Free lotto winner???

Question

my officemate was emailed that he won 2,000,000 pounds in the free lotto. he told me he joined the free lotto a few months ago. but i was doubtful. i know that there are many scams out there. i advised him not to give any personal information especially credit card and account numbers if ever they asked. he agreed. he was doubtful also of course.

then he told me to compose a letter to the person who emailed him that he won, if how can we be sure if what they emailed was true. and how to claim it. we thought they will never reply because it was just a scam. but today, they emailed back, sending a claim form that my officemate would fill up. now he's here beside me filling up the form

i already checked the net for free lotto scams and i found some on the net. but they didn't say it's still a scam when they reply.

i don't know what to tell my office mate. i just advise him not to get his hopes up.

is this true???

Answer 1

Scam, scam, scam.

Answer 2

no its a proven scam

Answer 3

This happened to me, what you should do is print the form, take it to the bank.. Tell them the whole story, they will give there own details, theres a 20 dollar deposit..

If its a scam, you lose your 20 bulks, if its for real, you get the money.

Answer 4

Thousands upon thousands have received the same notification....it is a SCAM, they are only looking for personal info. No one is going to give away millions for nothing. Unless you bought a legal lottery ticket, don`t think for one minute you`re going to become rich out of the goodness of a company`s heart with a free lotto claim.

Answer 5

No One Will Give Money Like That For Free

He Just Wanna Make You Jealous Or Something .

Answer 6

There is no such thing as a free lottery.

Lotteries make money by selling tickets.  No free lottery could afford to give away £2m (which is about $4m or so) on a regular basis.  Where would this money come from?  Advertising?  How many web sites out there can raise millions of dollars in advertising revenue?

Sorry, but he won no money.  I guarantee it.  Any information he sends them will be sold.
