I’ve had a lot of questions asking about the British Lottery International email scam which so many folks are receiving. It seems that with the Katrina scams starting to wane, the British Lottery International scam is picking up steam again. The questions always run along the lines of this one:
“I just received an email from “British Lottery International” advising a lottery number had been assigned to my email address and I had won a large amount of money. I was given a web site and person name to contact to start the process of collecting the money. I am assuming this is a scam but would like to verify.
Can you help?”
Yes, I can help…

I think Zenith Financial Management Group should be sued for all the heartache and stress they caused for all of us gullable Americans. What they have done is cruel and unethical and they should pay for their crimes. They have promised money to all the people they have sent the fraudulent letters too they should be responsible to come through with every dime of it. Especially to all the people who are being brought up on criminal charges and the people having to pay back the bank thousands of dollars. Royal British Lotto….LOL….And canadians wonder why he can’t stand them!

i wish there was a way to make them pay what they promise, maybe that will stop them from giving so many people hopes that they really won. all the e-mails i received sounded so true that i almost sent the money to get over one million dollars. i am trying to start a program for troubled teens and that sure would help.

I was scammed by believing I had won millions of dollars. Well almost, then I checked into it and found this was a big lie…scam…and an insult to alot of us people who are in need. This is what I wrote to them before I decided not to give them any more info. Just wanted to share it in hopes others will not take these YOU HAVE WON things seriously.
To Managing Director Mrs. Roseline Thomas, and/or Mr. David Foster of AOB Finance
I am writing to you in response to a letter I received, supposedly from The National British Lottery of news that I have won a lottery in the amount of $3,815,950.00
I am very hesitant to do this for I fear that this news is just some kind of a scam of some sort. I don’t understand what anyone would get out of doing such a dispicable thing to tell someone, who by the way is in very much need of a blessing as this, if it were not true. But then I suppose there are some people out there who could do such a thing. How cruel that would be to give such hopes to one who is so desperate for good happenings such as this sounds. Besides the disapointment of the trickery of getting ones hopes up after getting one of these messages of wrong doing is the fear of getting ourselves in some kind of scam that could financially hurt us more than the already bad financial situation we are already experiencing.
These fears keep us from responding quickly. Maybe I shouldn’t be replying at all. But
when one is in dire need one acts on these quips. I really would like to speak to someone in person about this situation, but again I’m sure this would take money in which I don’t have to do so. Therefore I am unable to make a phone call to investigate this claim. and so I am emailing to see if I can find out anything more that would either make me more comfortable to continue seeking info or maybe uncomfortable enough to just leave it alone..Please bare with me as I explain myself and my financial situation. I am a 66 yr. old widow of 16 years. since 1991. I have lost everything including my husband. My home, ( have lived with my daughter, my son and now my sister for the past 16 years) my financial security,(have had no income except a disability pymnt), and my health, ( have been on doctor’s care for an emotional disability and other physical problems). How anyone can con people such as I and sleep nights is beyond me.
If this is not a scam to con me or others as I, then I trully am sorry for writing these words.
For there are good things happening in this world today and many good people who are very caring and giving also.
If I were to really win any amount of money from any source it would be a miracle and I would definitely share with those who are in need. I know you could care less for all these thoughts but I just have to give them anyway.
So in turn, I am going to give you the numerical info that was requested in this letter. I will be very leary of giving out any other info( as social sec.#, bank account #t, or other personal data, until I feel secure enough to do so and have this checked out by others first.
I will do as letter asks as for giving this info to public( except my immediate family members) for now until I hear back from you and /or your staff of your promotion program.
Numerical Info

I am beginning my claim, by attempting to contact my claim agent Mr. David Foster of AOB Finance by email, for processing and remittance of my prize money to my designated account. Please tell me what further actions I am to take now. Please reply back to me and let me know if this winning the National Lottery is for real or not.
Sincerely,
P.S. If this is for real….God Bless You
Janice Lester If not……..you should be ashamed
The reply I got was only wanting more personal info. No comments at all.

hello,
