I also received the emails congratulating me that I have won a large amount of GBP. I received the documentation all of you received via email and I phoned the UK number given in the email. I got through to a woman, I think, called Mrs Ly Song and I had a conversation with her all the way from South Africa to the Uk via landline. I too need verification whether this ius a scam or if it’s the real deal….I too can do with that amount of money in my current life and situation.
I got the same message and I also got the Power of attorney form but decided to google the Name of this firm and then found this site can you please point out the flaws in this form because I intend not to leave everything here.
This is 100% a scam and you DO NOT want to continue – They will then ask for your personal information and it all goes down hill from here! Beware – Send me the Power Of Attorney form so that I can share it with everyone and point out the flaws!
Thanks!
Mrs. Ly Song sent her Power of Attorney form for winnings that need to be collected on my behalf in London. Is this a scam and where do they get our emails.
i need to find out if the e-mail was a scam, because i am trying to check if it is true and have difficulties tracking it down due to the fact that i don’t know where.
i have search the batch ref nr and came to this site. don’t know why. i did enter uk national lottery via internet, but i can’t say for sure that this reply is from them, where can i find out?
Hi,
I received my email 14th June 2010 saying I had won over $2,000,000 US and to have my attorney contact Mrs. Song. It’s definitely a scam. Delete and buy a lottery ticket !!
My name is Orhan Tahpur located in Ankara-Turkey and would like to inform everybody that i had never a e-mail id at (satheo@sify.com) whole in my life.
Also i had never a connection with Safeway Financial Services. Just heard their name here. Therefore i request you to delete my name from this site.
I think some peoples are useing my name for their wrong business transaction.
Please be informed and act accordingly.
Best Regards,
Orhan Tahpur

Hi there, in my letter, it stated that only two people are selected per month for this promotion, I got mine in february 2010 and as far as I can count three other people too. So how can this be a legit thing if there are more that two winners as they stated only two winners per month are selected. This is a Scam Guys! Dont get cought!
I was also notified of a large win. They require fees. Does anyone know if this attorney firm (Ly Song) is legit?
If its too good to be true it probably is….
Postcode is incorrectly displayed on the letterhead (second part of postcode should only has one number and two letters)…ALARM bells
By law all companies must display their registration number for England and Wales – this is missing…ALARM bells
They do not have their telephone number on the letterhead…ALARM bells!!!!
same here would also like to know about LS KINDS LLP Notary also same person LY SONG. Please advise. Thanks
I am also trying to locate Ly Song and her attorney firm. Telephone numbers doesn’t work. Seems like the whole world has won large sums of cash!!!
The responses we getting are most likely computer generated.
If you ask me – its a scam.
I would also like to know the validity of LS Kinds LLP and Notaries situated at 21 Vernon Str, London, SE1 27SE, England and if they exist. Also received mail that I have won a large sum of money. Is this a scam?
I’ve just received the email about a large sum of money too – I’m 99.99% sure it is a hoax – but my Dad could really use the money and I don’t want to give up on it?
I would like to know the validity of LS Kinds llp & Notaries who told a friend of mine that he won money a very big amount and that a Mrs Ly Song is the acting attorney for them . Addres are 21 Vernon street ,London , SE1 27sw ,England.
He wants to know if it is a scam.
Thanks
