Give them the middle finger. It's a scam. As soon as you give it your credit card number, say goodbye to your money, and you'll most likely never receive anything.
Think about it. Why do you need to give out your credit card number if you won a prize. When you win a prize, it should be sent to you for free. Why do you need to give out your credit card number if you won a cash prize? So they can deposit your money into your credit card? Don't you use your credit card to make purchases, not to deposit money on it. And besides, why can't they send you a check?
If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

The only people that should be contacting you after you won something is the IRS and they would be asking you to pay your taxes on the item you just won. They NEVER ask for your credit card.
If you receive anything you didn't request or apply for then you don't owe any money, and certainly do not owe them any personal information like your credit card number.
Sometimes there are old cd's companies are trying to get rid of and they ask that if you want the product then you can apply for that online, give your credit card and the money they deduct is for the shipping costs only. But it's "you" who initiates this, not them.
I suspect that if freeloto does this and uses the word that you "won" it and you did not apply for it, but then asks for shipping then they could "possibly" not be working according to the letter of the law. "some" places do that just to get your credit card number to use your identity for illegal purposes. I would suggest your not responding to them, but, you always have free choice at what you want to do.

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

Scam. Why would you need a credit card to mail a check? Sounds silly.
