El Gordo Sweepstakes Lottery Company said I won money but wanted $1050.00 before they could transfer ripoff Madrid Spain
I got a letter from this company thru the mail that said I won six hundred thousand dollars. I called the number,spoke to Mr. Santos Lopez, who "confirmed" it and asked for info from bank and drivers license to be faxed and I did so. Mr. Lopez called the next day and said I needed to send $1050.00 to the security company that was holding my money before it could be transfered to my account. My daughter works at the bank so I opened an account with $25.00 in it for this purpose only, I did not send my real bank information where I do my usual business, thank God!
I went to western union and we called the fraud department right then and they said it was a scam. If you don't get certified mail or a personal visit, you haven't won anything. Being poor all my life, I hoped so much that this wasn't a scam, but I asked the Lord to help me make the right decision and if it wasn't right, please show me a sign. The next day, the call came for $1050.00.
Regardless of what anyone out there thinks, I trust my faith in God to help walk me thru this life and so far, he has never failed me. He's brought me back from cancer and a very abusive marraige and my trust and faith lies there. Mr. Lopez will be dealt with in good time, but until then, please anyone getting regular mail or email concerning things of this nature please be aware. I came very close to being taken because I wanted to believe it.
Please report Mr. Lopez and this company everytime you here about it. We all need to take a stand and do something to prevent them from robbing others. Please be advised!!!

Mr Lopez wanted me to send the money to Nancy Cruz, Madrid Sapin. Tha is the only address he gave, he said I didn't need anything else and that she worked for the National Treasurey Department. Once I said it was a fraud, he told me she just flew to Rome Italy and to send it there to her immediately by western union...I told him western union wouldnt send it and he became irate and told me I could send as much money anywhere I wanted to and they couldnt stop me. I said true, but I need an address and phone number for Nancy cruz...he said the same...nancy cruz, rome italy....everyone please be careful...
