Pino Blanco rloteria primitiva ripoff says I won $615,810 but wants $1,250 to send the money Madrid spain
I was informed by mail that I had won $615,810 from Loteria Primitiva in a lottery I had not even entered. To claim the prize I faxed my name, address, and bank account and routing numbers.
As next of kin I sent them my daughter's name, phone, and address.
A Sr. Blanco contacted me by phone saying to claim the prize I must send him, by Western Union, $1,250. This raised my suspicion. Who ever won a lottery and then had to pay to receive the prize?
I checked this website and my suspicion was confirmed that this is a scam. They received no money from me, nor will they.

Watch your bank account very closely.

I have received E-Mails from other scams as well that want to wash "Unclaimed" money through your account and offer a percentage.
There was a company in California when these first started that gave them their Routing and Account Number.
A few weeks later the account was elecrtronically cleared out. Because these are foreign transactions, they are almost impossible to trace and the US can not prosecute in a lot of these cases.
Never give out this information, Since you already have I woild consider closing and reopening a new account

Don't be so quick to say that they will not receive any money from you!!
Unless you have already done so, although it is not indicated in your report that you have, you may want to notify your bank not to release any payments to this company. You said they have your name, address, and bank account information. BEWARE!
