It's a total scam. You can check out the FBI website, they'll tell you more about it.

If it sounds too good to be true then it is. Ignore it.

This is DEFINITELY a scam.
If you've never entered a lottery, it is a scam.
Just the fact that they asked you to pay fees seems VERY sketchy.

Don't do it! They just want your account information, phone number, addresses, etc. DON'T DO IT! i get like, 100 of those emails a week. Mostly, they want to smuggle money into your country from their country and vice versa. BUT, it's too late for you.

anyone who asks you for money or any personal information like checking account number or DL number is a scam.

here's what my dad told me and I'll share it with you....believe me it's useful especially in a case like this....................................... NOTHING IN THIS HELL OF A WORLD IS FREE!


i can't believe you paid 6000 dolars didn't your parents ever teach you about "BAD PEOPLE"? your money is now officially out of your pockets and into theirs! good luck ur gonna need it. I'm 11 years old and know better than that!!!!

I hope you kissed that $6,000.00 good-bye, cause it is gone, baby gone!

In other words, you've been royally screwed to the tune of $6,000.00 and if you don't immediately change your bank account numbers, you will loose everything else in your account, if you haven't already.

Most of these scams originate in Nigeria, but if you sent money to a British Bank, I suggest you contact Scotland Yard, or the London Metropolitan Police ASAP. Not a chance of you recovering any money, but maybe the police can catch some of the people involved.

Next time you are informed you've won a lottery, think about whether you've bought a lottery ticket or not.

Man, you got fleeced. Kiss that 6000 good-effing-bye.
If you did not buy a lottery ticket, you did not win the lottery.

Your out $6,000 and the scammers are trying to extract an additional $25,000 from you.

Call your local authorities and report the crime ASAP, I don't think it's going to help because these scammers are usually out of Nigeria, but maybe the authorites can give the police report to your bank who may cover you under fraud protection. It's a long shot, but you never know.

Anytime you win something, you shouldn't have to pay out, that should have been your red flag.

If you haven't applied or signed up for anything, it is more than 99% likely that it is a scam.

most probably a scam, hun. think about it. if it were real, they'd be talking to you personally because it's so much money. They'd probably give you a call or meet up with you some place.

Your situation is a bit different than mine was. I recieved an email from the "South African International Bank" informing me that I recieved a grand lotto or something too. I didnt reply to them, based off of scepticism. I honestly fear that the money you paid might be lost, but keep trying. It honestly sounds like a scam, did you enter in any drawings???

I mean, why you get a free lotto win if you never paid for an entry???

That sounds like a good scam to me.

Im sorry but you might find better luck "Google-ing" your question. Copy and paste some of the letter they mailed you into the search bar for google and see what you come up with. I gauruntee that if more people out there are asking the same questions or have posted similar results- ITS A SCAM.

And for that, you have my sympathies.
6,000 is a wealth of money these days. =(
