British Lottery Scam

One of my husbands' co-workers received this email. They sent him a check and he fell for it. When I heard about it I tried to warn him, but he wouldn't listen. Needless to say, his bank account has $4,000 less in it. I'd have to say he's the most optimistic person I've ever met; either that or the most stupid. He still didn't believe it was a scam until I showed him that I received the exact same email. Confirmation numbers and all.

It would be nice to win. But we can't ALL be that lucky.

Great Site -- Thanks a lot!

There no name as John Phillips But their Emaily Waston In candan...

not bad them sending me this i come from england so if i accept this it will be fun them trying to get money out of me
as i do not live too far from this address i will check this out and report back

Goodluck from me and members of staff of the BRITISH NATIONAL ONLINE LOTTERY
Sincerely,
Sir John Barckley
Zonal Coordinator.

I was scammed by the united British Lotto. I cashed The cheek but did not sed any money to the company. I was wondering if the bank could charge me with any thing as far as passing a bad cheek or something to that effect. Or if i could get into any type of crinimal activity by passing this cheek? Please help i am already out $3,ooo

I am concerned because my uncle received an email from I think it was the British Sweepstake Lottery International Program notifying him that he had won. Since the first notification, he has been answering back several emails. The last one he received has attached a winning certificate and details of the person he must contact in the bank for the payment. They had never asked for money or fees. Is this too good to be true?

I just received a letter informing me that I have won the United British Lottery & this is my notification of winnings. It states that I have won a total of $25,000 which will be mine if I just deposit the check which they have presented me with for $3,900 for the tax & process fee. The most interesting paragraph states:
Special Notice! This Award program has come to the public notice and in oreder to avoid unauthorized activity and individuals contacting you please ensure that this winning is kept absolutely confidential.
I have to say that I am a reader of the fine print, but the scarry thing about this is that there is none & the check looks so real, with a watermark on the back and all. What set me off is that it says that I won the British lottery drawn in London, but the check is written from an Ohio address by a Michigan bank and the letter was postmarked in Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All beware of things that appear too easy!!!!

i so sorry for but its all scam Cindy

Got the e-mail last night. Didn't give my personal info and instead asked how I had won and if they could confirm it, received a second e-mail with address and phone numbers, but again, no answer on how I had won and again, they wanted me to give my address and phone number, etc.
Sent a las e-mail, stating "payment method" and asking one more time how I had won and to confirm, only to receive another e-mail giving me my "cheque number" and asking me for almost 2000 dollars for insurance.

Oh! I won 3.500.000 (Three million five hundred US Dollars) (This is how it was written. Doesn't seem suspicious that such a prize be awarded by people that don't even know how to write?).

I myself got a letter and check attached for the amount of 2,975.00. The check had a watermark on the back of it, from colgate palmolive company with a reputable bank in delaware. i was amazed and thought i had won. I came upon this web site and read through it. So glad I did. I will not cash this check but will turn it over to N. C. Attorney General office. So dont be fooled by something to good to be true.
The ltter was not postmarked and was received by me on May 26,2005. It was from Global union Sweepstakes.

I wish these scammers could be caught and I am going to do my best to help this happen.

"National Lottery wishes to inform you the results of the E-mail address ballot lottery international program by Great Britian held on Sat 20th Aug. 2005 for NON UK CITIZENS.Your email account has been picked as a winner of 1.5 Million Pounds."

It also gives an agent name Mr. Buckley George and his telephone numbers +447024084487 and +447024084516 plus a fax number +44-870-135-7404. They asked for your information like scanned international passport and so on. The email was from VICE PRESIDENT Mrs. Julie Van Hans.

The thing thats worrying me right now is . . . that I have given all the information and then checked the internet for verification. If any one can let me know what needs to be done, I would really appreciate it.

I am so upset this should go in the tv in the news so everyone know and the radio so everyone hear. because i am waiting for the money but the sad part is my accout is neg. i am neg of 3,998.00 right now. and i am really upset.

I CAN'T REACH THE F***. I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WILL CALL ME FRIDAY FROM STANLEY GRODAN FROM 5PM TO 8PM AND THAT THEY WILL MAKE APPIOTMENT TO MEET ME TODAY MONDAY. WELL, I CALL THE F*** INDIAN GUY HE DELETE HIS VOICE MAIL BUT HE WON'T ANWSER HIS PHONE CALL EVEN THAT TOO A LADY WHOM IS A INDIAN TOO SPEAK LIKE SHE A F*** KNOW ALL AND I AM REALLY UPSET RIGHT NOW I AM GOING TO THE POLICE TO LET THEM KNOW TO CONTECT EMAILY WATSON IN CANADA ALSO THAT I AM SO STUPINESS I FOOL TO LEAD TO THIS. I TRY TO CALL IS NUMBER ALL DAY 780-695-1341 HIS NAME IS JOHN PHILLIP BUT I KNOW THAT IS NOT HIS REAL NAME. IF YOU KNOW THE FBI CONTECT THIS B**** CAUSE I WANT MY MONEY BACK OF THE AMOUNT OF $3,850 AND THE TOTAL COAT AT WESTERN UNION AT THE AMOUNT OF $4,033.99.

