Sounds scam
Quote:
Welcome to 419Legal Without checkinging the email you received, it is difficult to say something but..... Please consider the following educational information in general, First of all #You can not win without first buying a lottery ticket. Then # not notify winners by email. # not randomly select email addresses to award prizes to. # not use free email accounts (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc) to get in touch with you. # not tell you to call a mobile phone number. # not tell you to keep your winnings secret. # never ask a winner to pay any fees to receive a prize! So any "courier service", "lawyer", "fiduciary agent" or "bank" that a fake "lottery" may have introduced you to should be redflagged as SCAM!

U.K. e-lottery online
@billybilt , thank you for your post and welcome.
It is hard to stop these scammers, there are many hundreds of thousands, operating from many different countries, some with corrupt officials! One of the ways to hurt them is publicity and eduction! This is why sites like 419legal are important, as they provide an opportunity to educate the public about these crooks and low life's' Thereby saving many potential victims the heartache of being scammed! Another method it to join sites like the one shown below in my link, so that we can take the fight to the scammers in an effective and safe manner! training can be provided if you are interested. Active participation in a site like this can seriously damage the scammers and actually help some of the victims! thanks for caring!

Dear Scammerslammer
Thank you very much for your post after mine. Comparing with your comment, my expression is blunt enough and I learnt a lot and have to learn more from you. However I often see you refer to Anti-Fraud International, why is that? It seems to me that in an aspect you come here for recruiting members for Anti-Fraud International and it looks unfaithful in 419Legal. Could you please explain the reason for referring? I am looking forward to hearing from you here. Very best regards Awareriskinc

An answer for Awareriskinc
@Awareriskinc. yes It seems we both posted at almost the same time so did not see each others posts until ours were posted!
To answer your question, I have spoken to the owner and cleared the issue of referring to other sites with him, so there is nothing underhand about it at all! We are allowed to post links after having posted 50 posts as per the rules! My comments as below in quotes, would NOT I think be taken as being unfaithful to 419legal, but the opposite! and actively promoting this site! Quote:
A far as I am aware, the main thrust of 419legal is to inform and educate the public and members about scammers and scams and I am doing my best to do this as are you! You will have noticed that I have also recommended or linked to other sites as well! such as AA419,and Joeweins site! Also if you check back, you will see that I have helped victims DIRECT from 419legal and some of them have thanked me ON 419legal as well. As the role of 419legal is not, as far as I can ascertain, to train members in things like scambaiting, or working with victims etc, then it makes sense to link to sites that can help them do these things in an effective and safe way! If you check back, you will see that some other members have asked for this to be done on the forum, by either setting up some members on here that have the capabilities to assist members in this regard, or to advice them as to which sites they can get this information from! So this is also a request from other members on 419legal! As you may know some victims of scams are quite rightly angry and hurt by being scammed out of their money and have a desire to do something about it! Unless they can find sites that can help them do this safely, they could have a tendency to try and go it alone. this COULD involve them in some type of 'baiting' the scammers by themselves, when the scammers have their personal details! WE DO NOT RECOMMEND this!! so we try and educate them to do things safely! This is why I recommend AFI and other sites to them! IF as you suggest, that I am only here to recruit, then why would I spend so much time helping victims ON 419legal? In My personal opinion, after spending many years on almost all the anti-scam sites, AFI is the best one to help victims and it has, along with ScamBaiting at it's finest - Scam Baiting for Fun and Justice theScamBaiter.com(also a good site) the best arrest rate of the whole anti-scam community by far! So it is logical to link to them for new members who need further help in these area's! It is also the ONLY site that can do this in many other languages as well, so can relate to members in their own language most of the time! A real asset for people whose first language is not English. I hope that this has explained things to you and you may even consider a more active role yourself on some of the other sites as well as on 419legal! Scammerslammer.
