SGB CI Scam and Kingoloto

Hello everyone, here is the email I received two days ago. Moreover, it associates the name and logo of the Kingoloto games site. They really have no fear, because this can be verified easily with the main site, especially since they provide the address at the end of the email.
Plus, I'm not even registered on this gaming site.

They are quite cute, but I had my credit card hacked online a month ago, not all the time though.

Merry Christmas to all.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

It's not a scam since you don't pay to play, but the webmaster makes a ton of money with 800,000 people clicking on an ad 10 times a day.

Even if you pay 0.0001 cents per visitor, he earns 800 euros a day.

Basically, it's paid clicks but not for you.

You're a little Chinese person working for peanuts....

Other info: Most winners have a multi-postal address. This means that all the postal codes are for multiple cities. It's impossible to find a real winner.

82230, 31270, 24850: 37 cities for 3 postal codes

And where is the bailiff who controls the draw?
And a computer-generated draw is not legal...

Finally, it's not a scam but a guy who found the trick with his 60,000,000 sheep.

Indeed, it's a scam.
The goal is to encourage you to make a mandate under the pretext of paying fees or anything else.

WARNING: This non-STEPHANE BINT is used by Ivorian scammers who, under the pretext of helping you recover scammed funds, will give you the email of a FAKE Ivorian police inspector... who will then ask you to send him money for "fees"....!!! And so on... Never send any money... or your banking details to strangers.
The only guarantee: that their address starts with https:// Without the S, do nothing...

Kingoloto is not very reliable, it cost me my computer and I receive hundreds of emails per day. Moreover, they take the liberty of changing the general conditions.... IT'S UP TO YOU TO DECIDE.

If the site kingoloto is indeed a scam; I received an email notifying me of winning a Samsung smartphone on 02/17/2015, checked on the site, and it was indeed true; Not seeing anything come, I sent them an email regarding the shipping fees, received acknowledgment but still nothing received a month later, I tried to contact them, total silence.

Hello everyone, one of my friend's uncle won a computer on the kingoloto website so I suppose that this site is not a scam.

Except that these emails do not come from kingoloto or, for other scams of this type, from Microsoft or Coca-Cola.
The scammers use the names of well-known companies to convince victims to make international money transfers to cover fees that will allow them to cash in on imaginary jackpots.

The message you receive starts with Microsoft and ends with Kingoloto, and you still don't understand!!!!!

I am also apparently the winner of the sum of 100,000 euros following the Kingoloto random draw.
I am asked to contact Master Aka Narcisse for the procedures to follow as well as the sending of my winnings.
I am asked for the sum of 480 euros to confirm the sending of my winnings according to I don't really remember which law blah blah blah...
I sense a scam coming as big as a house!
What do you think?

Attention !
You may receive emails supposedly from Kingoloto, but they are actually from fraudulent companies using Kingoloto's image.

Kingoloto is a serious company, and it will never ask you for money to claim your winnings! You can contact them on their Facebook page, and they will respond!

The company is not based abroad but in France.
Have a nice day!

KINGOLOTTO = SCAM. I confirm: I've been waiting for my prize (1 DVD!) since November 2009, and despite several follow-ups, where they tell me they have delivery problems, still nothing. IT'S REALLY A SCAM, KINGOLOTTO.

As usual, the most well-known scams often come from Ivory Coast. They even tried to scam me with my car, so BE CAREFUL!

g received roughly the same letter for an amount of 100,000 euros with a file in PDF format. I have many questions, so I sent an email to the bailiff without giving him my contact details, stating that our email exchanges would be monitored by a friend of mine who is a lawyer and that if I did not hear back from him soon, I would conclude it was a scam and would consult the relevant authorities after discussing with my lawyer friend, of course. Having also studied law for a few years, I felt entitled to remind the bailiff of what he was required to do during his draws, namely to verify the setup of the draw, ensure the proper conduct of the draw, and that the winnings be delivered to the rightful recipient under penalty of losing his profession for fraud. That’s where I am for now, I am waiting.

And yes, I fell for it too. I won an LCD television on May 1, 2010, in a drawing, and I received about ten messages indicating there was a problem with the supplier following my emails.

kingloto too disappointed I received my 2009 DVD in November 2010 and this year when it came time to order there are no gifts available anymore how can I be upset after two years of playing every day as much as it is to buy it

I confirm, I have been waiting for my lot purchased with the accumulated points since May 2010.
The response emails from customer service are always just perfect excuses like "the email must have gotten lost in spam," or "we are reaching out to our provider"...
The real question remains: do they even send out a lot in a year??

vaness46
 
already in November 2010 I couldn't order gifts with my points and now with 150,000 points there are no nice gifts left! Do they reset the points to zero and when when the gifts are not ordered I feel the scam again!

especially if you're asked for money to get your winnings, it's a scam; everything is free, either you won or you didn't, that's it.

I just read all the comments as well as yours, and I realize that I am not the most "fooled" by Kingoloto, I who complained that the 90-day deadline announced as "acceptable" by them was exceeded by a few days. I see that some have waited or are still waiting for almost 2 years. I suppose that when it comes to a valuable prize, there are surely ways to address this. For my part, I started to worry when I saw that the lots I had purchased with points were no longer being offered. When I shared my concern with them, I received the "generic" response about the 90-day deadline, although they are supposedly doing their best to shorten it. Of course, it’s a principle; with these online sales companies, the shipping cost exceeds the price of two 8GB SD cards, while the ones they were offering were only 2GB. The Leclerc store next to my house offers the same brand in 8GB for 5.60 euros. Thankfully, I didn’t wait for them to send me my prize to use my slide scanner that I bought for Christmas, which only works with SD cards. I must say that I have encountered serious people at Kingoloto, but only when I expressed my complaints on an internet site that they cannot censor. Otherwise, the negligence is far too frequent; one gets the impression of discussing with people who do not speak French or who read your message "haphazardly".

One should be wary of many messages received such as "Congratulations..." from so-called IKEA, EDF, Air France, Super U, etc. I also play Kingoloto, and I notice that the site apparently no longer works. I had over 1,000,000 points, and coincidentally, I sent them messages and always received the same response, they are looking into the issue. And ultimately, it was closed without any notice. Do they even have the right to do that???

Oh yes, I almost had 3,000,000 points and just over €27 in winnings.

Legal? I don't know about that, but you are right, the site is indeed closed and surely the banalotto site will follow!!!!

It stinks! When a site closes like this without warning, it smells like panic...
I think I'm going to sit on the 1,200,000 points that I refused to exchange with an unreliable lottery, or even a 'store' with nothing on the shelves. And on top of that, the Amazon gift cards that were never received.
A little anecdote? After a complaint email, I received... the source of their program! Let's add a completely incompetent IT service to the mix, although one might suspect a cost-cutting subcontracting that ultimately failed them by abruptly shutting down the site for probably justified reasons.
In short, we are indeed on the brink of fraud. When will there be a lottery game police on the Internet?

Hello, this morning the site is back up, we can still play.
However, there is no longer any way to access the shop, just like Banalotto;
To also respond regarding the gift vouchers, I have always received the ones I won and took advantage of.
