Dear Friend,

Do accept my sincere apologies if my mail does not
meet your personal ethics. I will introduce myself
as David Mantu, a lawyer in the accounts
management section of the above firm here in the
United Kingdom.

This is the detail of what i want you to assist me
in doing, One of our accounts with holding balance of
22,000,000(Twenty Two Million Dollars) has been
dormant and has not been operated for the past six
(6) years. From my investigations and confirmations,
the owner of this account, a foreigner by name (Joe
Mach)died in July, 2000 see this

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm

And since then nobody has done anything as regards
the claiming of this money because he has no family
members who are aware of the existence of neither
the account nor the funds.

I have secretly discussed this matter with a senior
official of this company and we have agreed to find
a reliable foreign partner to deal with. We thus
propose to do business with you, standing in as the
next of kin of these funds from the deceased and funds
released to you after due processes have been
followed.

This transaction is totally free of risk and
troubles as the fund is legitimate and does not
originate from drug, money laundry, terrorism or any
other illegal act. On receipt of your response I will
furnish you with detailed clarification as it relates
to this mutual benefit transaction.

I look forward to hearing from you as soon as possible
if you are
interested and with your trust.And also furnish me
with the following informations

YOUR FULL NAMES.............

YOUR TEL/FAX NUMBERS........

YOUR NATIONALITY.............

YOUR OCCUPATION.............

As soon as i recieve the above informations i will
give you the information of Late Mr Joe Mach's Account
Details

I just received a letter from the british lottery saying i had won 85,500.00 dollars. Instead of checking this out i deposited the check for 2,998.40 dollars in my account. then i sent them the 2,825.50 by moneygram. of course now i know it was a scam. I will have to pay the bank back this amount. i can't understand how this cleared the bank. what i want to know has this been turned into the fbi. i will try and do something about it but please if you have gotten this letter don't be a fool like i have been.i have never played any lottery i should have known you don't get anything for nothing. if you have any idea what i should do please contact me at this email address.

I received in the mail today, a letter and a check from the Irish random drawing. Not sure what to make of it I tryed to call and then went to the computer to look it up. When I got a message I decided to check into the name on the check and called the company which is: PGR MEDIA, 170 Westminster Street, Providence Rhode Island, and when I questioned them about this, they have told me that it is a fraulant check that someone is sending out with their name on.
They have received numberous calls about it.


Has anyone contacted the police?

I have received 2 internet lottery winning notifications , one from PowerBall,Wheel E-games and the other from EuroMillions.I found a real site for Euro millions and it seems to fit all of the legal rules for the game but I could not find anything on the powerball wheel e-game that could tell me anything about wether it is a scam or not. Does anyone know anthing about either of these? Powerball is asking for
up to 1,000 pound up front that sounds like its a scam to me. The euromillions has sent me a non-resident release form to fill out?

My nephew recieved a letter telling him he had won the Switerland Lottery and a check for the taxes. He cashed the check, and later the bank told him the check was no good. He had to take out a loan to pay the bank back. He called Wells Fargo and they told him the check was good.
