tell them you'll reimburse them for the 450USD once you get your 400000 USD

this is a scam don't send them anything


If yoi didn't buy a lottery ticket you can't have won anything. If it cost you money up front it is not a prize

They want your $450, don't send it. THINK if you never entered a lottery how can you win.

When I check my other email accounts, I must have won 20 or 30 lotteries a week, problem is I never win any that I buy tickets to, I have been solicited to be a go between where I get 20% of
Eighteen million US Dollars ($18,000,000) just send my information.

These are all well known SCAMS that seek your money or your identity

Nothing in this world is free. Except when you give up personal info to scammers!

You were scammed. You have probably given thenm enough info to create an identity, clean out your bank account and ruin your name just to mention a few possibilities.

Contact your bank, credit card companies and any other financial institution you have. Contact Social Security,and your state DOT office regarding your drivers liscense. Note your credit report and hope to hell you causght things in time.

How is it people still don't ask ....If I didn' t enter that lottery how did I win it?

Don't!!!!!! Its a scam, its been all over the news, dateline did an undercover report on them. Nigeria is known for the biggest scams of all time. Call the proper authorities to make sure they can't use your info given immediately!!

Do not send money to Nigeria it is one of the biggest scams around. You will get nothing for any investment you make and if it was a real lottery they wouldn't need 450 dollars anyway since they could take any needed fees from the lottery winnings.

This is a scam. Google search term "Scam Nigeria".

You are about to be ripped off!

If you gave them your banking information, and social security number, you are going to have your identity stolen.

Contact your bank, and Social Security ASAP. These people have been preying on gullible people for years.

Frankly, I don't know how you are going to prevent them from robbing you blind. And ruining your credit at the very least.

Good Luck.

Doc

The opening notice will say "Using the six digits of your phone, you won'" then that is a Scam. You know in UK Lottery or elswhere you need to have investment by betting. Is it not. Do not entertain that because next time you will be asked to deposit
a certain amount in their name, before you can get your winning. The best thing you can do is report that to the nearest police outpost to end this foolish things. Next time, do not entertain this kind of letters. Good day and bye.


The "Axeman" cometh
If you sent any personal info,you are in for the ride of your life, Now you MUST change passwords,email, bank accounts, and any and all the personal info you sent them, they prey on people DUMB enough to send them personal info and "the human greed factor" and you fell for it, are you that out of touch with whats going on with the SCAMS from Nigeria? its been on the news for the last 3 years! Glad I'm not you.Good Luck, your gonna need it!

It is ID theft now that they have all your info you will have a lot of problems .
Thousands of people get these daily if 1% falls for it that is millions of dollars they gain. and the victoms get stuck with thousands of dollars fighting this for many years.

Go to your bank ASAP and close the account that you gave them, get a police report of this and send letters to the three credit beroughs .any credit cards you have get them closed and under new numbers.


Zao
