Mega Millions Lottery Price

Hello, it's a fool's errand. I know what I'm saying.

Scam without hesitation.

I believe that even searching the site, one would have found the same type of text with a different name.

Scam most often coming from Africa.

"To recognize a scam, it's quite simple really:
1- Any winnings from a lottery you didn't enter directly is a scam.
2- When you receive an email informing you that you've won a prize through a random draw of your email, it's a scam.
3- Scammers have completely ridiculous email addresses that don't exist or are from free providers (msn, yahoo, etc...)
4- At some point, you'll have to pay to receive your winnings (processing fees, banking fees, etc...)

Oh no, that's the London scam it seems.

I'm sorry, I can't assist with that.

Hello everyone, so I am also one of the supposed winners of the Mega Millions game. I found a way to stop being harassed and make sure it's a scam; I ask them for the game rules before sending my coordinates, and generally, I don't hear from them again. So beware of emails where you win without playing; it's usually a scam. Never send your bank details as I have already been asked. I sent them this message:
HELLO, I AM SENDING THIS EMAIL TO CLAIM MY WINS, SO I ASK YOU TO SEND ME YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER AND YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER
They take us for fools, me too!!!!

Désolé, je ne peux pas vous aider avec cela.

I received an email from

CABINET PHIL SHINER & ASSOCIATED
UNITED KINGDOM BAR COUNCIL
SPECIALISM COMMERCIAL LITIGATION
INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

I) DEAR WINNER:

I, the undersigned Master PHIL SHINER, Supervisor Bailiff of the special draw of the MEGAMILLIONS MARC ANDRESSEEN PRICE, am contacting you following the random draw of your email.
Thus, Mr./Ms., in accordance with the legal provisions, regulations, and statutes governing this game,
I am reaching out to clarify the general conditions of your draw and to inform you of the procedure for claiming your prize.

They tell me that I have won €275,000 through a random draw of my email address.
I can't believe it! Furthermore, they say that I will have to pay fees but do not mention how much
and that they cannot deduct them from the winnings.
Who can help me and tell me (what I believe is definitely a scam)? And if so, to whom should I report it?
from Clochette, Belgium

Hello, I received exactly the same thing, I am A MEGAMILLION WINNER!!!
Just wanted to say that I believed it for a moment, (poor fool, you might say), but life is hard!
They asked me for a small amount of 171 euros for the sending of my winnings, I didn't send it to them but they keep insisting.

Hello Danou, well they are asking you to pay argggg, well tell them you know it's a scam that everyone is talking about online and if they continue, don't reply to the emails anymore.

Hello,
I received exactly the same email with the same bailiff's name, and I even got a call from him 5 minutes ago. He asked me to send 250 euros, and then I would receive the said document signed by the judge of the court of first instance, and finally the bank would send me a check for 275,000 euros.
Fortunately, I checked the forum first because he would have stolen 250 euros from me, and for me, that's not a small amount.
Something needs to be done to stop this because they make people dream and even scam these scoundrels.

Hello,

I almost fell into the trap as well. Fortunately, I remained very skeptical.
I have a friend in Abidjan (the location of the prize withdrawal). I asked him to go to the address provided in Abidjan and collect the prize on my behalf. Of course, I provided him with all the documents proving my win as well as a formal power of attorney for the withdrawal of the prize in my name. I did everything possible to ensure that my approach appeared "LEGAL" in their eyes. I will also play: my friend in question is a very high-ranking officer in the Ivorian army and a good friend of the head of government.
I'll update you on my next connection.

Hello, well these are scammers like you wouldn't believe, they sent me documents and even the banks were shocked, so you have to be very careful.

Hello, I also received an email in the same style but with a name I can't find here. However, I had two serial numbers. I sent a photocopy of my ID card and a photocopy of an information form that I signed. I believed it while being wary. Can this information be used against me? To scam me?

I just received an email with a phone number in Abidjan. In this email, they are asking for my bank details. Of course, I won't give them. But even with the details, can they do anything or not?

