Wink Lottery Scams

Hello everyone. My user name is tumshie (don't ask!). Like Mercenary yesterday, I am new to this. I only found out about this website because I was investigating lottery scams. I have had several emails advising that I have won various amounts of money. Naturally curious, I have been in touch with these people to find out the "supposed" amounts of my winnings. I have given out basic name, age details, etc but no copies of official docs - ie driver's licence, birth certificate, bank account, social insurance number etc. At the moment I hope I have them on the hop. I've sent emails to them asking why there are discrepancies in their websites, why their grammar and spelling is so bad, why they want me to arrange for Western Union money transfers to individual people rather than the company itself, why their phone/fax numbers don't match with those of legitimate companies.

Is there a list somewhere on here where I can post the names of these people/companies so that others are aware? So far, I've been contacted by UK Express Courier Leed (ukexpresscourierleed.com) (fake - real company is UK Express Couriers Leeds ukexpress.net); Acorn Express Logistics (acornxpress-uk.com) (fake - real company is Acorn Express Logistics Ltd acornexpress-uk.com). I've also been contacted by someone claiming to be Littleton Denise Chambers (I'm guessing name of purported legal firm in London, England).

Has anyone else here had any contact from these outfits? I will get together all the other pertinent info as to who made the original contact etc.

Cool

Dear tumshie

welcome to this forum.

You will find posting instructions in FAQ and post each scam mail in proper letter archives either as "new thread" if there is not any other post about this lottery or as reply to similar thread.

Please read some articles in main page of this forum about dangers from Nigerian scams and never contact them.
