i received a e-mail dat i won in lottery but i dont know if it is true and they used ur account to deposit my winning price.. should i believe it or not
March 12th, 2007 at 10:15 pm
So has anyone ever actually attempted to receive the funds or actually paid for the transfer? What happens when you do actually pay the courier service? How do people go about reporting this type of thing to any authorities?
Sincerely,

March 27th, 2007 at 8:31 am
Received an email from E.U Lottery Online Agency which is too good to be true but looks authentic enough. The prize is one million euros. the email address is eulagencybzz at aim.com. Not biting !!!
April 3rd, 2007 at 2:09 pm

April 23rd, 2007 at 7:19 pm
April 21,2007 at 11:00am
recieved a email saying i won 1million euros and want us to send 1114.00$ us dollars to get the winning ticket through western union.
This might be a scam! hopefully someone can shed some light on this.

Hi Bill,
The Netherlands Gaming Board notification you received is a big trick to get your money. Seems like a great deal, $1,000 for $1,357,999 dollars, doesn’t it ($1,357,399 US equals 1,000,000 Euros).
It’s not - think $1,000 for nothing and you’ll be more in line.
Fact it, these types of email are a big scam, it can be the Netherlands Gaming Board or Google Lotto, they are all fake and you will be giving away your money.
In fact, there is something going around where they use Western Union to wire you $1,000 up front - you think you have the money, but really, it takes 3 days to clear (something like this). Most people in that 3 days fall for the trick and by the time they try to get their money back, it is too late.

I received an e-mail stating that I won $500,000US from Dayzers Loterij. They wanted me to contact SPLFREIGHT to make arrangements to receive my check. I must pay for the delivery to me. The company who sent me the information told me not to say anything to anyone until they contacted me with the instructions. Should I turn this over to the local police???
May 6th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
It sure will not hurt - if they get enough of these scams from Dayzers Loterij I’m sure they will do something! At least you are letting others know about this as well and possibly saved someone a lot of money!
Thank you for posting!
May 16th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
If it is too good to be true then it probably is not true - how on earth do people foall for this cobblers?
May 21st, 2007 at 9:05 pm
I just got the same e-mail last week.
I was so happy, but I didn’t really believe it, because I felt it was fake, but I really hope it was true. Few days later, I decided to tell my mother, my mother told my father and sister, both of them called me from Taiwan to America, just tried to remind me it must be fake! They told it doesn’t make any sense that someone would give me money without any purpose.
Tell the truth, I was not really happy to heard that, but I still consider about what they said, then I got online to do some research, then I found out: it is a fake one!!!
After that, I tried to ask them something, but they never answer me, just wanted me to send my account to the bank in Netherlands as soon as possible, if not, they would dismiss my qualication of winning. I e-mail them, how about give one million U.S dollars to poor people, and I gave them a website to contribute, also told them I will call World Vision group to make sure if they do it.
May 22nd, 2007 at 9:58 am
In fact, the reason that I almost believed this lie, because they even gave the phone number of Fedex, and person from Fedex contacted with me, too.
Because I thought, even Netherlands is fake, would Fedex cheat me with them?
or it just like my sister said, because Fedex didn’t know what Netherlands tell a truth or a lie?
June 28th, 2007 at 6:05 am
I received e-mail from Lotto.nl (infolothzisn-at-walla.com, with contact e-mail snsbnk-at-aim.com (again!). Like, I won 1 million euros on online award program to promote internet using (among 50,000 companies).
In the second e-mail (supposed to be from the SNS Bank in the Netherlands) that I must work with the banks notary to confirm my identity, send my photocopied ID or drivers licence, bank account et al, so the Netherlands Gaming Board can clear my winnings. And, oh boy!), that I have to deposit a minimum sum at the bank, not deductible, they say. Of course, I didn t send what they wanted. Strange they sent this to my office e-mail, which is evident from the e-mail address.
July 27th, 2007 at 1:44 am
I received an annouuncement from “Powerball Lotto” — Lotto-Wheel E-Games 2007–that, based on selecting my email addess they had a cheque in my name for $500,000. I had to send them either $2500 or $5000 to set up an account with Regio bank into which they would place these winnings. Up until then I thought maybe it was for real. One option was to travel to the Netherlands for “cash collection” as opposed to the bank transfer, but I doubt many people from the US to that.

These Internet users including yourself, pay access fees to various
Internet Service Providers (ISP) all over the word who in turn remit
surplus

for the development and advancement of Global Information Technology.
So much money is generated from people like you all over the World for
using the Information Superhighway (the Internet) without your being
aware the enormous sum that go to the stake holders (WWITC). Without

research on the issue, we concluded that Internet users should be
compensated. As a result, we embarked on a worldwide lottery promotion

Silly me, receiving letters from the following
persons telling me I have won 900000 euros. How
big a fool do they think I am. My winning no.
was 00-18-34-77-03(72-90). My first letter was
from Mr fred Van Tel no 0031627235141. The
second letter was from Mr Leonard Vero tel no
0031617029562, which I could not reach because
of his voice mail. Advocate Larry Brown Tel

After my letter to Advocat Fredrick Daniels

telling him that I have reported this scam
to you, I have not heard any word from anyone.
But they were pushing me into paying 550 euros

I do hope somebody will catch these assholes,
before they con any other people out of their
hard earned money.

