Question UK Lottery Scams

I joined a freelotto club where they submit my entries into 9 different lotteries every day, you know, just hoping I could win a little bit. Every little bit helps right? Next thing I know, I am getting lottery and lotto fraud letters daily. Sometimes, 6 or 7 a day. My mistake was following through a little bit with one of them. They didn't ask for any information that was personal, so I thought I'd at least find out what they are about.

I received a call from a man and couldn't understand his heavy accent. I told him that I couldn't understand him, and he told me that he would send another email to me--I understood that. I started to do some checking. The scam letter of winning the UK National Lottery was printed on a bank letterhead, but was missing their phone and address--very suspicious. Again, searching online for answers. I found out that the phone number that they had given me was a cell phone that was routed to a UK number but that the call had originated in Nigeria. My intention was to let the bank know what they were up to, but I haven't followed through on that yet.

Anyway, every single letter I get about winning a lottery, is a scam. I feel sorry for the people that can't recognize this fraud. It's sad that bad intentions have to ruin a beautiful thing--a free link to the world. Now, the internet fraud is as common as the writing of a bad check these days. The bad ruin it for the good.

So, does anyone know how we report each scam and to who? Thanks and beware!

The name of this particular lottery winning is as follows: UK NATIONAL LOTTERY ONLINE PROMO PROGRAMME
