El Gordo Spanish Sweepstakes Lottery asked info ripoff Madrid Spain
I received a letter from this company in Spain that i won 490,000 euros.I live in St. Maarten N.A.
I filled out the form & faxed them the information. They requested my d.o.b, marital status, home address, info about my next of kin, my bank name & account number.
I gave them an empty account number & I called the agent whose name was Don Alex Reno Collins.
He told me that he received my faxed & that the bank in Spain will transfer the money by Thursday 13th October,2005.
I am typing this letter on the same date as the above mentioned, so I am still in the process of this scam.
He said he will call me in 20 minutes, but so far no call has been received.
I did in fact received a call from a so called international bank of Spain this morning saying that I must call Alex to tell him that in order for me to receive my money i must pay 4,900 euros.
I am just waiting for this so called agent to call me back & tell him instead of me sending money to him that he just simply take it out of my so called winnings. If someone can please help me because I am scared of identity theft because I gave him my info.
The police here can't do anything because they told me they never heard of such a case happening on this island.
So maybe I am the first on this island to get scammed by this company.

Do a search here for Loteria Primativa and see my post for that. If you think you won something without actually entering, then you really need to go have your head examined for brain trauma. If you haven't given them information yet, DO NOT DO THAT!!! You are only going to get ripped off....run like hell away from this. If you did give your info to them...better act now to protect yourself from identity theft. Just one question...are you living under a rock that you have not heard of these scams? And I thought only Americans were stupid enough to fall for these things...I guess not.
