I am a Senior Fraud Victim Advocate with Fraudaid.org , first of all what you have experienced is what we call a Fake Lottery Scam. It is designed for one purpose only and that is to get innocent and unsuspecting people involved in the fantasy of winning a ton of money. They use this scam to do one of two things:

Launder money by sending you a check with your winnings letter and instructing you to depsosit the check and send off a portion of it to pay so called fees and taxes to free up your winnings OR for the purpose of getting you to pay advanced fees to gain access to your winnings. Here are the cold hard facts:

1. If you did not purchase a lottery ticket , you could not have won that lottery. Why? Lotteries only exist on the money gained through the sale of tickets. The money they get from people purchasing tickets IS the money or at least a portion of that money that is dished out in winnings.

2. IF you have gotten a surprise winning notification and a check from a lottery company you had better verify that the lottery is real and that the check was indeed issued to you by the " Account Holder". Most likely that check is Counterfeit and you can wind up in a heap of trouble either with your bank or legally if you cash it.

NEVER EVER send money to anyone you do not know via services like Western Union, Money Gram etc based on a sales pitch or promise. Those services are widely used to scam people out of hard earned money. Why? Simply put... once that money is sent and picked up at the other end there is NO way to retrieve it or to recover your losses.

For more information on scams and how to protect yourself visit us at www.fraudaid.org What you do not know can hurt you.

Always remember ...

Silence is a thief's best friend... word-of-mouth is his worst enemy! Spread the word.

my name is currently on the freelotto pending ticket, i did not realise what was going on when i signed on, As soon as i signed up a fraud alert flashed up, it would be nice if this kind of alert was in place before taking such SCAMS, I am now going to sit back and watch.

If you are getting email after relentless email, do what I did. I created a filter so that all emails with the words freelotto gets forwarded to:

PrizeSupervisor@freelotto.com
Results@freelotto.com
MembershipDirector@freelotto.com
Winners@freelotto.com
offers@freelotto.com
domreg@freelotto.com

So now I don't get emails from them because as soon as one is sent to me, it gets forwarded to the emails above instead. If everyone created filters like this, they would be overwhelmed and would have to close those email accounts and hopefully the website too.

I also thought it was B.S. but read the congradulatory email carefully. It says you have won UPON submission of the correct numbers. I always had checked the results and did not match the numbers completely. so how could i have won? I did not..cuz it says UPON submission of correct numbers. beware of signing up for FAST play..once they have your card number its tough to get off it. and..no phone number to contact them?

I am from the Philippines, and i have also received an email message stated that I won $1Million. The Freelotto.com has been sending me couple of messages since April. I'm confused about this conspiracy, I even gave them my information, about my email add, and personal identity. It tired me once, but still trying, but I haven't gave them my credit number or I haven't yet paid any bills for claiming my prize.

To those people who have received or informed about this Freelotto thing, please comment or help find justice if this is really a scam.

Just one of the people:THINKING ALOUD!

FreeLotto a division of Plasma Net, is a real sweepstakes/lottery that you can play 6 games every day by entering 6 number in the first 5 and 7 in the 6th. The $10, 000, 000.00 card is the only one with 2nd, 3rd, & 4th place prizes where you can win $300.00, $3.00, and $1.00, respectively. If you want F.A.S.T. to play your numbers daily, the price is $14.99. You don't have to choose F.A.S.T., though, and can click the link to play FreeLotto free.

You must play to win. If you play correctly, you will receive a TSN number by email for each game. F.A.S.T. sends you your numbers listed in one email. If you win, you must submit the applicable TSN to prize claim per the rules. If you win using F.A.S.T., you will receive a letter saying "You Have Won" but you must submit the TSN number from the numbers you were notified as played, not like I did at first the one from the letter notifying me that I won.

Beware, there are fraudulent mailers and FreeLotto warns registered players of this with examples and advice on reporting. FreeLotto doesn't want you to be scammed, they want you to win.

I agree because among all the people who has put up their complaints seem to be genuine. Why is it that NONE and i repeat NON of these have ever been given the money they have won? It is only one player who got one dollar! Just imagine one dollar! ! ! !
I think it is a big SCAM! And i wonder what the US Government is doing since they are superup in tracking down other criminals all over the world when they can not arrest peolpe who are conning others just at their door steps. I'm just wondering loudly. Why do the freelotto team insist on players to submit their credit cards? Why? This is one why of enslaving the unsuspenting freelotto players to defraud them cash. I really wonder. You promise heven where us you deliver the innocent to hell my friends! Can you come clear and tell us how many people you have indeed issued with checks all over the globe. Let us know please.
If you are genuine then use any card to give the checks out but don't demand for credit cards only. Let the genuine winners get their checks straight as they win
