Complaint Review: Santalucia Security Company S.A.

Santalucia Security company S.A. is a rip-off. i recieved a letter from them addressed from Spain stating i have won USD $615,810 lottery and they wanted me to call their agent to claim the money within 12 days.

The agent wanted me to send my bank details for a bank transfer. He requested a copy of my passport or driver license to confirm my identity. They have 2 options on the Lottery processing form.

I said i didn't want a wire transfer and opted for a Certified Cheque option. The agent said that i should get a call from the bank where my money is being held and the bank agent calls me and tells me the details and tells me to give US$ 1350 to the agent of santalucia security co. for the insurace and shipping and handling charges and as soon as they recieve it they will send me the check. The name of the bank where i will be issued a Check from was Bank of Santandero

It sounded that these guys were from Africa-either Nigeria or Ghana or the Carribeans.
