Hello,

Here is the email I received, which I am sharing by copy-paste.
I believe it so much that I have followed all the procedures requested, such as the duly filled recognition form, and I have sent back the copy along with the copy of the Administrative and Legal procedure. For now, I have only communicated my identity, with my address and phone number, not yet any request for a bank account or the address of my banking institution. In any case, their thing seems so credible, and I received it in my inbox and not in the spam folder.
Am I being too naive?
Thank you for your response.

Andréa

Hello

Obviously a scam...

But, above all, if you have sent copies of identification documents... File a report with the police to establish a record... as your identity is very likely to be stolen and you may find yourself accused of various nonsense done in your name...

See you later

  Thank you very much for this valuable information. Fortunately, I haven't sent any documents or copies of my ID, but I did fill out a form with my name, surname, address, and phone number. Am I at risk because of that?

  No, as long as these elements could be found in a phone directory... These are copies of official documents that are used....
  
  And as long as you haven't given any banking information... they won't be able to exploit the elements.

There are already quite a few similar topics on the forum.

See you later.

  Hello,
  I just received a notice from EuroGain asking me to contact their private line (04.22.85.13.73) for the release of the 1st prize. Of course, I'm ignoring it. Be careful!

I also just received a notice of a win! The bailiff to contact is Maître Jean-Pierre Benevise @gmail.com !! I won €680,000, wonderful! Of course, it's a fake email! But what's surprising is that the signature is that of the real CEO of FDJ!!! One mustn't believe in Santa Claus!!!!

  Uh.....
  
  I was a bit puzzled by your post, and then I assumed (since I don’t play any of those things) that you were talking about something from a state scratch game....
  
  If that’s the case, well, take comfort in knowing that you participated in voluntary tax.... uh, I mean the national effort ;-)

  No way! I bet €3.50, tomorrow I'll have €1...
  P.S.: I scratch once a year, bet €1
  I prefer horses, just for the friendly atmosphere, which you don't have with online games, at the little café in the morning
  Of course, you have to be an early riser...

  "You definitely have to be an early riser..." or a night owl... when I worked nights, I had colleagues who would stop at the PMU on their way home....
  
  Well, let's stop trolling the topic now....

  Hello to you too....
  
  All "simply" these scams, for the most part, are set up outside of French/European jurisdiction... and are therefore out of reach....

I just received the second notice of winning within two months, always with the same terms. The only thing that changes is the name of the bailiff and the person responsible for the operations. I did not follow up the first time, and I do not plan to do so this time either.
What struck me the first time was:
- the name of the institution in charge of organizing the lottery
- the email address of the sender (***@***) for this type of issue, one would expect something more official (***@***, .....)
- the absence of a contact phone/fax number
- the advertising poster of the English lottery embedded with FDJ logos....

We can point out more revealing elements of a clear scam case.

Hello, I just received this notice of winning as well and I am convinced that it's a scam. They are asking for a payment of €510 to establish the so-called official winning title and on top of that, they keep harassing me on the phone. What can we do to stop them from causing harm?

I received the same thing today with the name of a law firm from Bordeaux, Maître VINCENS, which does exist... but they are asking for a transfer from me of €510 to recover the winnings;;; is this a scam?????

  You don't actually read the messages above?
  
  Yes, Master VINCENS does exist, but it is not him who contacts you, nor will you contact him. The names are simply usurped. It's not complicated to find the name of a bailiff.
  
  And yes, all of this is a scam, paying to receive a prize, where have you seen that?

I also received 2 of the same types of emails in my inbox. I looked into the people mentioned in these winnings notices. They do indeed exist. I even noted the contact details of a bailiff. I saw his profile. I will contact him and ask if he is aware of this EUROMILLION winnings notice.

  It's very simple.
  NEVER does the EuroMillions contact someone for a win. It's up to the person WHO PARTICIPATED to take action.
