    This past Sunday, May 5, 2013 I got an e-mail stating I was a winner at google-gmail yahoo lottery. They did NOT give me a lottery number or a serial number just some one to contact. Then after I sent them $400.00 for the shipping fee they sent me a tracking number for DHL. A lagit pacial service. I put in that tracking number and my home info was there along with the package. And a spacific time and date of delivery to my home. So it seems lagit to me. Or is it? Now they are stuck at the check point in India because that’s where it is coming from. The need the taxes paid for before they deliver it to my home. They even called me about 5 times already. I will have to sell my home. My molil home in order for me to pay the taxes so they can deliver my winnings. I need help ASAP. SOULD I GO FORWORD?

  2. moroccan says:

    i got the same email this week may 2011 with the same ticket number; serial and lucky number as some other googlers

  3. Nezhdana says:

    I had the similar situation with “big money in a short time”. And I want to say “THANKS” to all people who wrote about this & protect others.

  4. Adrianna says:

    This is some let down!!!!

    I really thought I won the lottery! I was thinking about what i will do with my money i even started calling non-profit organizations about giving ten percent of the amount awarded as they said:

    Please endeavor to donate not less than 10% of your winning to any internationally recognized charity homes closer to you so that a lot of the less privilege once can feel our contribution.

    Google better do something about this, i called the head quarters in Santa Moncia where I live in California and clearly they told me its a scam.

    We can file lawsuits for fraud, no beuno!!!!!!!!

    I wonder if anyone went through the whole process by submitting their bank account information…….

    received a email stating that I won the fifa uk National Lottery prize, Batch Ref nr Uk/86/07/0KY.

    I replied to email address manager.born@gala.net

    Is this a scam or for real?

  6. Sandra Zschorler says:

    Ich habe auch so eine mail bekommen. Ich ärger mich darüber das ich es erst geglaubt habe und auch geantwortet habe. Witzig ist nur, das erst wenn man schriebt wie man den Scheck geliefert haben möchte die Lieferfirma feststellt das man in Deutschland lebt und angeblich noch eine Steuer zahlen muß.
    Hoffentlich werden solche Menschen verhaftet.

    I just got this in my junk e-mail folder this morning. I looked up the domain of the e-mail address and it doesn’t exist. This was my second hint after the junk e-mail folder that let me know this was completely bogus. It looks like this is a scam run out of China, hence the .cn e-mail reply-to address.

    These people should be locked up or at least punched in the face like Homer Simpson did with the guy who created that commercial with the snow-globe.

    Be on the lookout because this IS a phishing scam!!!

    pues acabo de corroborar , que fui una victima mas de esta estafa.tambien de” the google Uk.giveaway lotto team” enviado por este mismo tipo Mr. Graham Benfield como agente procesador del”payment release department” en complicidad con Mr. Campbell Wright/head of operation del banco Yorkshire Bank, Uk. pidiendome que pagara la cantidad de 600 gbp por medio de western union. cuando escuche eso, pense, porque se hace on line? con el mismo banco, en transferencia a mi banco y se proratea de mi premio de 500,000 gbp? el pago deberia ser enviado a : Mrs Lisa Serrano con direccion 10 king street, leigh WN7415, UK. todo me empezo a parecer muy sospechoso porque un envio al banco no se hace a nombre de una persona civil sino a nombre de la empresa y el representante. en fin, la cosa es que hasta recibi 3 veces llamadas telefonicas de este Mr. Campbell, para saber si ya habia recibido la el formato, despues para saber si recibi la forma de pago y al final para saber cuando depositaba. le dije que no tenia tal cantidad por lo que no me era posible cobrar mi premio y entonces me hizo otra oferta, me dijo que le mandara la mitad de lo acordado por el mismo medio. lo cual me parecio mas sospechoso, pues La Banca, no es una institucion que te condone requisitos. asi que comenze mi busqueda de tal empresa y tal departamento del banco, por la web. a lo que solo encontre un mapa y ninguna informacion abierta. asi que comenze mi busqueda como: the google give away lotto team, y encontre froud watchers, donde me advirtieron que ninguna loteria te pide que envies dinero. y no puedes ganar nada si no juegas con un numero. ahora estoy haciendo esta denuncia y segure con la denuncia policial en mi comunidad asi como otras denuncias por medio de la web, y cerrando mi cuenta bancaria.. pues estos tipos si no me robaron dinero, si lo han hecho con mi identidad. asi que mucho ojo! y que mi ejemplo te sirva de ayuda Cuidate mucho y no caigas en estafas! adjunto pagina web para denunciarlos y o pedir ayuda

    These people are STUPID! Don’t they know that people will actually contact GOOGLE before they participate in something as silly as this. They can’t even spell words correctly, and their syntax and grammar leaves a lot to be desired. But the highest thing on the STUPID list for them is they’re offering money to people WHO DIDN’T EVEN ENTER A CONTEST! Is there something that Google can do about it, like report them to the comparable Canadian organization as the United States SEC or FTC? Here’s the letter I got from them.

    I got one, but I sent a copy of my passport and emailed the (bogus?) Yorkshire bank before I decided, much more sensibly, to check Google lotto for myself only to discover that of course, I have been had. My contact was Mr Grahams Benfield, so I know it was false. I had a bad feeling about it all the time so I don’t know why I didn’t do anything sensible before that.

    Please be warned. They have my passport information now but no banking details thank goodness. We should always remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

    The same email was received by me . but this time, Mr. Francis Henson directed me to contact Yorkshire bank for remittance of prize checque to my bank account.

    MR. CAMPBELL WRIGHT,
    Head of Operation/Online Department,
    Yorkshire Bank Plc.United Kingdom.

    This Mr. Campbell Wright himself is sending emails about how can I remit my funds. He is requiring me to open an online banking account in his bank. But when I told him that I don’t want to, then, he sent me a disclaimer form to fill.

    I am just thinking that why a head of bank be sending emails to me about my prize if this is a fraud?

  51. miss Claire Kingman says:

    All of these cases are exactly the same as mine back in January(same no’s,names+info) and I was very angry when I found out it was a scam,I rang Google to tell them everything and the women I spoke to asked me to send all the emails I had received to her to help Google get these people(scum).

    I sent all the info to Google including telephone numbers and told Google we had rang one of the numbers so the number was still being used and that Google had no idea that Francis Henson was also using Googles head office address.

    When sending everything to Google I also sent a covering letter explaining everything,to this day today I have never got an email back saying ‘Thank You’ for the info or any acknowledgment of receiving my email,I would off thought I would’ve at least got acknowledgment as I was helping them.

    After all this time I would’ve thought the scum would’ve been stopped so it makes me feel sad to see that people are still getting the same scam emails as myself only last month.All I can say to these scammers is what goes around comes around’

But I didn’t give them my drivers licenes or passport or anything else. I put in the head of the email that this is all I am sending and I hope this isn’t a scam. But now I know it is after seeing that many of others got almost the same email. Mine had a google heading w/the correct colors. I looked up the ticket # and serial # and they are all the same.

    1. I’m surprised at google for not chasing the scam up.
    2. I’m surprised at googlemail for not marking it as spam

    I’m also considering sending a “politely” worded e-mail to this Mr Henson telling him where he can place his £500,000 scam pounds.

    Oh and just for the record this is where it says the mail came from:

    alon_school@bezeqint.net

    NOT info@googlelotto.com
