I have been sent email from supernalotto Italia advising me that I have won Euro 1,500,000. Is this for real?

Question

They suggest I contact their courier at Global Courier Services at Churchill Gradens SW!V 3DW but I found it is a Flat 17 .A Peter Butler is their contact and I am supposed to contact him to find out about the cost of sending the winning cheque to me. Is this genuine or a scam ? Furthermore, their mail informed me that the lotto was organised by the sultan of brunei, italia PM, Fiat, Tamoil etc etc..

Answer 1

I would say this is definately for real.

Just open your wallet and send them everything they ask for, then you can get everything you deserve.

Good luck

Answer 2

It sounds like a scam to me.  Did you buy a Euro Lottery?

Answer 3

They will charge you for getting the cheque to you and you will say goodbye to your money and the "winnings"

It is a scam and they make a little money out of a lot of gullible people which adds up to a lot of money. The cheque they ask you to send will also have your bank account details on it and you will be wide open to other frauds.

Answer 4

Did you enter it? You dont get anything for nothing. SCAM

Answer 5

its a scam

Answer 6

Its fake

Answer 7

h**l no!  Don't go to any links or anything on this email.  A genuine email from the lottery would not tell you how much you've won if you played online, it would merely say log into your account.  Only go to the official site, none of these spoof sites people try to get your bank details from and extort you.

Answer 8

no i get them all the time. its a scam and all they will ask for is your name, address and bank details so that they can apparently "transfer your winnings" but its not true!!!

Answer 9

Scam.

Answer 10

Scam. See:

http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lo...

A good place to look is www.scam.com - there are multiple forums around each fraud type; lottery scams, Nigerian scams, etc.

Usual rules apply: if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Never provide any financial details.

Answer 18

This is a SCAM. Check out the below link for confirmation of various email scams hitting the internet and how to report them.

http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/in...

Unscrupulous thieves have sent you this email and they are trying to part you from your hard earned cash. They will often ask you to call a premium rate number and keep you holding on whilst you rack up a huge phone bill. They are then paid a large proportion of this phone bill. They may ask you to divulge personal information about yourself or ask for your bank or credit card details. Do not divulge any such information under any circumstances. It is surprising how many innocent victims have been duped by these types of emails. Just remember the thieves who send them are very clever and extremely convincing. I suggest you delete the email and send it into cyberspace, hopefully along with the thieving scumbags who send them.

Answer 19

I expect they want your bank details so they can deposit the money for you.

Yes it is a scam! If something sounds too good to be true then it probably is!

Answer 20

Hi,

no it is not real, it is a scam.

Remeber if it looks to good to be true, then it probabley is.

Answer 21

It's a scam pet! There is NO lottery in the world who are going to give out a jackpot without you buying a ticket first! You know this, so put your sensible head on and leave it alone. The next step is to get your bank details, oh, yeah, so they can pay your winnings in......ha bloody, ha! Get it? Next day, your account is empty, your mortgage payments go missing, your beer money goes to some scam artist in Nigeria.
