scam mail!
I have received emails telling me I have won £500.000, from lotto sweepstakes.the courier service want between £600-£800 to deliver. All this is a con. They have at least 7 different people named as courier managers and none of them exist. Do not bother reading their emails they are scamming all of us.I contacted TNT, the real one's and they are aware of this scam.
The police should be made aware of what they are doing and lock them up for years. People are pinning their hopes on the prizes but they don't exist. It is always the same amount won and always different addresses of where the TNT office is. These people should burn in hell.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
phony shipping delivery!
This email message was sent and responded to, earlier today:
Great, another scam mail, I do not posses the financing you seek. How do I know this is a scam? You did not send the consignment number to verify the alleged shipment or give a proper address, telephone or fax number. Also, why would any funds won on a random ballot contest for Pepsi come to an American citizen from the UK?

I have received an email from Mr.Moore Client service manager TNT courier sevice regarding the delivery of winnings from UK lottery.
Whether it is true or not kindly convey me details.
A look at the complaints should trigger some investigations so that the fraudsters can be lured into the net and be procecuted to save the innocent people who are being robbed of their cash daily. The companies whose names are being coined and used to look like it is genuine must take steps now or risk losing business. How can we tell the differences?
scam lottery
I received several emails from multiple people that all stated the same thing. Namely that I had won the U.K. National Lottery. I did some research and found that other people had been taken by these scammers and had sent checks to the so-called courier company but then never saw anything back. Several of the e-mail addresses that where used have been deleted and are no longer in service.
These people are out there to steal your money and there seems o be no way to trace them.

scam lottery from the uk
Well first off let me start off saying that im shocked that there is alot people out there taking advantage out of honest people. I received an email saying i had won 500.000.00 uk lottery. I then received another email saying that i needed to hurry up and send the info they needed, shortly after that i received another email saying that before i received the check i would have to pay the shipping expenses which depending on whether i wanted it to get here faster i would have to pay more. The cheapest rate was really close to 500 dollars. You know it really sucked because i really believed them the first couple of emails i got but i knew there was a catch seeing how iv never purchased lottery in the uk and then when i attempted to ask to get answers the guy just tried to distract and never really answered any questions i asked nor could they prove it was real. My advise to people is to never trust anyone especially when it involves large amounts of money.

excessive courier charges
A copy of email sent to TNT Courier Services:
AWB No. [protected] of September 13, 2007
Recently my brother-in-law in Australia sent me a courier through TNT Courier Services, containing a car stereo and three DVDs, AWB No. [protected] of September 13, 2007
On September 13, the company delivered the packet with a demand for Rs 3,841. We were shocked how could a simple car stereo have an import duty component more than its original price, in this age of liberalisation?
The car stereo cost AUS $ 85 or about Rs 3,000. Along with the DVDs, the total value of the consignment was written down as AUS $100. When I saw the copy of the valuation paper, I was shocked that the total valuation, including value of the goods, freight and insurance, of Rs 4,200 has been arbitrarily escalated to Rs 10,100 or nearly AUS $ 300 as the amount on which customs duty would have to be levied.
My contention is if Indian customs were escalating the original value of the goods, then I should have been informed and given the option either to argue my case with Indian customs or agree to get the parcel delivered home through TNT on payment of the duty of Rs 3841.
This arbitrary hike in the basic valuation of a product is so capricious that I am surprised that a company of such repute allowed it to happen and then did not even bother to inform me of the same.
Not for one moment did someone bother to reason that a car stereo is available in India for a cost less than the duty being charged.
My brother in law, at WAIS Australia is also appalled at this incident.
Worse, I also note that there are other people and companies on the same list as me, for instance a fabric company in Noida, whose basic valuation of Rs 3000 has been increased to Rs 12,000, then this figure too has been slashed and then increased to Rs 23,000, on which amount the customs duty is levied.
Doesn't your company offer any resistance to arbitrary hikes by customs, that far exceed the declared value of goods? Doesn't your company bother to inform the recipient about any excessive customs duty charge?
Doesn't your company care about its customer? If you want, I can ask my brother in law to produce the invoice for the car stereo.
I hope we can still resolve this issue.

I live in Canada and received a sample gift from China, the gift may cost the most $20 dollars. I asked the gift shop if there any extra fee if I receive this gift, they confirmed me that won't be any charge from the courier. 8 months later, I received a bill from TNT courier with the amount of $27.58, brokage fee. Asked them why I received the bill so late, if not I would not accept the package. Told me they are always back log for a year or so to bill, which is unbelievable lie ... I emailed the gift shop and will not get or buy anything from them if they use TNT courier.

Well I've received a Sweepstakes one and MR TAYLOR WHITE said to me after I said to him that people advise people like me to say that you could be a scam or con. He replied never never think of us as a scam and so and so about the payment he said.
2 things impressed me which was
1 he attached the winning certificute
2 he halfed the cheaper option as I told him I was a student
I spoke to another person who said it's not a problem all you do is this.
NOW I'm going to go forward with this so that I discover a lesson or just be in with the chance of it happening to be true.
If you didn't enter any lottery, chances are you didn't win it. Also, any time you win money from a legitimate outlet, they'll (as far as I know) never ask you for any money. The best thing to do if you suspect a scam is to google the name of the company...that's how I found this site.
Well, the Bible says you cannot serve God and mammon (which I think is an older term for money or wealth, but you can google it) so I don't suppose they'll be happy at the judgment if they don't repent. I've gotten into the habit, if I think something is a scam, to just put the alleged company's name into a search engine...that's how I found this site!
Got the same crap - from amarketa@uwlax.edu. The e-mail actually originated from a uwlax.edu server - I sent the IT group an e-mail about the spam and asked them to investigate - though I imagine I'll never hear anything about it.
I received this email today. Sad thing is that there is probably someone out there who sent them the money hoping it was for real. I agree there is a special place in hell for people like this!
Greetings!
