Euro-Millions.com Lottery Scam - Letters arriving again!

by Tim Saul 18 Jan 2010

Beware of a letter falling through your letterbox from Euro-Millions.com

This is a repeat of the Lottery scam that was circulating last year and is a thinly disguised attempt to extract personal details and probably banking details. The scammers use a a plausible London postcode which turns out to be an address for a mail forwarding service.

The scammers even have a web site which looks very convincing.

They will probably ask for cash up front as a"fee" for processing your claim and then you'll never see any cash prize or your payment again.

See this link http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/lottery_scams_%20OverseasLotteryAgents.php for more information and put the letters through the shredder!
