irish lotto?
2006-07-12 18:02:33 -
First, I'd like to thank Ellen for doing all the ground work because when I called authorities I could get no answers! I just cut and pasted all the info you left.
I made all the calls and found out that the chances of recovering any money are slim but at least they have all the info to, hopefully, catch these theives!
PLEASE READ IMPORTANT INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THERE ARE TWO PLACES YOU NEED TO CALL AND REPORT THIS SCAM:
1. FIRST CALL: THE CANADIAN PHONEBUSTERS toll free at 1-888-495-8501 the more people that call the easier it is to catch these crooks! In June alone they caught 590 people who are now facing 29 yrs. in prison (personally I think they deserve more) and all assets are frozen. These 590 people took 2.8 million people for over a billion dollars! A judge in Canada can direct any assets froze go back to the victims, but you would have to have reported it here. You may not recieve anything, but at least the crooks can be caught.
2. CALL THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION toll free at
1-877-382-4357. If they get enough phone calls from people they will start a class action suit against these people, it is important that enough of us call!!! after you have called rewrite these numbers on the site with the information that you called.
I HOPE SOME OF US RECOVER OUR LOSSES, OR AT LEAST THE CROOKS GO TO JAIL!!!
OTHER INFO I WAS TOLD BY THE AUTHORITIES IS:
the cell phone company being used in Canada is fido solutions, a very common company, and traceable numbers to help catch the crooks
This scam has been going on since the 1800's, even lawyers, doctors and very educated people have fallen for it, so don't beat yourself up if you are a victim.
IT IS ILLEGAL IN THE U.S. TO PLAY ANY INTERNATIONAL LOTTERY!!!--A FEDERAL LAW
I hope this helps, write on the site if you have done these things!! Thank you for your help! April

i have recieved a letter from the irish random lotto, with a check from precor, inc . i have tooken it to the bank and they will be diong an investigation. my letter is very similiar to what i have read (in massages) i also have called the company that issued the check , i have not got a response from them yet. i have come to believe that this is a lotto scam .
2006-07-12 17:28:53 -
I forgot to tell you that the checks are forgery, they are legitimate businesses that the crooks have stolen their bank info. from. If you cash the check you are actually committing a crime. If your honest and call the authorities right away and the bank, you will be less likely to get into trouble. Besides the banks want the crooks caught as much as you do!! Hiding from it all would only make you look guilty as a participant in the scam, and you could face up to nine years in prison! So inform the authorities and call the bank too!! Good luck Ellen

I received a letter from the Irish Random Lotto and I am wondering if it is for real or is it a scam. Does anyone know?
2006-07-12 02:20:07 -
Not sure how they got my name and address, especially as I'm a UK citizen living in the USA for a short period of time.
I am not listed anywhere here, as it is my husband who is working on a H1B visa. We will be leaving the USA in about 2 months time, not sure yet where, were going, depends on my husbands company and where they want him. Lets just hope these scams stop, if not for the annoyance but just to help the paper wastage.

You know what I cannot believe this S***! They got my hopes all up and they are with the dumb s****. I knew it I got a letter in the mail today from the Irish Random Lottery and the company that issued my check was Four Seasons Solar Production LLC. And for Betty Boop thanks for the info about the bottom of the check, on mine the check number was first the account number was second and the rounting number was last. These a**holes can kiss my a** and I will be reporting this to my bank. Thanks for all the answers

I too recieved a check from the irish random lotto. I too was skeptical of it being a scam. By reading what everyone else has posted here, I'm speechless and I wish I could find who started this and give them a beating worth about 85500 in doctor bills. Did anyone else do any on-line surveys? That's how I think I got caught by this

On July 11, 2006, I received a letter and check for $1495 from the
North-American Sweepstakes Lottery held on Dec. 30, 2005. The check was
made out by Evergreen American Corp. (Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi) and it
looks SO REAL!!!!! The letter stated I was one of 17 winners who had to
share the total of $834,460.00. I\'m really sure this is a scam!!!!
On the top of the letter there were company logos from different lottery
businesses, e.g. Pick4, Super7,Pick3, etc. Has anyone received
anything similar to this? If so, how did you handle it and did you report it?
It says I have to reply by October 4, 2006. Please respond to me for
any advice or suggestions!