Well, John Phillips call me back when Emaily Watson did revecied the money and start to yell at me and i yell back. I am not happy i don't know what to do should i call the police or what should i go.

add me to the list of the scammed…..I recieved a letter the other day similiar to all of the above mentioned letters about winning the United British Lotto. My check was in the amount of $3,850.00for tax & clearance fee’s for me to send to a lady name Emily Watson in Canada. Total winnings of $95,000 minus of $4,750.00 the “Sponser’s Fee’s) !!! Right now my bank is neg right now and also the person whom send this to me his name is JOHN PHILLIPS. I am really mad that my husband and i got fool from this.

I RECEIVED THE CHECK, THE LETTER, I CASHED THE CHECK-- FEELING OH SO STUPID! I'M AT A LOST. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

I recived the same winning notice this needs to be stopped as soon as possiable,I am going to the law enforcement on monday morning.,

Beware: There is no pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, and if you think it is then let me sell you some air property in Florida. United British Lotto is a scam. you'll not receive $95000.00 nor will you get the $2850.00 for the check you deposit in your account to cover tax and clearance fees unless you already have that amount in your account to be suckered. Don't be had, Think

I recieved a check for 2,995.95 and the British Lotto letter. 3 months ago I almost fell for the same sort of thing through an email lotto scam out of Africa. They called me several times and never asked for anything. Then once they got "thier" lawyer involved and began asking for numbers I let them know that my lawyer and I were on our way to Africa. They hung up and nver called again. I wanted so bad to believe this check was real but as soon as I read 'PLEASE ENSURE THAT THIS WINNING IS KEPT ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL" then I knew something was wrong. So I went looking for a site and found this one.
To bad I can't cash this check and put them out somehow...........

Too many people complianting about fake chaek, while these company keep sending out their fake one to punke'n everyone. are you really in the bunsiness or broke, you can't event do it that way because you are punk'n your selfe.

On May 1,2006 I to received a check for almost 3000.00 dollars. I called my bank and talked to the manager. She asked me to bring the check to her. I took the check to her and it was a normal looking check from the U.S. Bank in MN. She called the bank to verify funds which were there more than enough. She was just about ready to cash the check when she received a phone call from a U.S. Bank in our city. They ask me to bring them the check. I took the check to them and it was conterfit. The US Bank manager called the number on the letter and got all the information needed to proceed with legal action. The police now have letter, check and information. I also found out on that day that there are several people who really cash the check without looking further into it and now owe what was promised to them in the $100,000. range.

I rec'd snail mail UNITED BRITISH LOTTO CERTIFICATE OF AWARD too! The check is "drawn" from Bill Heard Chevrolet in Florida, so I called them. They had rec'd several calls and say the checks are fake, although, banks have been cashing them because they have the watermark and everything that looks legit. The letter i rec'd states i won $95K US and the ck is for 2998.85. I am to send them back 2850.00 for taxes. Yeah, right! It also states: SPECIAL NOTICE! Make sure this winning is kept absolutely confidential. Yeah, right! OK, the dream was good for a few hrs on various ways to spend $90,000 but then i came back to reality. The comptroller at the Chevrolet dealership gave me the name and phone number of a Secret Service Agent, who is supposedly on this scam.

Hi everyone! I got some emails to/ snail mails. They got my id number, passport number, but thats it, now i am here. I am not sending them anymore! Anyway, i was just playing their game to see what happens next. I already "won" a million euro last year with "the holland lottery", watch out, they scam too! If your english is good, you may see, that all "lotto winning certifications" have typos or spelling errors! :) I suggest they all go back to school/university and follow a decent job. Like me, i am a teacher in Thailand and i am happy with what i got. Being happy is being content with ones self and nature.... Scammers should burn in hell! Like the "Thai people" say: Do harm, and buddha (or god) will do harm to you!

Have a nice, normal day :) Willem from Thailand.

Scammers behind barrrs! Peace!

everybody is tempted by the money, I was thinking who in the world will give you a prize without entering ever in the past. I just recieved the check yesterday, I called the no met answering machine but seems like the financial management really exists, I do not plan to deposit the check at all which is from university of central florida(3998.75 $) with a water mark on the check, till I find out more, this is really the good web site for all of us who momentarily tempted by the sight of the check no matters what sort of life we are from

WHO EVER PUT THIS WEB SITE ON I THANK YOU BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE LOST ALL OF THE MONEY I DID HAVE IN THE BANK AND I HAVE ALREADY HAVE IDENTITY DEALTH I CALL IT DEALTH BECAUSE YOU DIE AFTER THE HAVE TAAKEN ALL YOUR MONEY. SO I PRAISE WHO EVER HAS THIS WEB SITE THANK YOU ALMOST GOT ME AGAIN
