whats is the british random lotto scam
2006-10-07 23:29:01 -
I have recieved a LETTER AND CHECK FOR $2,993.35 U.S.
It is written from DICHTOMATIK North America. When I looked them up on the Internet, I got information including the address on the check; but they do "rubber fittings and o-rings..." Not giving away money! The company logo and address is also on the check matching the web site.
So this appears to be a scam! Even though the check seems legit even with the water mark on the back!
I tried calling "Monica Edwards" of "Citation Financial Management Group at 1-204-952-1845, yet to be told my phone has certain restrictions, probably for an international call (to Canada?)
I do not want to get my hopes up, but feel this is a scam...

i recieved a letter today from internationl lottery, inc. i am not sure what to think of it. my first reaction of course, being someone who could really use $50,000, was to call and see what the deal is/was...i know it couldn't possibly be real. i thought i might write alittle of what the letter says.
'my name is ..., the prize director of the international lottery, inc. from the claims department. i was updating our network and discovered that you were selected as a prizewinner and you have not claimed your winnings for the sum of $50,000.'
it goes on to say:
'you must satisfy a clearance fee...the clearance fee is a percentage of your winnings that is deducted from your winnings. once your clearance fee is paid in full; your check willbe released from our office in the form of a certified check.'
i am sure this is a hoax, i wish it was real, like so many others, we could all use some extra money, right?

TO TARA. YOU WON NOTHING. THE CHECK IS COUNTERFEIT. IT IS ALSO ILLEGAL FOR U.S. CITIZENS TO PARTICIPATE IN FOREIGN LOTTERIES. CHECK OUT WWW.FRAUDWATCHERS.ORG AND IT WILL TELL YOU ABOUT THESE SCAMS. DON'T FALL FOR IT OR YOU WILL REGRET IT. DO NOT CASH OR DEPOSIT THAT BOGUS CHECK. YOU WILL HAVE TO REPAY THE BANK FOR THAT CHECK AND CAN BE CHARGED WITH FELONY BANK FRAUD CHARGES AND WIND UP JAILED. DON'T TRY TO CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT IT IS REAL BECAUSE IT IS A SCAM.

Does anybody know what can happen if you send a copy of your identity card or passport to one of these lotteries?
Are they able to steal your identity by using this?
And what shall I do if I would recive a check?
Shall I just throw it away or take it to the police?
