Luckyday Lotto Scam
« on: February 10, 2005, 12:29:49 AM »

I get lotto emails everyday sometimes 3 or 4 a day. I post most of them as I get them. Still I have people who call me or email me who want to argue. So I have started email mailing the ones that have a name I can trace or a link on it. All so far say that you have to buy a ticket to enter. Everyone I have search their site so far say you have to be a citizen of that country. For the people of the U.S. it is a fedral crime to play lotto out of the USA. You can not use the phone service (including the internet) or the postal service to play lotto outside the US. With that here is a lotto email I set to one that had a link to it and here is what they had to say. First is their answer and following is the email I received.

Dear e-mailer,
De Lotto warns against a large Lottery scam. In an e-mail, which is
written in bad English, the addressee is told that he/she has won a
large amount of money in a lottery. When the 'lottery' is contacted, it
turns out that the prize can only be collected if a payment is made of
thousands of dollars/euros for 'handling fees'. Obviously the prize is
never paid out.
The organization behind the fraud operates under different names, often
derived from well known lotteries. For example: Lucky Day Lottery, De
Lotto Netherlands, Interlotto, Oy Keikkaus Switzerland, El Gordo de la
Primitiva and Global Trust Lottery.
The police and the Ministry of Justice have been informed about the
fraud. Nevertheless, it is hard to stop the malpractices. The criminals
give false addresses, and cannot be traced via the stated telephone
numbers, e-mail addresses and P.O. Boxes. Neither do they have permanent
addresses and moreover, they change their identity regularly.
If you should receive such an e-mail, do not respond in any way, don not
provide these people with any personal identity information and do not
pay any money!

Best regards,
Customer Service Lucky Day.
