Complaint Review: El-gordo Internacional Lotto Comision S.a

I received a letter informing that I was entered dependently by "GRANVIA SOL MARKETING S.L" and won "LOTERIA DE SEMANA SANTA" OF FAMOUS SPANISH INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY PROGRAMME FOR THE YEAR 2005, held on 14th march, 2005. Attached were registration no.and winning ticket no., along with reference & serial no. as part of the letterhead. The letter stated that I won EU 400,000:00 from a total cash prize of EU 500,000,000:00 in cash credited to a file no. which they have contracted and paid a security company for their services in transferring the funds and act as my agent.

"OCEANIC SOL AGENCY, S.L" The prize fund had been insured under insurance bond policy on monthly extended premium on my ticket and file nos. due to failed efforts to communicate with me on the winning date and for security transfer to me WHICH MUST BE PAID BY ME AFTER COMFIRMING WITH MY PERSONAL PASSPORT IDENTITY OR NATIONAL IDENTITY CARD AS THE TRUE BENEFICIARY BEFORE MY WINNING STAKE TRANSFERED TO ME. Due to mixed up of nos. and names of participants, they need confidentiality of such informations till the prize money remitted to me. The deadline date is 8th June, 2005. or marked unclaimed and remitted back to acc. of "SPANISH MINISTERIO DE ECONOMIA Y HACIENDA".

I'm required to provide all my personal data including my banking informations and sign a PROCESSING RELEASE ORDER FORM to be faxed at fax no. recorded. I was quite excited while making plans with the money I won but it was too good a deal to be true thus decided to check out the lottery namesake to know more of such a deal and came across your website. I gave my thanks to GOD for finding out early enough without getting scammed. I'm writing so others will not be ripped-off of their hard earn money to these unscrupulous conmen.
