Can you answer this for me, ohbrother?

Question

ohbrother, if you had bothered reading the question I asked correctly, you would have understood that I did not ask if the United Nations was running a lottery. I did not ask if the lottery was operated by the United Nations. I asked if you had heard of the United Nations Lottery Promotions. But apparently your mind was somewhere else. If you had grasped the information I provided correctly, you would have clearly had the sense to state whether or not you've dealt with these people. A yes or no answer would have been the only answer you were required to give. Or did you miss that in all of your police trainning? Giving me the names of other lotteries to enter was not only asinine, it was also pointless. It seems to me that the one who is not dealing with reality is not me. It is you. If the best you can do is to be sarcastic when a question is asked, then I feel most sorry for you.

Answer 1

Otis, everyone's responses are trying to tell you the same thing: this is a scam. Sorry if sarcasm offends you, but you have to have more common sense than to think that you won some lottery that you never entered.

But fine, ignore the advice. Go contact this "United Nations Lottery Promotions" service, and be sure to give them your credit card info, identification info, and everything else that they'll inevitably ask for. Then you can have fun trying to reclaim your credit and identity for the next few years.

Here's a hint: what legit company that you know of goes around handing random people money via e-mail? How exactly would this business work? Look at this forum, there are dozens of people posting the same types of e-mail scams. They did not all win millions of dollars. Neither did you.

Answer 2

Here is your original question. I read and answered what you asked.
I received an email from United Nations Lottery Promotions. Are they legitimate?
They told me that I won E2,500,000.00 GBP in their online lottery. I've sent several emails to them, to which they haye responded. They have provided several documents of proof that they are for real, and that I have really won. I've been asked to send money to pay for the insurance on this large amount. I even spoke with a Mr. Steven White, who handles the TNT Courier Sevices. The TNT Courier office is located out of London,United Kingdom, and the British Lottery Promotions is based out of Croydon, London. They have used your logo with their promotions. I just want to be sure that this is for real. Please respond. Thanks.

Your second question.
To ohbrother: how can you be sure? Have you ever dealt with this company before?
Ohbrother, there has been no mention of money being wired to me, nor has there any instructions to cash any check to send to anyone anywhere. I'm not saying that this is a for real deal. But I'm in need of known facts about this organization, and any proof that you can shed on this will be most helpful. I'm not saying that your years of experience is not accurate. I just want positive facts about this companys' practicies. Any light would be most helpful.

I apologize if I hurt your feelings. Here is something to ponder. Out of all the billions of people in world, except China, they never ask gambling questions do they, why and how would a U.N. lottery promotions company just grab your email out of the air. A lottery you never paid to join, thats how they work you know. You must pay to play. I would think more about how they got my email address and now how many more scams are going to have access to it.
