Lottery Scam: Lottomania French Lottery Group
- 11-23-2009
- Categorized in: Lottery Scam
Someone asked about this Lottomania French Lottery Group:
Would like to know if the message below and the attached documents are one of the scams that is going around?
Apparently, this is another scam. So what does a lottery scammer do?
1) They will ask you to pay for something (e.g. "clearance fee", "delivery", etc) to collect the "prize money". Isn't this stupid. Real lottery does not require you to pay a single cent. If they do, ask them to deduct from the winnings.
That is why we say scammers are morons.
But you don't have to become one by believing in this email rubbish.
2) Once you are on the "hook", they will continue to RIP YOU DRY. It might not be a single payment. As long as you continue to pursue the "Prize", they will think that you are still believing in the scam.
You will become their Cash Cow, and they will slowly squeeze your bank DRY.

But when I pushed the reply button to reply to the e-mail it had this address: charles_vanzandt@yahoo.co.jp
