Complaint Review: El Gordo Loteria Primitiva

My report is very similar to all the others that I have read... ref no: EGS/2551256007/03, Batch no: 15/0018/IPD. My letter stated that my name attached to ticket number 025-11464992-750 with serial numbers 2113-05 drew the lucky numbers 13-15-22-37-39-45 and oh boy oh boy I won the lottery in the third category... 615,810.00 us dollars. Total cash prize shared with 31 international winners.

Now all the other reports I read had very similar numbers except this one mentions contacting Mr Alex Ramone, Foreign operation manager for EURO GLOBAL SECURITY S.L. On Tel +34-655-013-806, Fax +34-657-506-890. The other reports mentioned a Santa Lucia Security I believe. The date on this letter is 25th Augusto. 2004 (nice touch with the spanish form of August).

Draw date was 10th of June 04. And I have until Sept 30th or all this money will be returned to the famous (more like infamous) MINISTRIO DE ECONOMIA HACIENDA as unclaimed... they must have millions of all our unclaimed prize money. The letter is signed at the bottom by an Alejandro Pedro who is the managing director... who are these guys trying to fool?

How do they get our mailing addresses?? Because I do a lot of online banking I would be very interested to know how many of these reports were filed by people who also do online banking... hackers get our info from this??? Not too sure, but after reading all the other reports... SCAM DELUXE! Hope this helps others... didn't even bother to phone.
