Has anyone rec'd docs. from O.R.P.B. in Holland saying they've won £47.600 but need to send £20 to claim it

Question

The docs. were posted to me not emailed. Someone called Shepmeko asked if anyone had heard of this company. I believe this is a scam, but would like to know if anyone else has received similar post as the docs. state that I am the first winner.

Answer 1

copy/paste & read this link from a person asking this same question a week ago.

And from members of my families experience, i need to tell you that once you reply to any of these scam letters requesting money , because you have "won a prize".

They then sell your details on to other companies, who will in turn contact you. It's called the DUMMY LIST.

Avoid at all costs. these companies operate out of Holland and Spain. and the UK.
Ask yourself a few questions.

Did you even take part in a competition to win money in Holland or anywhere .?

Why would you have to pay out £ in order for them to "RELEASE YOUR PRIZE FUNDS"

If it seems to good to be true, it usually is!!!!!

Answer 2

I have received loads of these from all over the world I used to post them back without paying the postage telling them to take the money out of their winnings, of course it's a scam and the more official they look the bigger the scam.

Answer 3

I have had several of these, my most memorable one was saying i had won half a million doll as i let myself fantasise for a few moments then tore it up and put it in the bin, silly me not paying the 49 dollar fee(ha,ha) seriously though dont send any money to anyone if you ever do legitimately win something then you wont have to pay

Answer 4

dont do it, its a con. imagine if they sent out hundreds for the price of a stamp and got back £20 per envelope!!
ITS A CON, THROW IT AWAY

Answer 5

Answer 6
