Deutch Sol Agency is there a company in london that represents the national lottery named camelot?

Question

Iwas contacted by George White at Natwest Bank PLC.U.K. saying I won 891,934 Pounds in the national lottery drawing but I have to send 550 Pounds to open a bank account to get my winnings transferred to the U.S. is this on the up and up or a scam ?

Answer 1

SCAM

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news.

Answer 2

It is scam. Yahoo (insert any company name here, this answer works for all!) do not run an email lottery, if they did you could guarantee it would be advertised all over their home page. Check out these links and search answers to see how many people 'win' the exact same lottery every day

http://www.hoax-slayer.com/email-lottery...

Do not click on any links, the page you will be taken to will look authentic but is not

Do not send them a 'courier fee' or any other money

Do not hand over any bank details or passwords

Do report spam

Do delete

Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch. You cannot win a lottery if you haven ot bought a ticket. Anyone can set up an email account with Yahoo, they can use any combination of letters they choose. I could be '[e-mail]' or '[e-mail]' That doesn't mean that I am either of these and is fine as long as I don't try to use the address to mislead people. Don't be fooled by legitimate looking email addresses which end the same way as any other free account, don't be fooled by fictitious titles such as 'Dr' or 'Executive Director of Winner Claims'.



(I've answered this question so many times that I now keep this answer on my desktop and just copy and paste....that should give you a clue!)

Answer 3

Yes it's a scam alrighty.

Sorry!

Answer 4

Ah, I see there has been another mistake in the email department.

Don't send them the money, contact me and I will only charge £500 for exactly the same service.

You don't get out much, do you?

Answer 5

I was  contacted as well, I would not send them the money.  I am concerned that they ask for the valid id number as well.DEUTCH SOL AGENCY . A division of Overseassecuritiesbvorg.
