I am going to the authorities about this plus the bank has a copy of all the information, calls I made to them, etc. What a fool. How can we get ahold of these people and make them pay for all that they have done to us.

FOR ALL THE PEE PEE HEADS THAT COME ONTO THIS SITE ASKING IF THIS LOTTERY IS A SCAM, WHY DON'T YOU JUST READ SOME OF THE COMMENTS BEFORE ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS. THESE COMMENTS GO BACK TO 2005. HELLO, IT IS A SCAM. YOU ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS FALLEN FOR THE SCAM. YOU ARE BEING SCAMMED ALSO. ALSO FOR THE 1 GUY THAT CLAIMED HE GOT A $80,000 CHECK FROM THE LOTTERY AND CASHED IT, WELL BY NOW HE IS PROBABLY IN HIDING FROM THE FEDS OR HE IS NOW THE GIRLFRIEND OF A BIG FELLA NAME BUBBA IN THE FEDERAL PENITENARY. TO THE PEOPLE THAT GOT SCAMMED, MAY GOD SEE YOU THROUGH THIS, THIS IS AN AWFUL THING TO DO TO INNOCENT PEOPLE. THE SAD THING ABOUT US AMERICANS, IS THAT WE ARE TOO TRUSTING AND QUICK TO THINK THAT ALL PEOPLE ARE SINCERE. THOSE SCAMMERS CHOOSE AMERICANS TO SCAM BECAUSE WE ARE SO TRUSTING AND WE DON'T LIKE TO THINK THAT PEOPLE WOULD BE SO CRUEL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOMEONE LIKE THIS. WE ARE TOO TRUSTING. GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Anybody in Illinois watch out for the British Random Lotto letters going around. They include checks that are suppose to cover international fees and they will bounce and then they end up with your money. If any body gets a letter tear them up after you contact the attorney general and police!!!!! Make sure you tell any one you can about the scam.

I received a letter after these people calling and calling(thanks to caller id i never spoke to them)that said I had won the North-American Sweepstakes Lottery.Name of the Co is Amity Financial Group Inc. They sent a official looking check.They want you to send them the taxes owed by Moneygram or Western Union.Someone may have heard of this scam, this company is on the a fraud site I investigated, also the north American Lottery warns you about them.DJ