I received all of the same emails everyone is talking about. It said I won $2,500,000.00 and to send my name and all of that information to a Mr Edward Lestra. I was curious so I did. He sent me back a claims form to be filled out and faxed to him. I did that too out of curiosity and he called me back on the phone telling me that they were going to check all my information and make sure that I was “worthy of the prize.” Two days later I recieved another email thhat said I passed the screening and that I had to choose the kind of account I wanted to open- daily, premium, or platinum that required different amounts of money to deposit to get the account open so I could transfer the money online. I know that all of it is a scam and I am going to let Mr Lestra know that and that I will be contacting my lawyer to see if there is anyhting I can do about it so no one falls for these wanna be scam artists because I know they were waiting to here from me and get my money.
December 22nd, 2007 at 11:31 pm
HI, I RECEIVE THE SAME INFORMATION. BUT I RECEIVE THE MR. EDWARD LESTRA. HE CONTINUE THE PROCESS TO CLAIME THE GIFT.
HE CALL ME BY TELEPHONE AND I QUESTION: THIS IS REAL OR NOT?, HE IT SAID, IF IT WAS NOT REAL, I NOT CALLING YOU.
I QUESTION YOUR NAME AND HIM SAME. I QUESTION, YOU WORKING TO NATIONAL LOTERRY, AND HE SAID YES.
HE EXPLAIN ME, THAT MY PRIZE IS IN A ACCOUNT IN YOUR BANK WAITING FOR ME. ONLY I NEED OPEN ACCOUNT AND HE SEND THE MONEY BY TRANFERS TO THIS ACCOUNT.
I HAVE IT DOUBTS AND ITSELF BE NOT TO DONE THAT.
December 30th, 2007 at 9:33 am

January 10th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
Hello, These guys Mr. Lestra and Harry Smith are a real pair. I almost fell for their lies. I keep communicating with them to make them fell like they have accomplished something. I am trying to find someone who will make guys like these stop and grow up to be adults.
January 10th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
Hello, Again A true lottery does not make you pay any funds for winning!!! Noone in the USA can win a lottery from another country because of the strick gambling laws!!!
January 10th, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Hello, Everyone, Please donot Listen to anything Harry Smith tells you. He is a scam artist!!! Do not send him anything buy a hard time.
January 15th, 2008 at 11:14 am
I recieved an e-mail like this as well, I googled the name “Mr. Edward Lestra” and found this page here. Now that I know it is a scam I am going to hunt this jurk down. FOR REAL!!!! I do not like people trying to mess with me, this jerk made a big mistake, I don’t mind flying around the world to mess him up for it! These scum bags need to learn and the cops have no interest in doing anything because it doesn’t serve an any source of revenue for the city, they pursue parking infractions with a more agressive attitude than these types of frauds.

dear friends, i can hardly count the number of emails i got from these people, telling that i’m one of the six lucky winners of some kind of drawing. a few day ago , i got an email from this guy Lestra informed me that i won 2,5 millions, he had also sent me a claims form to fill in. I’m getting tired of all this, wondering if there is no offices or organisation to handle against those fraudulent activities.
Hope that no one has not been enough naive to beleive in those lies.
be careful, don’t give them any credential information, like your bank account or the number of your passport, just give them what they already know, like your name, adress and so on.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:37 am

I also received the e-mail telling me that I have won the prize. to my suprise, I had a feeling that this was a scam and told them that this is a scam. Why can’t they deposit the money into my account if I’m the winner? You can’t believe what “Mr Anik Ivan” as I know him from anikivan@live.com said to me. He said that I should deposit Euro 720 which is almost R8300.00 in our currency and he siad that I should deposit it or try to raise the money wihtin 14 days or else my winning will be tranfered to some-one.
He even phoned me using a private number saying that I must make that payment and after I should call him for my prize. That made me even more suspicious. I phoned my friend and told him about this and he told me to enter this website and see that this is a scam. I’m happy to have a friend like him. I almost got scammed.
I wish you could do something about this so that most of the people won’t fall for this.

4/10/2008: Guess what ? I am worried folks, I live in the San Bernardino area and the emails I received are initiated from the same person (Mary Van Dotcha) as the one above, sent to Victoria Ramsey on 1/27/2008. There is a Peter Davis (a real man) that has approached me asking for my email and phone number at a conference where all of the people present are supposed to be working members of my home Corporation-BE CAREFUL and email me if you can be supportive anyway. I am upset as our little Family is quite vulnerable. I am contacting my Corporate office to see whether this Peter Davis is legit. If I find out anything, I will let you know. My email is usadmbd@yahoo.com. Thanks.
