You have won 1,50,000 GBP....claim you winning amount....real or scam ?

This has got to be a joke. Are you honestly telling us you believed an email telling you that you had won the lottery when you never even entered such a competition in the first place? If it's too good to be true, it usually is. Now they have your details, they will add you to their "Sucker List" (an actual term coined by Scam prevention organisations) and sell your info to other scammers. I hope you like receiving 50 letters a day telling you that "you've won, send us money and we will give you your winnings".

Do some searchs about it and you will discover that it is a scam very known and many people have been scam on them. Your friends are not jealous of you, they are realistic and more "intelligent" lol. Why do you believe this mail even if you have never join a sweeptake? Before believe in this type of thing, do some researchs about the name of this company! About the details you are talking about, it is very easy to lie to people and convain them to give your personal information, i think they want you to suscribe to program ans ask you for your personal credit carb or something like that? Also, payment proof are very easy to do so if you see reviews and proof of payment on their site, don't believe in them, mee too, i can create fake reviews and doing some fake payment proof of Photoshop. I am not jealous that you "win this big money", i just want to prevent of being scammed.

It is a scam. I never believed such a thing, they will just ask about your details and then in a few days you will get from your mail a letter about joining a lottery and you are enjoined to pay for it. A friend of mine received an e-mail and she even called the number in it. She was asked to pay for a certain amount through money transfer, she never called again after that.

it is obviously a scam.these jokes i ve seen a lot.i remember last September ive received a email which told me i won 50000? in a lottery campaign. actually,i ve never take part in that game.so god knows who give me that prize~ calm down~ man, it is a setup. once u get in ,it is too late to be apologized……

I have to come down hard on you in hopes that you get the message and do the right thing. Of course it is a scam. Your friends aren't jealous, they are just trying to keep you from getting taken. You would be a fool to respond in any way to this offer, especially since they are asking you for personal information...such as what? Your Social, your checking account number? And you say you have the batch no. and a few believable details? Are you kidding? Anyone with half a business brain can make that stuff up and make it sound believable. So what exactly are you basing your belief that this company is legit...on? If you intend to do this despite better advice, why don't you think smart and prove this company is what they say before you tell them anything. Find out: 1) do they have a legit address and business phone number? (if they have a PO BOX as their Corp. address and can only be reached by leaving message on machine or with call center...they are not legit) 2) check with the Better Business Bureau, your state's Consumer Affairs Dept. and States Attorney General offices to see if they are legit and to find out if any complaints have been lodged against them. 3) When they contact you, ask what professional groups they are members of (like their local Chamber of Commerce) then call that Chamber or other group and varify. Back to what they want you to do to collect this money...do they want to direct deposit it into your checking account so they need your acct. numbers? Tell them you don't want it direct deposited, you want it in a cashiers check made out to you and mailed to you. If they are sending you a check and you are to deposit it while immediately sending them a personal check for a certain amount they need to cover the expenses of this transaction (meanwhile their check is no good and you have just sent them a real check that they will cash and disappear)...tell them just to deduct that amount and send you the net amount in a cashiers check. They won't do it and you will discover what we have all been telling you. After you have been thru all of this, contact the Consumer Affairs and Attorney General offices again and report this phony business to them so others don't get scammed like you are about to.

that's definitely a scam. I have also received those kind of emails and i have never hesitated to delete them because first of all, i have never entered into any contests in other countries and i have never even entered into lotteries here in my country.

This is another form of scam, which is sent through text or mail. Beware and be cautious of whatever message you will receive especially online otherwise you will fall to their plot. Scammers are flooding in the net. You may just try to analyze how comes that you were able to win a huge amount of money without even the knowledge or participation of any game of chance. Thanks for sharing....

I get at least 4 or 5 emails like that a week at every email account I have (sometimes even at the one I use only for job-hunting, I have no idea how they got that address). A good tip-off to it being a fake, is when they are from another country, or there are multiple, obvious spelling/grammar errors. But really, unless you actually entered a contest, no one is going to contact you via email to tell you you won something. And never give any bank information, or any other info for that matter. If I had 10$ for every time I've "won" the U.K. lottery (I've never even been there), I'd be rich!

I often get emails like that, but I'm sure this is just fraud. I have never ignored the email. I would delete such emails. I really hate to emails like that, almost every day I get it, and finally I just delete. I never take a quiz with prizes, or the like. If I join a pay site, there must be a clear notice. So something like that do not have believed.

Hi makemoneyhere I get these lucky emails a lot All I have to go on is your word and what you write here, so my only advice is just learn from this

Big big scam never respond to these kind of mails and surprisingly they are now coming to mobile phones too, just report spam when you get one. good luck.

hi there... all of that are big time scams and they would at the end say we have to send some money as handling charge etc an that will be the last time we get to hear from them.., so it will be better we stayed away from all that

That's a SCAM! don't give your info to them. PERIOD.

i think the people have to be extra carefull about this emails because they are for sure scams or computer programs to still personal informations. If they send a phone number we can call then to check if this is true, but i think is a scam, because nobody gives some amout of money for nothing. Maybe is a comercial scam to link us to another site, and get some sells. Therefore don't forget to tell us if you get that win :) Good luck

Do not answer to that email. it is a scam. have you ever wondered how they got your email? no one in their right mind, even big companies gives out that much cash. It is a way to get your information. We are in the age of information technology where infos such as yours is a lead . this will be sold to online businessmen who needs leads. that is why most of us gets a lot of junk emails. or worse, knowing your whereabouts and who you are, you might get robbed.

NO NO NO Never give them your personal details, they are all scams and phishing emails. Remember the old saying that if something is too good to be true, then it usually is.

Please don't fall with such an email like that... I'm sure the sender is trying to pishing you... Usually, if you response or reply an email like that, they will asking for your credit card number and try to break the security number of the card... Be careful...

Normally this e-mail will not have to address. This will be a general mail to many people. I have received many e-mail that I have not given my particulars.Also, I have received e-mail indicating the I am selected as Senior Accounts Officer with handful of salary in GBP 13000/-in a reputed concern . Earlier to that, I gave my profile in some of the job seeking websites. Also received e-mail "Money in the bank without claim, I am the official of the Bank and I will assist to make the claim and we shall share amount. If willing contact me." Like that many information will come in the e-mail. Let us not be carried away by this. We got to be vigilant.

It's a scam...be careful and don't give out any of your personal information. How sure am I? 99.9999999% sure.

Hi, ..i think it's a scam. I always received an email about lottery, raffle draws, and beneficiary concern. But I just deleted it. Even in my cellphone, they kept on sending messages that I won these prizes like millions of money, gadgets..i dont mind them. First of all I did not join any promos or games. My cousin was victimized of this type of scam thru his cellphone. He did not listen to my dad and he just follow the instructions provided to him by the acting promo manager. He spent thousands just to get the prize but he did not receive anything. I'm not scaring you but I'm just sharing my own experience with this matter.
