. You may file a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov. Also go to www.ripoffreport.com and browse complaints and you will find many having the same doubts as yourself about these scams. Below is a typical scam and how they work it. They just go under a thousand different names. They are asking you to send a prepayment to collect your winnings and they want you to send it by a money wire service. Lotteries do not just pick your name out of thin air, and just so happen to have your email also. No Internet service provider gives their email list out to lotteries. If you did not pay to play you could not possibly win.
