Could this be real? I won the lottery in a different country?
I just found out I won the lottery in a foreign country and all they need is my bank account number to get my funds to me. I emailed them this morning with all my info but haven't heard anything back yet. Is it normal for a transaction to take so long?

Just give it some more time. They'll come through. In the meantime, I would go to www.careerbuilder.com and type in "part time job" because you will need it

Is this a real question?
You didn't actually win the lottery, it was a scam.

be careful it sounds liek a scam, you should never give your account info out,...were you even entered in this lottery? you should block your accounts immediatly..and tell your wife


andrea
Oh yes. You can't be that stupid. If so, then I hope they drain your account. It is sad though that there are people who have actually fallen for these kinda scams

Huge scam, did you enter the lottery, there is no such thing as a internet lottery data base, so i would give them nada. Google lottery scams.

Please tell me your are joking. That is one of the new tricks of today. You can never win a lottery in another country. They are draining your bank account as you sit here asking this question.

Well did you play the lottery in another country? If not, then the chances are it's a scam. Sounds like a scam regardless. Why would they want your bank account number?

You're joking right?? You wasted five points on a question you knew the answer to?? Dude of course its fake. Did you even enter the lottery?? NO! And i doubt someone would do it for you. Man if you gave them your info, buddy you are screwed.

you have been scammed! did u play the lottery in another country? no? thought not, this is an easy way 2 get money out of people. cancel ur account NOW, u may find they have wiped ur account clean already. NEVER give ur details out unless u r 100% sure!


JM
no way you emailed them your info. you must be joking right! no lottery would need your bank account. and you didn't enter a lottery in a different country so how could you win it!

if this is for real, transfer the money out of that account and close it!

Congratulations! Soon you'll be hearing from all your long-lost relatives trying to get a piece of that pie. If I was you, I wouldn't tell anyone else. Just wait til your money comes in, then skip town. I'd even leave the wifey at home. You can now buy a new one.

Ummm... those are scams. They just want to get your personal information. How can you win a foreign lotto and (a) not live there and (b) never bought a ticket? You should alert your bank right away before they get a hold of your money and you are left with nothing.

Call your bank right away you have just been a victim of fraud. You may already be screwed. So sad that you fell for a scam that has been so well known for so long. Good luck getting your wife to stay with you now that you have made your loving house the poor house.

I really hope you didn't actually email these people your information. These types of things are typically scams. My best advice to you right now is to keep in close contact with your bank so that they can track any unauthorized transactions. In the meantime, don't give any of your personal information away unless there is some kind of label of trust. Good luck!


nathan_pal
You got the notification that you won the lottery, you did not ask about this in Y!A. You sent the Bank info to them(?) , you did not ask about this Y!A. You hav'nt heard back from them and you came to Y!A ??.

Nice try but not falling for your funny trick.

NO DON'T GIVE OUT ANY OF YOUR INFORMATION. DON'T YOU WATCH THE NEWS. BE VERY VERY VERY CAREFUL OF THIS TRICK! THEY LURE YOU IN BY ANNOUNCING YOU WON AND WHEN YOU GIVE THEM YOUR BANK ACCOUNT INFORMATION YOUR SCREWED. SOMETIMES THEY SAY "CASH THIS CHECK AND KEEP $500 FOR YOURSELF AND SEND US THE REST." BASICALLY YOU CASH THE CHECK, KEEP THE $500 AND SEND THEM THE REST (WHICH IS MORE THEN YOUR CUT) AND YOU GET IN TROUBLE WITH THE BANKS HERE IN THE U.S.
AND YOU GIVING THEM YOUR INFO IS STUPID STUPID STUPID...YOU GAVE THEM ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?…
CALL THE POLICE RIGHT AWAY...NO SERIOUSLY I'M NOT JOKING. CALL THE AUTHORITIES AND EXPLAIN EVERYTHING TO THEM GIVE THEM THE WEBSITE ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS AND IP ADDRESS IF YOU KNOW IT.

You need to contact your bank and tell them what you've done. This is SCAM, SCAM, SCAM big time. Don't ever give anyone your banking info, credit card info, social security numbers, etc unless you are soliciting info from them for credit card, loans, etc. Please, please , please contact someone and tell them what you've done....otherwise, you'll be wiped out in no time.

I hate to tell you, but I think you have been scammed!! Please tell me you DID NOT give your bank account # over the phone?? Have you been to that country? Did you enter a lottery? Why would they assume you are who you say your are? Didn't they require some sort of ID? I think your wife is going to be surprised all right... but it ain't gonna be a car


Seamonkey
man you are stupid NEVER give out your bank account number or your credit card number they are all scammers and crooks...if i was you i would get down to the bank as fast as i could and tell them to give you a new account.

p.s. i bet you got that through an email on yahoo didn't you. i bet your wife is going to kill you.


LS
Yes. They are trying to figure out other ways to steel money out of your account. If they send you a huge check and want you to deposit it and send them a certified check back you should definitely do it!!!!

If you want to speed up the process. You should just make a blank check out to "cash" and mail it to them. This should cut down your wait time tremendously.

Best of Luck and God Speed :)

inform your bank that you made a mistake with a hack
"lotto" and YOU not the bank need to keep an eye diligently on your account. if you see any questionable activity inform your bank immediately. You might need to close the account and reopen a different account. From here on out SPAM those emails.

That was not a very smart move. Have you ever heard of ID theft?

You can not just send all your info to someone just because you were told that you won the lottery.
Did you even participate? If not, someone is trying something dirty.
Its not too late, if you never participated it can't be true.

You should report to the police and your bank agent. Tell them what happened.
Good luck...and I hope this is a joke!!!

First of all I think you are a little bit on the crazy side for giving out your bank information to someone you dont even know.
Second of all did you even sign up for this apparent lottery drawing and if not you have a even bigger problem...
you know funds being taken out of your account,getting your personal information,possible fraud all kinds of things could happen...I think you should have been a little more careful with this you know investigate things before you jump.
