Complaint Review: Loteria Primitiva El Gordo Santa Lucia Security Company S.A.

A very similar format to all of the other letters about the El Gordo Prize from the Loteria Primitiva that I have read about on the web. Don't be fooled.

My letter also told me that I'd won a lump sum of 615,810.00 US dollars, and had the stipulation that 10 per cent would go to the Santa Lucia Security Company S.A.

It also included an extra bit that reminded me that a "little tax clearance fee is required" from every beneficiary...come on now, if you won the lottery do you really think youd be asked to pay taxes before you got the money. What a scam.

Batch numbers and reference numbers were different but there was a nice "timbre del estado" or stamp of the state on the bottom of the letter that added some authenticity. Beware!
