FreeLotto.com letter scam

Posted March 30th, 2007 by brandon

We recently recieved the following email regarding freelotto.com:

Travelling on channels of Internet, I have found out ad about a prize. " If you have visited this site that you have won also it absolutely free-of-charge or free" - say the ad. It was the site www.freelotto.com. At times I like to play lotteries and I do not test to this disgust. I was registered, and they have sent me the letter, that I have won the large sum. But, to receive this sum - they ask the number of my credit cards and to pay for game at a rate of 14$. It seems to me is not so fair in connection with declared earlier. Whether you know this organization? Whether really they will pay me a promised prize?

Sincerely yours,

Nadezhda,

I hate to be the one to inform you, but you will not receive the cash prize promised in the letter. This is a scam. FreeLotto.com is a legitimate lottery site run out of the UK and they have samples of the fraudulent letters being sent out under their name. A legitimate lottery will NEVER ask you to pay money or give out credit card information in order to receive your winnings.
