I first heard about this scam from a friend who said he had won 1 million $$$ and something dollars by playing lotto on line . Being curious i decided to try it out , i registered and played the free games and heard nothing so forgot about it.
Exactly 1 week later my inbox was flooded with emails from the Divisions of Unpaid Funds(aparently part of the scam to make it sound more realistic) , Stating that i had also won 1 million and something dollars. I then followed the promts to claim my so called prize only to find that they wanted my Bank details credit card details and so forth . This sent alarm bells off in my mind and i decided to look into Freelotto.
Upon launching a search i found numerous reports of the same Scam flooding the internet. I imeadiatly contacted Freelotto, well attempted to have not heard a reply as to date, only to have them send me 150 emails a day forcing me to change Email accounts and blacklisting them.
I just mainly want to alert the Australian people to this as i now know of 1 000 plus people who have unfortunately have succumbed to this scam. There seems to be a total Lack of Scam warning systems in Australia and many people just simply do not even know about the latest scams. Is there a way to warn the masses before more people get stung?
The following is some parts of the many emails i recieved , for reference to cross check and identify this Scam .
example 1
