PRIZE WON FROM FREE LOTTO!!!
Recent scenario - When I went into an internet site about 10 days ago, a notification from free lotto appeared advising that I had won $2000 odd (can not remember the actual amount) and requested an address to send the money to. When I filled in my address Free Lotto confirmed that I was still registered with them and confirmed my password. According to the notification I was the lucky visitor to that site. I advised them of the address but have heard nothing more to date.
Old scenario - I was registered with them about two years ago and also apparently had won millions - also problem with the FAST system as others have mentioned. As I do not own a credit card I did not participate in the FAST system, but when I tried to claim the money, their automatic system merely took me to their FAST claim form where you need a credit card. Free is free!! I have never given my bank details to anyone over the internet. I personally did not get excited about the winnings as quite frankly I did not believe it, but felt there was no harm in giving out my address JUST IN CASE. Obviously when anyone hears they have won they still have that little bit of hope. I lost nothing, gained nothing but it is false advertising. It would be nice if someone could sort Free Lotto out or perhaps hear their side of the story.
