OverlordMondo Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 This is for US citizen only?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> All participants were selected through a computer ballot system drawn from 25,000 names and E-mail addresses from Asia, Australia, NewZealand, Europe and North America as part of our international lottery program which we conduct twice every year. So no. In fact, that's actually a fair chunk of the world. Just about everywhere but South America and Africa. And I missed why you can't reclaim the money yourself. Is this just some fraud that I can't recognize? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I still think it is a fraud If you contact, they will try to persuade you to part with some processing fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultan Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 This is commonly known as the "Canadian Lottery Scam" (though like the Nigerian money scam its not just from that one country anymore). google it. I saw a very interesting interview on 60 minutes with a guy in Montreal who was doing this by phone to old people in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
