I have received a letter like many others claiming I have won £490, 000.00 and in order to claim this amount I must sent a payment of £19.95 within 7 days to the address give n on the return envelope. Of course not having entered any contests this immediately set off alarm bells. I then looked to see if there were any contact details provided so I might query the matter directly. The lack of phone number, web address, or e-mail address further added to my certainty that this was a scam.

I then went online and quickly found many other complaints and warnings with regard to these letters. The sad thing is, not everyone knows to question these things, and if you send them what they are actually asking for you give them not only money, but possible account details and credit card numbers. Someone should really put a stop to these miserable people.

Please don't fall for this scam. If it looks too good to be true and you haven't entered anything then it is a scam!

This company is fake do not believe the just log in to internet and do a google on them, you will have an answer.

I have received their correspondence today 19/06/08, yes I am yet another SOLE RECIPIENT of £490, 000, if only it were true!! Fraudsters!! No morals, no ethics, just outright cheats. As the old saying goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I'm just annoyed with myself that I actually read it through a couple of times, sounds convincing to those unaware of these scams.

No... I'm the sole recipient of £490, 000.00! Sad to think that there will be many who will reply to this scam and the scammers will benefit and get away with it. I'm sending mine back unfilled and with some choice words on the back of the letter. Might not do much, but I will feel a bit better.

The people who send this garbage out should be locked away, many times during the day my e-mail is inundated with supposed winnings that will cost me more than I have in my account to have the supposed cheque delivered to my door. However today I received a letter in the mail telling me that I was entitled to claim the unclaimed amount for a one off payment of £19.95 these people a sub human morons who really believe people are stupid enough to hand over cheques or personal bank account details to some sub human idiot who claims to be a big company.

How do we stop these people and more should be being done to end their run of taking money from innocent people using the internet or otherwise.
