I recieved a letter telling me that i had won the euromilion lottery international programme, which was held on the 21st of February 2008.
The results were released on the 14th of April 2008, and the stated that my name was attached to ticket number G777240090079X with Serial number 7216-05.
I was therefore approved for a lump sum payout of 715,810.00 in cash, credited to file, with reference number CH-76841284672-6. This money was deposited with Bank of Espagna (bank of spain) and insured in my name.
The name entered in this programme were presented by Andalucia Vista S.A. I was told i had to pay them 10% of the money after collecting the money. I was told to begin the lottery claim by contacting the claiming agent Senor Carlos Haya, Foreign operation manager of Prudencia Security.
I was told to contact him on the telephone number 0034911014064, and to do this as soon as possible as the money could not be collected after the 24th May 2008.
With the euromillion lottery letter was another letter which i had to fax back to them, asking me for my telephone number and the address to confirm the name, address and telephone numbers and my bank details. This was supposed to be a payment processing form. I contacted mr Carlos Haya and i told him that i did not have any bank details, and his answer was to still send the payment processing form with the details and they would send me an endorsed cheque, and so i did.
After this he told me the bank of Spain would contact me to release the cheque. 2 days after i recieved a phone call from mister Huan Miguel, teling me he was calling me from the bank of Spain. The telephone number was 0034677788326. He told me that the cheque was insured with the Bank of Spain but that i had to pay an amout of money of 1,385. I told him i did not have that amount of money so i could only pay them after recieving the cheque. He told me to contact Mr carlos Haya, my agent once again. I called him and he told me to send them however much money i could afford to send them and i told him i could only put together 500 pounds to send to them. He told me to send that money and that they would put the rest, and that i could pay them once i recieved the cheque. All this happened on the 30th of April 2008 and i was told that if i sent the money that day i would recieve the cheque by friday 2nd of May 2008. I sent them the money and the reciever's name was Jack Saas.on friday 2nd of May i was expecting the cheque to come but Mr Huan Miguel from the Bank of Spain called me back and told me that the money was not enough so they could not send the cheque.
At this point i started to have some doubts and i asked them to send me my 500 back and to let go of the cheque.
Mr Carlos Haya told me that they would send the money back and after half an hour he sent me a message from the telephone number 003467193778 telling me that he had sent the 500 back to me, with number 6250066106. I went to Western union with this number to collect the money but there was nothing there. I called Mr Carlos Haya back to ask him why the money had not arrived and he told me that i had to wait one month to recieve the money back and that these were the rules of Prudencia Security Company. I told him that if i did not get the money back i would contact the police and they told me that i could even contact Scotland yard if i wanted to.
On the 5th of May i contacted the local police but i was told they could not do anything as the rip off company is in Spain.