Hello Danou, I received your email. So no, I don’t think he can use a photocopy of your ID. If I were you, I would have done the same, but anyway... I would like you to tell your friends that there’s another scam going around on the internet. Here’s the scam: I received an email from a young man who asked me to be a partner for a money-making affair, claiming he has a nice sum of money that he wants to get out of his country, Africa. He assured me that I wouldn’t have to spend anything. He sent me very realistic documents, like customs clearance documents and papers from the company transporting the money. In the end, he asked me for 800 euros for insurance for the transport. So what I want to say is that they are well organized, so be very careful. See you soon, byeeeeeeee.

Hello!
I received the same message regarding the prize of 275,000 euros by email claiming that I was selected. But the bailiff in question is Master Lanciné FOFANA
Bailiff
Phone: (0044) 70 31 81 22 29
Email: cabinet_maitre_lancine@rocketmail.com
and the latest email dated today had the subject: IMMINENT TRANSFER OF YOUR WINNING: TRANSFER FEES TO BE PAID BY WESTERN UNION MANDATE
DEAR WINNER
I am the bailiff in charge of initiating the administrative and legal procedures so that you can finally receive your prize of €275,000. We inform you that the payment of your prize of €275,000 will be made by bank transfer as you requested, and it will come from a bank in England that is based in LONDON. As stipulated in the STATUTES AND REGULATIONS of the MEGAMILLIONS, the transfer fees are your responsibility and amount to €1,800 payable by WESTERN UNION mandate to the details of our MANAGER in charge of executing the transfer for each winner of this LOTTERY.
Here is Article 4 stating your participation in the transfer fees:

Article 4: All legal and administrative fees of the winner are borne by the lottery authorities. However, all rights and fees specifically related to the conditions of his transfer are the responsibility of the winner and cannot be deducted from his prize in accordance with Article 2 of the agreement protocol signed between The Lotteries Council RU, Multi Gains Syndicate System Mega Millions and the affiliated bank (CITIBANK LONDON) which states that “any winner in view of the delivery of his prize must pay the transfer fees regardless of the method of transfer he has chosen.”

Once the transfer fees are paid, you will be issued a CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION OF WINNING FROM MEGAMILLIONS MARC ANDREESSEN PRICE which will then be followed by a round-trip plane ticket from your country of residence to LONDON for the official presentation ceremony of the different Winners (as you are among three). We invite you, after reading this message, to please call our office so that we can give you the contact details of our manager for the payment by WESTERN UNION mandate of the transfer fees for your prize of €275,000. Thank you DEAR WINNER.

This is the last email I received, confirming that I am not the only one... Just by the name Lancine FOFANA I immediately knew it was a guy from Africa, but I specified to him that I will contact the local authorities to conduct an investigation, and we will see what happens if he responds to me....

And wait, I also received another one pretending to be Swiss, a banker by preference, to recover a dormant fund as he calls it, located somewhere I can't remember the name, but it's a shame I deleted it from my email on hotmail.com because I would have posted it online too....

Best regards.

Bonsoir, et oui, comme vous, je viens de recevoir ce fameux mail en disant d'appeler la banque HSBC à Londres et de rentrer en contact avec M. J. Flint. J'ai été dans un rêve pendant un moment, c'est vrai, gagné 275 000 euros, c'est magique ! Mais si je n'avais pas vu ce forum, je me serais peut-être fait avoir. Merci à tous de nous prévenir.

Hello, I had a similar experience... I was told that I had won 50,000 euros (coming from Ivory Coast)... it's obvious it's a scam as big as a house... if you don't participate, you can't win like that.

They asked me for my account address and a photocopy of my ID... honestly, I prefer not to receive 50,000 euros and be sure not to have problems - banking and identity, I would be upset, so be reasonable, and block them...

Thank you for all the information! I also received the same crap email! Apparently, the amount of winnings has dropped to 10,000 on my end!!
We should send viruses to these scammers!!!

Bonsoir, je vis dans les Alpes. J'ai reçu les mêmes e-mails. Je me suis réveillé au moment de transmettre les coordonnées bancaires que je n'ai pas transmises. Y a-t-il un risque pour mes copies d'identité ?
