Here is the website for the 17 nation law enforcement task force that investigates cross border Internet crime. File a complaint there. www.econsumer.gov No one has won anything and they are using their people to answer questions on this site claiming they have. Make sure to go the website I list below.They said you won One million, ten thousand and three hundred. Free Lotto has also started a new scam that they claim they are the distributors of the winnings and sellers of legitimate lottery tickets. They are claiming a prize of one hundred and nine-five million dollars. There is no TSN number or C V V code it is part of the scam. 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 Communications 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 and (914) 654-8976. 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

Buddy, dont be fooled it is a scam probably a nigerian. Ask them u wish to come and collect the cheque personally and they would refuse citing one or the other reason. If you answer that mail once u will receive various other mails of different scamesters asking for your help to get the money of their father or their cleint or someone or the other and thus fool u. Search the web for Nigerian Scam and u will find loads of them.
And last but not the least, did u give ur mail for any kind of lotto or lottery if not then how in the world did u win.
Keep thinking .....

Any real lotto would give you a cheque. Just think why would they want your bank details?: to withdraw all your money.
P.S. there is no big lotto jackpot, that they are offering, its all just a scam to get YOUR money.

Me too - I won $20million. Funny though I sent them my bank details and two days later I was £10,000 over-drawn, do you think they're related ?
Must go because some lawyer from Nigeria wants my details because apparently I have inherited £7million from some called Gretdwa Bonga - I need to send him my bank details for the cash to pay off the overdraft

So did I. Were you not a millionth visitor to a website or something that silly?
Your bank details? They are probably thieves and want to get all the money in your account or to use it for some illegal purpose. They even get to call you sometimes.
Tell them to give you a cheque (the best option), or give them a bank acoount with no money in it.

ITS A SCAM! Don;t give them your information. Banks would NEVER send you an e-mail asking for your information.

It's a total scam. If you give them your bank info they can access your account and withdrawal all your money.

No, it is a scam. Give them your personal information only if you want to be ripped off.
