Free lotto! is it fake stuff?
Answers:
Free Lotto is a credit card scam run by a criminal group called PlasmaNet from a P.O. box at Grand Central Station in N.Y. I am a retired Police Officer that as a hobby investigates Internet fraud. Free Lotto is one of the biggest scams. Go to www.ripoffreport.com and enter the search words Free Lotto and you will find hundreds that have been taken in. Internet Survey companies are the biggest source of scammers getting your email address. Free Lotto sells your email address to other scammers so be aware, you will, in all probability, have more scams come across your computer screen. Free Lotto, once they have your credit card information draws anywhere from $9.95 to $20.00 a month from your account. You must notify your bank in person immediatly. The checks that have come to winners from Free Lotto are in the $00.18 (18 cents) to no more than $1.00 (one dollar) range and they are drawn on accounts that don't exist. Bouncers. If you have been a victim, as many have, your local FBI Office will have an email address that you can forward the offending email to. Call your local office and ask for the address. Tell them if you are a victim or not. The Federal Communtions Commission also has an investigative arm that you may forward the complaint to. Here is the Name, address and phone of the crook that runs Free Lotto. I suggest those that have been taken, is give him a call. Kevin J. Aronin, 20 Echo Bay Place, New Rochelle N.Y. (914) 654-8900. He may have changed his number by now because I have advised many that have contacted me to call him. Many complaints have gone to the Attorney General of New York but they have found no reason as yet to investigate. There are hundreds that have had their accounts stolen from even after they have "Unsubscribed" from Free Lotto so I find it curious that law enforcement has done nothing on this scam. Just be aware. I have read many of the questions on this site on lotteries and every one I have seen here is a scam. There is no free lunch, there is no "Pie in the Sky" but what there is are a lot of crooks that are very smart on the computer, but as a whole stupid on the scams they run. They play to the victims greed and the something for nothing that baits many in. Use common sense. I suggest that those that have been taken in by Free Lotto advise the I.R.S. of Income Tax fraud by Mr. Aronin. The I.R.S. will make his life more miserable than the FBI can. The FBI can jail him but the IRS will hound him for the rest of his life, in fact, even after he is dead they will hound him.
Yes, especially if it is in the form of email.. Do not ever fall for something unsolicited in your email. I was fooled by someone pretending to be my bank last week- and I have been on the internet for ten years. Be careful

always.
Oh yeah
yes, absolutely! I've tested 2 of them and the last one today!
I intentionaly gave them wrong information about the winning nr or lucky nr and ticket nr (which they sent me), But they didn't realize that those information are wrong and replied me that my documents and evidence is correct!
Dont believe in them.
In fact, why should they pay us this amount of money when we didn't buy the ticket?
It is a scam
Coach
It's a scam.
To get the supposed prize you have to sign up to PAY for lotteries, then you will get a cheque for cents, the wording of prizes allows this as it says - or other prize won.
Possibly yes, possibly no.
If it is fake what the whole purpose is the free lotto is a way to reel in people for an ad or commercial. Once the free lotto expires, then the site will start selling something to those whom looked interested.
If not, then months from now you will still hear about the free lotto.
just remember to read the small print.
hell yea! dun believe in tht stuff..
i work at a bank.. n ive seen a lot of innocent people get fooled in these scams. usually, the scammer asks you to send some money to their account in order to recieve your lotto wins.. but instead they send u a fake check.. now the check could take anywhere between 2 to 4 weeks to clear.. and the bank as a courtesy makes the funds available to the customer until then.. but when the check bounces.. hehe.. u knw wat happens!
Of course fake.
Can anyone imagine a business where you give money away for nothing and take nothing back?
If you haven't bought a legit ticket for a legit lottery / lotto, then you will not be winning anything.
The idea is to appeal to people's greed, they then send of their bank account details and passport - which the scammers can then use to "prove the bank account is THEIRS" and whoops, one empty bank account.
