Complaint Review: Sun-Atlantic Promotions

I received an e-mail. When I looked at the headline it said "RE: CONGRATULATIONS AWARD NOTIFICATION (FINAL NOTICE)". When I opened it, stated I had won $40,000. I wondered what company it was from. It said "Sun-Atlantic Promotions Inc.

At first I thought it was actually legitament because it had an e-mail address to contact them, along with phone and fax numbers. Thank goodness I didn't try to call because I read a report at this web site: www.data-wales.co.uk, which stated the calls would probably be premium rated.

I received a second e-mail which stated to send them my full name, address, phone number, etc. I didn't.

Things to remember if you receive an email similar to this:

They change their contact web addresses all the time.
They also use different aliases and company names, and could state they are contacting you from any country.
How can you when win you didn't even buy a ticket.

They will tell you to keep the information contained in their e-mails confidential. In other words they don't want you to contact the police or tell companies like ripoffreport.

I am glad there is a place on the internet like this, otherwise I might be in a lot trouble. I hope I can save at least one person from falling for this scam.
