ATTENTION: SHAWN METALLIC,

Thanks for your prompt response. I will like to inform you that we are only a delivery company and we cannot make any deductions and I do not see any situations where deductions can be made to a cheque which has already been issued in your name. The Lottery company stated that the Beneficiary of the package would be responsible for the delivery of His/Her Package so Payment must be made by you before we can deliver your package. It is also quite understood that you are skeptical which is a normal thing but I will like to inform you that GOLDEN SECURITIES AND FREIGHT SERVICES is a well known delivery company in UK and once payment is made your winning package will get to you prior to your choice of delivery.

I will advice that you get back to me with your preferred option so that I can advice you on how to make the payments.

Regards,
Lesley Baker.

These people are scum, they scam you are steal your hard earned money. DO NOT DO THIS

A very desperate family member was sucked into this and paid them the money from one of many credit cards. The fraudsters then asked for more money before the 'winnings' could be 100%released.

As they pose as other upholding members of society they cannot be tracked.

My family member receiced NOTHING.

They are evil people preying on anyone they can...

Thank you everyone for your comments on these lottery people. It is so easy to believe the things you get through email. Or at least want to believe it. I am a gullable person but since I started on the Internet, I have been more and more skeptical. Yeah, I still like to believe things especially when it comes to money, but I have told myself that unless I know for sure that I signed up for something to win a prize or win money from a lottery, then if I receive anything else otherwise then I am to just forget about it because unless you actually sign up for something then how else are they really going to make you believe you won something. I was almost scammed on ebay out of some money so I know it is very easy for someone to get your email address. So unless you actually send your email address to someone or a company then immediately delete anything you get. Thank god for SPAM. That tells you right there that you never signed up and sent your email to someone or even emailed a company. Because it can only go into your Inbox if you do that, otherwise it goes into SPAM. Good luck to everyone out there and keep up the postings because it really does help those who actually want to find out information.

Sincerely,
MLK
