Do not believe this company because they are out there to steal and ransack peoples banking accounts. Please be careful.I am including the emails sent.
Due to stringent policies laid down by International Gaming Board regulations and the Games and lotto Payout Subcommittee, we are unable to process the transfer of your prize by deducting from your prize money or any other alternative. These policies have been put in place to check previously experienced cases of funds mishandling and/or misappropriation and we are obligated to act in line with them.

Furthermore,this charges cannot be deducted from your prize Funds also because,there is a hardcover insurance covering your prize Funds and as such no deductions of any kind can be made on your prize Funds.

Considering the fact that, we cannot process your prize Funds of 1,000,000 (One Million Euros) without the required fees, we will advise that you immediately arrange for the required telegrahic/swift bank transfer charges.

We will not be able to assist you otherwise.Therefore you are advised to act fast to save your winning.

You can call me for any information you need.

Emails Regarding Lotteries That You Never Registered For

AUTHOR: Stephen - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Monday, August 13, 2007

Anytime you receive an email telling you that you've won a Lottery that you never registered for (or don't remember registering for), it is an attempt to steal money from you that you will never get back.

The fact that they anticipate you telling them to subtract the monies necessary should be a RED FLAG that it is a SCAM.

No One who has ever gotten one of these 'so-called' Winner's Email, has ever gotten any money or anything else of value (except maybe a lesson in being overly greedy and not thinking wisely).

You should never send any personal information to anyone that you don't know. Giving some unknown person your bank account and routing numbers is a perfect way to empty out your bank account from another country.

Look at the Lotteries that are held locally, do they deduct amounts from the total given (other than taxes that are required) or do they give you the entire amount?

Do the local lotteries require you to give them a bank account and routing number?

Do the local lotteries require you to pay up-front fees for processing your winnings?

Why should a 'foreign' lottery be any different than a local lottery?

Be smart, erase those emails and don't fall for scams that come dressed in dreams of riches beyond belief.
