Just like many others who was sent the same mail, I just feel that this letter is a complete SCAM! First of all it is so good to be true and second of all, when sending out a professional letter from an official lotto corporation, wouldn't your letter look more legitimate then something printed from home?
When reading any letter from any Corporate companies I've always been observant about the quality of paper and presentation of a professional letterhead. Due to the fact that I am a graphic designer and anyone with a knowledge of design would notice that the letter is designed in a poor state and the only thing legitimate would be the postage stamp from Spain.
- First of all the ink on the letter actually smudges when gently rub your thumb across the text. NOW we know it's not done on a laserjet printer but an inkjet. The quality of the ink is so budget. The graphics and coloured text on the letter was actually faded as if the ink had run out!
- The logo and letterhead of the company does not look appealing. It looks way too basic.
- The seals at the bottom right of the page with the reference number looks as if it's been scanned and then copy and pasted to the letter, really isn't very much convincing.
- The quality of the paper is lightweight, like a standard photocopier paper. Majority of professional businesses would use a paper that is slightly heavier and textured.
So people don't be fooled by this spam about winnning so many hundred thousands and giving away your true identity. There is too many fraudulents out there and majority of them are saying that they are a from an International Lotto Commission. It's a pity that the elderly are the main targets for these kind of spams.

I received a letter from the lotto commission with the same information about winning a large sum of money. it was too good to be true also and i decided to do a web search when they asked me to transfer £1950 into an account to cover the transfer fee. i asked about transferring half the amount and they quickly agreed which made me even more suspicious.
found this site and i'm glad i haven't gone throu with it.
has anyone discovered who these people are?

Thousands of small network spammers can be found throughout the wwworld. It's not a singular entity who is perpetrating this obscene act of indiscriminate identity & financial theft.

Dear All,
I am from pakistan, just like every one i too received a letter from international lotto commission which says i am awarded with euro 750000, woh thats a biggi, neways i was so happy, but all my happiness turned into sadness when i got to know that they are cheaters,, Oh yes they have no right to fool innocent people, some serious action should be taken against them by the Government of Spain.
Lets us all gather and fight for our right, & what is our Right?? Yes you all know very well, We should get atleast 50% of the amount.....  ,,,Wat do you say people..

Hi Everyone
Thanks for this page. Just recieved my letter 5 minutes ago. It's pretty crazy but so obviously a scam. I just want to know where they got my address from and if I've been dishing it out in places I shouldn't be. Does anyone know where they've been getting our addresses?
Cheers!

Hi am also from Melbourne Australia
I received a letter from Madrid Spain on the 12th June 2007.
It also states I have won an amount of $831,400.00euro's and due to the mix up of names I should not tell anyone until the funds are in my account.
However I called Silva Anderson on the telephone number given who confirmed I have won and I should fax the payment processing form. Later Icalled the other telephone number and spoke with Mrs Maria Gomez - Vice President who confirmed it was not a scam.
It all sounds wonderfull but I need to know why they need your drivers licence or Passport. Sounds fishy but very tempting to submit the fax with my details for that sum of money.
Please advise

International Lotto Commission!
I live in the UK & I recieved a letter from them today saying I had won 615,810.00 euros, don't tell anyone and oh by the way send us your bank account and passport details!
It's a scam, don't fall for it!

| i just had to register to write this. received my letter today i was so upset by it. i hope these people get whats coming for them. i called in to speak to the person "mr george walker" to find out exactly what company it is and speak to the person directly and boy his nigerian accent sure sold him out! and i then googled it and found this site and i am ever so happy i did not reply to that letter but im just really worried that these people have my name and address and now they probably have my tel number and if they do anything with it i am suing the police because i told them about this and it is their decision not to do anything about such low life people!!

| Just received an "award notification final notice" from International Lotto Commission. They ask me to contact a MR. EPHRAIM FINLEY - SUPPOSEDLY THE FOREIGN SERVICE MANAGER OF PACIFIC SECUROS S.A. ESPANA. From looking at this site I can assume that this is a scam as I hadn't entered any lottery of this kind. The promotions director is Jose Antonio. Anyone got any further information on this organisation?
