This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Received letter from the national lottery, p.o.box 1010, Liverpool. L70 INL. United Kingdom. Ref: XYL/[protected]/07. Batch: 60/00611/Sat.
Congratulating me on winning ticket number [protected] - serial nr. 7403/07. That I have been approved to claim 402,863 pound. I then had to contact agent: James Keegan. e-mail: [protected]@national-lotterycentral.com.He then referred me to - accounts controller- Teddy Martins. Tel nr:+[protected]. e-mail: [protected]@1bankofengland.com. Where upon I was given instructions to send 150 pound to Antonia Bisnouth, 873 Canada Square, London, E14 5HQ. I was then given a so called account with 1bankofengland. Now I still have to send 3,500 pound before the money can be transferred to my account. Is their any way you can be of assistance even just to get my 150 pound back. My cellphone nr: +27 [protected]. It would have been so wonderful to really have won this money, but now it seems like a scam.

Thanking you in advance.

Isn't funny, I received a lottery win notification too, but decided not to get too excited just in case it was a scam. Well sure enough, it is. Curiousity got the better of me, I want wanted to see how far it would go. As soon as they asked for money, I knew that was the 'crunch'.. Teddy Martins is the person named as the Accounts Controller with the same phone number. After doing a bit of a search, I came across this letter, and after checking out the Bank of England, there is no one on the staff by that name and title. 1Bank of England doesn't exist... I couldn't find anything. Other names mentioned were Dalton Delos, Events Manager and Mrs Christina James, Yahoo/Msn Lottery Games/Lottery Co-ordinator. I was silly enough to send all my details for reasons mentioned above. The only money I wasted was for a couple of phone calls to a 'Mr Delos' and a 'Teddy Martins' both whom I found very hard to understand with strong foreign middle eastern accents and very unprofessional. I had never hear of this kind of thing before but am glad I wasn't completely taken in by it. So 'BE WARNED' those of you who might read this and 'DON'T GET SUCKED IN'

24 October, 2008.

ATTN:

Regarding our phone conversations yesterday and today, I need to bring to your notice as per my discussion with the Bank Manager and other Bank Personnel:

1. That the Bank of England has refused to take responsibilities for expenses that will be incurred in the process of coming to the United Kingdom.

2. That the option of appointing a relative to sign the document here in London is not a valid option as we do not deal with third parties.

I understand your financial condition and I feel pity for you, hence, I want to notify you that I spoke with the Lawyer (Krystal Solicitors & Co. LLP) which our bank knows very well and is highly respected by the European Commission. I spoke to them and the lawyer said he can help but it will cost a small amount of money. He said it will cost 1500 GBP for him to sign the documents on your behalf.

Hence, you are left with just two options:

a). you have to come to the UK and sign the documents himself, on his own expense or
b). To contact Krystal Solicitors & Co. LLP and have him sign the documents on your behalf as the EC Lawyer

Those are the only available options for now.

Thank you for choosing our online banking. The safest Online Banking. You can call any of our numbers below for further inquiry.

Sincerely,
James Ferguson

hi my name is Roshell and i've received alot of the same emails claiming that i won money .What puzzled me was that i won money but never entered a contest, and i won money and i've to pay them in order for my money to be released . Well i played with them and guesss what the suckers went so far as to send me 1, 500 in travelllers checque with instructions to go to the bank and signed them infront of the bank tellers and they send me a address in africa where i should send the money and keep 10% for myself.I laughed my head off because this is how these suckers tried to get me to committed fraud.Luckily i turned them over to the police and all the emails . I was informed later by the police that after a couple of days the bank would've found out after giving me the money that the checques were no good and i would've been left holding the bill to pay back the bank their money. so be caredul ppl there are too many ways ppl can scam u.

Ous from The Gambia

Hi i am Ousman Mass i have been receiving similar e-mails, i never trust any of them, i only enjoy communicating with the people behind the scene just to be laughing while typing their responds.
Sending them money or any form of collaterals are never mention at the beginning untill they suspect that you are a portential victim. With me, when it comes to asking me for certain things like sending them money or to other sources i quit, they never hear from me again. I always suspect that there is something criminal. Who will give me money for free, especially when you talk of hundreds of thausands British Pounds.

My recent predators are claiming to be from The UK National Lottery Program, I am presently exchanging correspondence with them without them knowing that I am fully aware of the intricacies of the scammers.

They also told us that the only problem they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the Alhaji S A Oshuboye and the Central Bank office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Janet White from ARIZONA has already contacted them and also presented to them all the necessary documentations evidencing your claim purported to have been signed personally by you prior to the release of your contract fund valued at about $5, 500.000.00USD, but the Central Bank office did the wise thing by insisting on hearing from you personally before the go ahead on wiring your fund to the Bank information which was forwarded to them by the above named Lady so that was the main reason why they contacted us so as to assist them in making the investigations.

They further informed us that we should warn our dear citizens who must have been informed of the contract payment which was awarded to them from the Central Bank of Nigeria, to be very careful prior to this irregularities so that they don't fall victim to this ugly circumstance.
