El Gordo Loteria Primitiva, Semana Santa ripoff scam letter received regarding lottery winnings in Spain Madrid Nationwide

I received a letter from El Gordo Loteria Primitiva stating that I had won the equivalent of 515,810.00 Euros after the Golden Coastal World Search had put my name in a draw on December 22, 2003.

They made reference to the "Semana Santa" in Spain, that my ticket number was #91,464 and that I was the 6th winning number in the final draw.

Of course, they wanted me to respond with my personal information and that having made me suspicious, I checked the net and found that this was indeed a SCAM!!

Too bad for me...my winnings in Canadian dollars would have been the equivalent of $805,979.25. Now I rip up this letter but wanted all to beware.
