Complaint Review: FreeLotto

FreeLotto provided my registration information to debt collection agencies Ripoff Internet

Less than a week after registering with FreeLotto I began getting flooded with threatening and abusive debt collection letters from 3 different collection agencies.

At the time I was unemployed and living with a friend and had nothing in my name at that address, I had not given out my address for ANYTHING other than FreeLotto.

Nobody had that address for me except FreeLotto, and immediately after registering with them the letters began heavily, sometimes as many as 5 per week, sometimes with the exact same letter twice on the same day.

I called the collection agencies listed to inform them that my student loan had been expunged due to my disability. They got extremely nasty with me telling me I had to mail them a check for $6500 or they would call the police and have me arrested. Apparently they used caller ID on me as I started getting calls demanding payment.

I spent the next three months dealing with this harrasment and finally was able to convince them that the debts were indeed expunged.

FreeLotto is a totally deceptive business luring people with the chance of winning money or prizes, when all they are really after is your personal contact information to sell to collection agencies.
