I am a Senior Fraud Victim Advocate with Fraudaid.org , first of all what you have experienced is what we call a Fake Lottery Scam. It is designed for one purpose only and that is to get innocent and unsuspecting people involved in the fantasy of winning a ton of money. They use this scam to do one of two things:

Launder money by sending you a check with your winnings letter and instructing you to depsosit the check and send off a portion of it to pay so called fees and taxes to free up your winnings OR for the purpose of getting you to pay advanced fees to gain access to your winnings. Here are the cold hard facts:

1. If you did not purchase a lottery ticket , you could not have won that lottery. Why? Lotteries only exist on the money gained through the sale of tickets. The money they get from people purchasing tickets IS the money or at least a portion of that money that is dished out in winnings.

2. IF you have gotten a surprise winning notification and a check from a lottery company you had better verify that the lottery is real and that the check was indeed issued to you by the " Account Holder". Most likely that check is Counterfeit and you can wind up in a heap of trouble either with your bank or legally if you cash it.

NEVER EVER send money to anyone you do not know via services like Western Union, Money Gram etc based on a sales pitch or promise. Those services are widely used to scam people out of hard earned money. Why? Simply put... once that money is sent and picked up at the other end there is NO way to retrieve it or to recover your losses.

For more information on scams and how to protect yourself visit us at www.fraudaid.org What you do not know can hurt you.

Always remember ...

Silence is a thief's best friend... word-of-mouth is his worst enemy! Spread the word.

Freeloto! Freelotto! Freelotto!

Procurei entender essa brincadeira de mau gosto.
Vocês estão indo longe de mais. Acredito que DEUS não deixará vocês continuarem com esse site diabólico na internet . Criar expectativa, aumentar o nível de ansiedade, fazer com que as pessoas pensem que receberam um grande prêmio, é crime. Portanto, nada fica impune diante dos olhos de DEUS e dos homens.

Laura dos Santos Carneiro, pergunta a quem possa informar se realmente o prêmio será pago e quando?
Em sua Notificação (PAI & PENDING CHECK STATUS RELEASE) constam não só o nome de LAURA DOS SANTOS CARNEIRO LAURA como classificada para ganhar prêmios, bem como, os nomes de William Herriott, M.K. da índia, Esther do Canadá e outros que já constam pela internet o recebimento dos seus prêmios.
LAURA DOS SANTOS CARNEIRO LAURA agradece a atenção da resposta.

I am also a Winner. Still I could not register with you. I tried to send my money by HSBC credit card. But you did not accept it. My Commercial Bank Credit can collect in this week. If I register later can I collect my cheque. A lot of my friends also like to join with you.
Still I have trust with you.
I Disagree Those Complaint. I think they did not follow the instruction
correctly. I will try to follow the instructions.

I like freelotto. You figure today that nothing is free. Man has to pay for it or either work of it. How in the world a man or a multicompany can give such a million to an unknown person. I can conclude here is that we can point to the freelotto but the rest four are pointing back at ourselves. Remember, nothing is free.

I received an email from Freelotto New York congratulating me for winning $1.000.000.00 us dollars and a copy of a check for the same amount stating for immediate payment with my name and address. the date of the check was 5/1/07 and as me to respond by the 5/4/07. The letter further stated that I have 30 days to claim my prize. I have been trying to respond to this email since the 5/2/07 and have provided them with all the requested information, but heard nothing from them. I have been a subscriber of freelotto for a year and have in so far received two checks for the amount of $1.00 us dollars posted to my address. free lotto has been taking money from my credit card account since then and sending me weekly results of automatic selection of numbers as it was my choice via email. I thought that it was legal, but now I have the filling that they have ripped me off, the address on the top left inside of the check stated: Division of Unclaimed Funds, Po Box 4562, New york, NY 10163, check # 102f2r4e7 I live in UAE and would like to get some advise on what to do so that we can bring these crooks to justice please help.

We are all in the same scam boat...same story...My advise is Do not play any freelotto on the web/net, pse only register at the official booth/office in your country to be safe. Playing lotto is gambling and be sure you are dealing with real gambling enterprises who are officially registered... just a friendly advice from the Republic of Fiji Islands.

i had email about winning lotto from freelotto too, asked me to give my credit card number, which i dont have, went to google to find out more, if its to true to fulfil my dreams, dreaming that i dont have to work hard soon, thanks googles, you have saved me, free lotto winning is scam, waste of time.There are other who sends you mail from post, of winning lottery certificate from south america, they ask for pass port, driver licence to fax them, and pay legal fee, US$1000, if not least US$700 if not $300, to get my winning $1M, I end up getting high phone bill calling them with my high expectation. but i didnt pay a cent logically.it is SCAM.dont waste your time and money.Its looting.

I have also got the same prize winning amount i.e. one million Dollers.
Even it is written in terms & conditions clause, that It is banned for INDIA, Ghana, and so on countries... than why the hell they are sending mails to indians...
