Complaint Review: HUGO ANTONIO OF LA PRIMITIVE EUROPEA

Today via the post I have received notification of a lottery win. If only this were true that would be great, but I recognise that it is a scam. It is a scam because I have not bought a lottery ticket for this European lottery in Madrid Spain.

The wording of this lottery is also odd which leads me to think it is a scam, batch number this that and serial number the other. In England the lottery is very straight forward unlike this scam that came through the post.

In addition to this the notification page speaks of a foreign operations manager called Raul Fernandez of PINACLE TRUST SECURITY COMPANY S.A. TEL NUMBER 0934 691 876 637 FAX NUMBER 0034 911 015 471 as being entitled to 10% of your supposed win as a commission. So I am very supicious indeed as commissions seem to be an ongoing cost.

Nobody in there right mind would send personal details off like those asked on a peice of paper asking for your sex date of birth occupation and bank account details.Furthermore, if you had genuinely won a lottery all you would need to do is produce your winning ticket that you had purchased and to ring the organisers up to make your claim. All claims are recorded and you would subsequently receive a cheque. So your bank account details would always stay private. Wnnings in Britain are free of gaming tax so you would not be paying commission either on a genuine win.

These two concerns are therefore fraudulent and I have made this report so that anyone reading this knows that they should not respond in any way to the senders.

You have not won the lottery, what they are doing is looking for the means to rob you blind, don't fall for it.
