PLEASE Be Careful People - This is what's happened with me just the last few Weeks!! I too, just this past week, received the notice that I am one of those 'random' lucky recipients of the (1)"UK NATIONAL LOTTERY" 'win'($1,600,000 pds) - the terrible thing is that they cite the name "National Lottery UK" which is a real name when you click on the 'line' in the email! & also the numbers they have mentioned are right there on the front page - it looks so real & then you realize they are asking for 'payout' fees(which would never be done in a real lottery win! But also, in the past 5 weeks, I have received the (2)"you have the SAME LAST NAME as my client that died in the London bombing, etc",($4.5 million) then I received from the (3)"head of operations of BARCLAYS BANK"...that I was to be awarded from the will of ?? ($6.5 million), so I should be able to move out of Senior housing soon - All of these RIPOFFS have been from LONDON,UK however -- AND Lo & Behold just today, (4)a hard working Texas gal in London is tired of coming here every 2 to 4 weeks & getting her 'large amount of money' and she'll pay me 20% off the top if they can just send the 'cashier's check' to me & I can deposit it in my bank, 'blatty, blatty, bla'' (AND she got my name from the 'American Chamber of Commerce' list of trustworthy people!! FOUR SCEMES/SCAMS IN 5 WEEKS FOLKS - WATCH OUT, OUT THERE!!!!!THANK GOD FOR YOU PEOPLE THAT KEEP US FROM GETTING RIPPED OFF!!!!!!

I too just recieved the wonderful news that I won the UK lottery. Wow I'm soooo excited and now that I never entered, never been to the UK I am so amazed that I was randomly selected from 300 million americans to recieve 3 million dollars. Yeah ok I can wake up now. Thanks to all of you who report these things here I am not a statistic. As soon as I received the email I checked here to see if it was a scam. My wallet and pride thank you for this website and all it's members Carol

Everyone should be aware that this scam has nothing to do with the real OCS. We are (in the U.S) OCS America, Inc., and in the U.K. we are Overseas Courier Service (London) Ltd. and OCS Worldwide. We are a shipping company and distributor, in business for nearly 50 years, and are in no way involved with any lottery agencies or anything of the kind. We have become aware of this illegal use of our trademark, and have approached relevant authorities about the problem. We are constantly being contacted by internet users who want to confirm the veracity of these lotteries, and we are assuring everyone that this is total fraud. The names given over these emails are fictitious, and have never been actual employees of our company. The telephone numbers and domains mentioned in these emails are obviously bogus. We applaud the efforts of all of who would expose this fraud. We just want to make it clear that OCS is not the perpetrator, but rather a victim.

I want to thank the person for posting there ripoff regarding the UK National Lottery. I too, just received an email stating that I won and checked them out here and am glad that there is a place like this site to check out all the places that aren't listed with the BBB. I actually emailed them back and wanted to know if they could just take the money I needed to pay for my "winnings" out of that. I'm sure I wont get a response but at least I didnt lose. So thank you.
