On january 7, 2017 I received a letter stating I won a lottery in england for $130, 000 on may 14 2016. And to contact roy willis or gina ray and to send bank account information. I'm from massachusetts not england. They state I had a lot # picked which was [protected]. They also state that I would need to go to buffalo, new york for payment. I have never heard of this place or company so I believe it is a scam.

I got a Letter today from Colemans Securities, Inc. #3 Dale Street, London, England telling me I had won $150, 000.00 in a lottery drawing that was held on May 14th, 2016. The letter stated that I am to call [protected] for processing information and as soon as I pay the processing fees I will receive a certified check. Really? By now there should be no doubt-EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS A SCAM!

Mine has different contact names and winning numbers, but the exact same date of the drawing and prize amount. What fun.

I got a letter too! The man sound like it was a joke! I got the a cashier check for 4, 350.00 today! When he asked me was my bank open today, I thought that was weird. I told him I wasn't in a hurry! He told me to call back tomorrow for a FedX tracking # to track the remaining bance of 96, 650.00. I notice you cant call that # anytime you wont get an answer. He gave me a time to call tomorrow

Recieved a letter from Green Crest Securities, Inc., London, England. Can't find it listed anywhere, but the amount is the same. Lottery numbers are different. Recieved a ck for what is supposed to be Government Taxes and Clearance Fee, but not to cash until I call them again. Haven't decided yet to call or not. Call numbers are 800 numbers. Ck is supposedly drawn on Wells Fargo Bank in Hightown, NJ. Will probably call just to see what they say. Have given them no information, nor will I. Just wondering how in the world they get away with this.

So you got Sladgate also? I hate these scammers! They are everywhere even on job boards. They are getting really smart and fancy with their scams also.

I put the check in the bank and now the bank is investigating it as fraud. But I have all the papers and the call logs where they've called me. I haven't sent anybody anything.

My daughter who's 11yrs old just received the same exact letter from Sladgate Securities Inc today, Jun 8, 2017. The letter stated that she drew lucky numbers [protected]. The letter was from Prize Director, John Dalforre- [protected]. Ask for John Dalforre or Cynthia Morgan.

I got a letter with a cashier's check in it. I called "John" he told me to deposit it in the bank. So I did, but to call him the next day. My bank told me the check won't clear until tomorrow anyway. But I call today and he says I need to MoneyGram 2 women 2 different amounts for taxes and such and call him back. Then supposedly I will receive a FedEx tracking # for my big check.

Don't ever send money to anyone! If this was real they would have taken the taxes out. It can clear and then the bank will find out later it didn't. So then the money you sent you will be liable for once the check is reversed. Never ever cash a check. I made that mistake years ago and almost cost me a lot of money and legal action.

Mine is from fast lotto crest securities with the exact same amount and the exact same winning numbers. Also from england, but the names are Paul Kelly and Tina Reed.

So yea, 100% scam. Lazy ones too - can't even auto generate different winning numbers.
