Another Scam?

[Jordyboy9]

I have just received a letter in the post 10 minutes ago informing me that i have won£725,000,00 tax free in the euromillions fifa world cup super lottery and have been given a telephone number in london to phone,the thing is it looks so genuine,am i allowed to put the telephone number on here to warn others opinions on this please,the letter also states this information must be kept away from the public to avoid unwarrented abuse of the program

Most definitely a Scam to get your Bank Account details so that the 'make believe' money can be passed to your account.

If you give the London telephone number in this thread, it could lead to an ABer ringing it to see what happens. Not a good idea.

However you could tell us the supposed organisation from which the communication has come.

winning three quarters of a billion pounds made me think it might be a bit iffy

If any AB was that daft after the warning of the thread, then I would have thought they had no one to blame but themselves. I accept that we all have a moral duty to protect idiots from themselves, but if they can work out how to surf here, and read ... ?

Common Sense tells me if you didn't enter it,how come I have won?

Anyway, you are all too late, I got there first, claimed the money, and am presently booking my ticket to the Bahamas for Xmas.

[Old_Geezer]

Well I won because someone put the wrong e-mail address on the ticket they effectively inadvertently bought me, obviously.
