I also received this letter with the same basic detail that i have won $95,000. i also called the number and it was a foreign sounding woman. I am currently in the United States though not a US resident. I dont even know how they found out my address here as, i havent been here very long and and its pretty scary to think that anyone can find access to your personal details online.

I received a letter today from the united bristish lotto with a check and it state to call an agent who will give me more details on getting the prize of 95000. is this for real?
2006-04-29 02:14:23 -
Yep, got the same letter from United British Lotto. At first I thought who did this check come from and then I started reading the so called award letter and then I knew it was too good to be true. So I called the phone company to see if there was such a Company and then here I am on the internet with everyone else. Yep won $95,000.00 and a check enclosed of $2998.85 and instruced to call a Brenda Rogers of Apex Financial Management Group to get Authorization of the check. Glad I listened to my inner voice telling me it was too good to be true. I hope others don't fall for the trap. Too bad, we could really use it with a family of 5, pay a whole much of bills and well not think of any bills for a while. Take Care

After getting the check and calling for more info I went to the bank and they called as other are saying, and the money is there, BUT mine was drawn on Northwest Airlines (which I do fly on) at US Bank in Minnesota. Mail fraud is against the law and this is very plain that this is mail fraud.

I also received a letter from United British Lotto stating I had won $95,000.00 and a check for $3,998.75. I called the phone #780-695-1341 and spoke with John Phillips, a foreign sounding gentlemen, he told me to deposit the check and after 3-5 days when the check clears to go to western union and wire $3850.00 for tax and clearance fees to Mary Williams 228 Victoria Avenue Suite 29, Montreal QC H4V2Z3. I would get $148.75 for my trouble. As soon as I wire the money he said I was to call him and tell him it had been sent and at that time they would release to me $90,250.00, $4750.00 (5% sponsor's commission). The check is drawn on the University of Central Florida, Sun Trust Bank. The letter also stated that I was one of (19) international winners. I was also told to keep this confidential. He also told me that I should get a financial advisor to find some tax shelters or I would pay 48% in taxes. He he kept congratulating me on winning. Sure sounded good. I am glad I checked this site.

I just received the letter about the lotto what is the real deal with it
2006-04-28 18:40:15 -
The scam letter came today, of course I was excited, but when I called the number I could tell something was wrong. I called my level headed brother who told me it is a scam. I tried to call the news programs and no one seemed interested. When these things happen people need to be warned. I still have my rememberance of big money up on my wall saying SCAM if you read this please tell a friend, and lets put a stop to this.

If you recieve a letter from United British Lotto please do not respond. I recieved a letter in the mail today with an official looking check for $3200 to deposit in my checking account to cover taxes and fees. I then called called the bank that it is supposedly written from to find out it was a fraudulant check. If you recieve this letter all you have to do is call the bank on it read them the numbers and they will let you know if it is real or not.

What happens if you cash it, or deposit it into your account
2006-04-28 16:39:28 -
I got a letter and also a check that looks real.I called the number and was told that there was no more room for new messages.I then decided to go online and see what others were saying What an eye opener for me.
There will be no check cashing for me and I sure could use some money.
2006-04-28 16:15:23 -
So, this is a scam?

Two days ago I received a letter from Euro International Lotto saying that I had won $95,000. They also enclosed a check in the amount of $1,990. This check was written out of a trust account with Springboard Non-Profit Consumer Credit Management. Everyone is saying that the funds are in the account and yes....of course they are because these companies do have money, however, these checks that are being submitted are not from the company. These people are not directly scaming us, but they are using us to scam these companies. It is awful. Please everyone be an investigator when it comes to things like this. I thought just like everyone else but I am a little bit more worried and cautious because I have three small children in which I take care of alone. I never give personal information out to anyone for any reason. Never deposit a check directly into your own account because they can get your information that way too. At first I felt comfortable with this letter/check because they didn't ask for anything from me personally but again.....THEY ARE NOT SCAMING US DIRECTLY...THEY ARE SCAMING OTHER COMPANIES!! Keep yourself clear of all of this dirt that is going on.

I ALSO GOT A LETTER FROM UNITED BRITISH LOTTO,WE TOOK A COPY OF THE CHECK AND LETTER,DEPOSITED IN THE BANK, CALLED THEM BACK LIKE THEY INFORM YOU TO,AND ALSO TAPED THE CONVERSATION,I ASKED IF IT WAS GARRENTED THAT I WON, AND THAT IF IT WAS A SCAM,THEY SAID OH NO ITS NOT A SCAM! BUT THE POINT WAS FOR ME TO GET THE VOICE ON TAPE, AND ON THE LINE LONG ENOUGH TO TRACE, SO THEY WILL BE PROSICUTED, HAVE FUN WHILE YOU CAN

I received the same letter 3 days ago. I did deposit the check into my account, because I looked up the phone number for Suntrust bank in Tampa, called it to see if the account was good adn if the funds were there. The monies was there. then i see on the News today that a lady in my area got dooped and said it was a scam. I am taking the letter to the bank tomorrow to let them know what is going on before they hold me accountable. I also called Polygard's number that was on the check and it said "thank you for calling, goodbye". The leter stated for me to contact my agent Brenda Rogers, but everytime i called she was never in. i spoke with a woman named Savannah, who told me to deposit the check let it sit for 3-5 days then wired the monies ($2850.00) either by Western Union or Money Gram to Lisa Edwards at 1309 Prompt Blvd. #217A, Montreal, QC Canada H3B-4A4. When I called to speak with the lady i heard children in the background playing, i started thinking something was strange. She told me that I received a check from Polygard to help finance my tax and clearance fees in exchange to do a commercial with the rest of the 18 winners 3 months from now. Savannah told me that the commercial would be to show what we did with the money after we got our winnings. The United British Lotto is being sponsered by Polygard to publicize the British lotto, so others will know about it. I called several times after that, the line went to a message center. then later i got an answer, i asked for Brenda rogers again, she wasn't there. It was Savannah again. I told her i was having trouble getting through, she stated that they have been very busy due to there tax season. She sound really honest, but now i know it was the devil in disguise. I am pissed, thank God he showed me brfore anything went further. IT IS A SCAM.
