Estrella Seguros Used wife's name and our address to send a spurious award notice requesting bank details Madrid Spain

This compnay got hold of my wide's name and our address to inform us on a badly photocopied letter sheet and claim form that we had won 815, 810 euros with the La Primitiva/Euro Millions Lottery Promotions Programme held Jan 21st 2008. We had of course never entered such a lottery. They also gave reference numbers and ticket numbers as well as a four number winning number with a 5th star number. They said we had been selected by a computer ballot from a list of 25,000 names and had won in the 3rd category. We immediately identified this as a scam. I was angry that they had got hold of our address and my wife's name so I wish to make it public to warn others about this incase they feel tempted to follow it up and start to lose money by paying spurious taxes and fees in the hope that they will get their money.
