European Lottery Guild unrequested postal spam

Unwanted postal scam inviting me to a "free"prize draw which actually costs $40 NZ so not free at all. Giveaway is where they ask for your bank details. Are there really so many gullible people out there to make this a worthwhile business?Whilst this is mainly an irritation to me I'm more concerned about how they got my address here in NZ as I only moved here a couple of months ago, so the only people who know where I live are: 1.Westpac bank 2.Snap - Internet providers. 3.My Employer. and 4.Contact Energy suppliers. Would any of these companies be selling lists to the Scammers?I'll probably be writing to them all to check anyway. Any info you have would be much appreciated

European Lottery Guild Possible scam

This company sent my now deceased parent an international entry registration for a british lottery special combination series. It looks very professional. Whilst the company has an address in the Netherlands, Europe when I telephoned to query verification it was an american telephone system under pacific standard time.

This letter was unsolicited and targeted an elderly man (90). The website www.europeanlotteryguild.com is not accessible.

I would urge absolute caution. If it is to good to be true, then it is to good to be true style of thinking.

It's now 2017. I've just gone through the bank statements i can find of my aunt who has recently died and see that she spent £17, 220 on the European Lottery Guild and this is just what I can find. At the time when I made the discovery a couple of years ago we were reimbursed £11, 000 from Lloyds Bank but I had no idea how long it had been going on for. Nearly 10 years! I really cannot tell you how upsetting it is to see people such as my aunt vulnerable and easily conned on the telephone during the day wasting their money on something they have no idea about. If my aunt had been easier to deal with i.e. let me see her statements, this would never have happened.

Hi! My name is Shah from Malaysia.
In the past 2mths I received a call from European Lottery.com through the Agent Daisy Canero asking me to play the play the lottery. She's quite cunning asked me to play but I ignored her until today 20 0f May 2015 a gir from Vancouver Canada named Amy. I don't know why I give her my debit card number. Until then I read some of the comments here telling me they are actually scammers!. Thank god I withdrew my money right away and I guess I have to ask my banker to cancel my card and replace a new one!

I thought I was playing the Irish lottery, I was told I could join a syndicate and increase my chance of winning.
I received a call and was persuaded to pay £86 for a year as it would save me money like a twit I did.then I got and still do regular calls pushing me to buy more tickets etc, they wont take no for an answere so I hang up.
I don't know if this is genuine am I in some kind of lottery or have I been conned?
I get mail regularly from aussie pushing for more money now I am invited to join the 25 club?
Have I been conned out of my money?

I played the el gordo Christmas lottery through ELG two of my tickets won prizes, I checked this on the el gordo website. Based on the amount of decimas for each winning ticket number, 7 decima in a ticket that won 100 euro for example I would have thought this meant that I had won 70 euros of the prize and the other ticket I had 6 decima of a 20 euro prize =12 euros. But no...not according to ELG I had only won a little over 3 euro because I was in a syndicate, how many people pay and play the same ticket? Even though I had spent more than I should have, initially I was still happy with what I thought I had won. Stay away from the European Lottery Guild, rip off artists !

Same happened to me, they contacted me to play and out of weariness I paid the £8 and started receiving more calls to play more when I haven't exhausted the £8 then my bank called me telling me ELG attempted to remove £35 pounds from my act twice luckily for me my act was running zero so they couldn't remove any money. When I called to complain, an elderly woman with Indian accent picked it up, I ve cancelled my debit card and requested a new. Stay away from them
